What questions do they ask on permit tests?

Answer 1

Nobody knows. If you get the Driver Study Guide they have some sample questions over each chapter. There are some websites that you can get on also to take practice tests but those aren't going to be the exact questions on the test. :)

Answer 2

Generally speaking, in the USA, you can expect any topic from your driver's handbook. So some areas might include:

1. sign shapes and colors
2. sign meanings
3. distances
4. speed limits for specific areas (ex. school zone)
5. road line meanings (single; double; broken lines) and colors (white; yellow)
6. rules for overtaking and passing a vehicle

Examples:1. On your right is a white solid line. On the driver's side is a solid double yellow set of lines. A tractor trailer is moving at 25 MPH with his hazard lights flashing. Can you pass when you see a white solid line on the right and solid unbroken yellow lines down the center?

Answer: The white line on the right marks the road's shoulder; you cannot drive there so this has nothing to do with passing. (Yes, there are trick questions sometimes.) A solid double yellow center line means NO passing. It does not matter if the vehicle ahead is traveling 5 MPH-- do not pass it.

2. You are not permitted to drive on the shoulder of a road. A white solid line indicates the right side of the road (both sides; right side depending which way you are going). A police car turns on his lights and siren. Should you: Pull off if there is enough room regardless of the white line? Wait until you see a private driveway 5 miles down the road so you do not cross the white line? Wait until you see a parking lot?

Answer: You can cross the white line to pull off and stop for a police car. Make sure you have enough room to pull off safely, and pull as far to the right as you can. But you cannot use the shoulder as a "lane"-- you cannot drive thru or pass on a shoulder.

3. A police car comes up behind you with lights and siren. The shoulder is very narrow, with a guard rail very close to the roadway. What do you do?

Answer: Put on your turn signal and begin to slow down. Look for a safe place wide enough to pull over.

4. You are on a rural road and often see yellow signs posted. One indicates a sideways U with an arrow pointing left. It says 15 MPH. But you live in the area. You know this curve and most drivers take it at 35 MPH. A driver is riding your bumper. Should you maintain your speed? Begin to slow well before the curve and reduce speed to 15 MPH? Step on your brakes to get the guy off your bumper but speed up so you're going 35 around the curve?

Answer: Begin to slow well before the curve and reduce speed to 15 MPH. Don't step on your brakes fast. Let the jerk behind you do whatever but you must follow the speed limit.

5. At an intersection is a red flashing light on your side. The crossroads have a yellow flashing light. You can see, from a distance, no vehicles. Can you blow through the red flashing light?

Answer: NO. Even if you think you see "no one coming", you must still come to a full stop at the red flashing light. Look both ways for traffic. If clear, go ahead.

6. Four drivers come to a 4-way stop sign on 2 roads. Who goes first?

Answer: The person who arrived first, then yield right of way to the driver to the right. If everyone got

there at the same time, wait-- usually other drivers will signal by hand "go ahead". Then, yield to the driver on the right.

Answer 3

you need to know all of the common road signs, for example, which road sign would mean a no passing zone? the answer would be diamond pendant. you will also need to know the common road rules which are basically all common sense, but one of the harder questions is which way should your wheels should be facing if there is no curb or if there is a curb? the answer for no curb would be to the right and the answer for a curb would be away from the curb or to the left. you can also go to your local DMV office and get a study guide. there are practice questions in the back of the book, study those! make sure you know all of the practice test answers. good luck with your test!
