Sample questions
Think of your answer first, then open the explanation.
A. 500 feet
The New Jersey Driver Manual says headlights must be used between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise, and when visibility is 500 feet or less (N.J.S.A. 39:3-46).
C. A $500 fine and two points
The New Jersey Driver Manual says a Safe Passing Law violation causing bodily injury brings a $500 fine and two points; without injury the fine is $100 and no points.
B. Wait and do not cut into the line
