Louisiana Permit Test (Class D & E Guide) — All Questions

During heavy rain, which is common in Louisiana, a driver should:

• a.Drive on the shoulder
• b.Use high beams for more light
• c.Slow down, turn on low-beam headlights, and increase following distance✓
• d.Keep the same speed as on dry roads

In heavy rain, reduce speed, turn on low beams (required when wipers are in use in Louisiana), and leave more following distance to avoid hydroplaning and rear-end crashes. (Louisiana Class D & E Driver's Guide, driving in rain)

If your tires lose contact with the road and hydroplane, you should:

• a.Turn the wheel sharply
• b.Take your foot off the gas and steer straight until the tires grip✓
• c.Brake hard immediately
• d.Speed up

When hydroplaning, ease off the accelerator and keep the wheel steady until the tires regain traction; hard braking or steering can send you into a skid. (Louisiana Class D & E Driver's Guide, wet roads)

In Louisiana, headlights must be turned on:

• a.Only on the interstate
• b.Only in the city
• c.From sunset to sunrise and whenever windshield wipers are in continuous use✓
• d.Only after midnight

Louisiana requires headlights from sunset to sunrise, in poor visibility, and whenever your wipers are in continuous use because of rain, fog, or mist. (Louisiana Class D & E Driver's Guide, headlight use)

The safest general following distance in good conditions is measured by the:

• a.Ten-car rule
• b.One-second rule
• c.Three-second rule✓
• d.No rule is needed

The three-second following rule gives time to react. Pick a fixed object; if you pass it less than three seconds after the vehicle ahead, drop back and add time in rain or fog. (Louisiana Class D & E Driver's Guide, following distance)
