Illinois DMV Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is 2

A driver under the age of 21 who is convicted of two or more moving violations within two years will have his or her license suspended for at least 30 days.

Not quite. The answer is a sideswipe accident.

When you encounter a truck traveling next to you in the same direction, keep as far as possible to the side to avoid being sideswiped and reduce the wind turbulence between the two vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is 3 to 4 seconds

Allow at least three to four seconds' following distance behind a motorcycle to give the motorcyclist enough time to maneuver in an emergency. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than a car.

Not quite. The answer is A stop sign is ahead.

Most warning signs are diamond shaped with a yellow background. This sign gives you advance warning of a stop sign ahead. Prepare to stop and yield. You must stop before any stop line or crosswalk painted on the pavement.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

If you are driving, check the label before you take a drug for warnings about its effect(s). If you are not sure whether it is safe to take the drug and drive, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any side effects. Drugs taken for headaches, colds, hay fever or other allergies, or those to calm nerves can make a person drowsy and can affect his or her driving. Other prescription drugs can affect your reflexes, judgment, vision, and alertness in ways similar to alcohol.

Not quite. The answer is the outside lanes for turning and the center lanes for through travel.

On a one-way street with three or more lanes of traffic, use the center lanes for through travel and the outside lanes for turning.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic may flow on both sides.

This sign means that traffic on the road may flow on both sides of the sign.

Not quite. The answer is A broken white line that allows passing

A broken or dashed line (either white or yellow) next to your lane means that you may pass if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is Type of alcohol

Type of alcohol does not affect blood alcohol concentration. Standard servings of each type of alcohol all contain the same amount.

Not quite. The answer is check your vehicle's blind spot.

If you are changing lanes, preparing to pass another vehicle, or entering traffic, signal and check for passing traffic by looking in your mirrors. Once the mirrors indicate it is safe to change lanes, check your vehicle's blind spot by glancing over your shoulder to the rear in the direction of the lane change.

Not quite. The answer is They're all the same

All of the answers contain the same amount of alcohol.

Not quite. The answer is An alternate route is 1,000 feet ahead.

This sign indicates that there is a road closure ahead but there is an alternate route in 1,000 feet.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

If a driver is convicted of three or more DUI charges, commits DUI while driving a school bus or limousine, or commits DUI that causes a fatality or serious injury, the driver may be charged with aggravated DUI.

Not quite. The answer is passing.

The left lane on a highway is used for passing. If a vehicle wants to pass you, you should move safely to the right. Do not increase your speed until the other vehicle has passed you.

Not quite. The answer is $50,000

Illinois requires every vehicle driven within the state to be covered by an automobile insurance policy that includes at least $50,000 of coverage for multiple serious injuries or deaths in a crash.

Not quite. The answer is hydroplaning.

Hydroplaning may occur when you drive through water at speeds over 35 mph. This is a condition in which the tires ride on a thin film of water instead of riding on the pavement. It can lead to loss of control. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down when driving on wet roads.

Not quite. The answer is an overpass ahead; clearance from the roadway surface to the overpass is 13 feet 6 inches.

This sign indicates that you are approaching an overpass, and the clearance from the roadway surface to the overpass is 13 feet 6 inches.

Not quite. The answer is a narrow bridge ahead.

This is a bridge warning sign. The bridge ahead is narrower than the roadway. Slow down.

Not quite. The answer is headlights in your rear-view mirror.

Buses and trucks require a much longer stopping distance than cars do. Do not enter a roadway, right in front of a large vehicle. When passing a large vehicle, do not merge back in front of the vehicle until you can see its headlights in your rear-view mirror. Do not make sudden stops in front of large vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is Do all of the above.

If you are involved in a crash that causes damage to an unattended vehicle (no driver or passenger is present) or other property, you must stop your vehicle in an area away from traffic and leave your name, address, phone number, and license plate number on the vehicle or property. If you cannot find the owner, notify the police and complete all required crash reports.
