Mississippi Driver's Manual - Appendix B |
|
| This book needs to be re-written by a teacher. The
subjects are poorly grouped and the number of typos is astounding. The
questions in the back may or may not have answers in the book.
Nevertheless, it's what you have to study to pass the test for a
permit.
We took quite a lot of time to locate the <possible> answers to the Appendix B sample questions and are pleased to share their locations. If we were unsure, there's a question mark... so keep that in mind! If you know or find out better/clearer answers, please share them
