These lanes are marked on each side by solid and broken (dashed) yellow lines.

In Mississippi, when are you allowed to make a left turn at a red light?

  1. If you are turning from a one-way street onto a two-way street
  2. If you are turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street
  3. Never
  4. If you are turning from a two-way street onto a one-way street

Correct answer: B

Explanation: In Mississippi, you may make a left turn at a red light if you are turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street. You must still come to a complete stop and yield to traffic and pedestrians before turning. Note: The laws on this are different in some other states. A few states (e.g., Michigan) also allow you to turn left from a two-way street onto a one-way street. Some other states (e.g., Missouri) prohibit left turns on red altogether. When traveling out of Mississippi, always check the local traffic laws.

For an underage Mississippi driver's first DUI offense, his or her license will be suspended for a period of ____ days.

  1. 60
  2. 30
  3. 90
  4. 120

Correct answer: D

Explanation: For an underage Mississippi driver's first DUI offense, his or her license will be suspended for a period of 120 days, just as if he or she were at least 21 years old. However, the court may order the installation of an ignition-interlock device (IID) in the driver's vehicle for 120 days instead of the 120-day license suspension. The IID will prevent the vehicle from starting if the driver has consumed alcohol recently. [Zero Tolerance DUI Penalties, Driving under the Influence & Implied Consent, Mississippi Driver's Manual]
