π‘ Test Day Tips
- β’The Nebraska knowledge test has 25 questions; you must answer 20 correctly (80%) to pass.
- β’The legal BAC limit is 0.08; drivers under 21 face a 0.02 zero-tolerance limit, and refusing a chemical test triggers an Administrative License Revocation.
- β’Nebraska uses a point system: accumulating 12 or more points within a two-year period results in a six-month license revocation.
- β’Young drivers in the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program face passenger and night-driving restrictions until they meet the requirements for a full operator's license.
- β’You must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm; on a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must stop.
