A second run at the real format, drawn fresh from the 362-question bank. This is the one to take after the signs test and the right-of-way set have had a day to settle: school bus stops with their two lawful endings and no third, the move-over duty as section 1144-a actually states it, and U-turn visibility at 500 feet, a figure older material gets wrong. Same double gate, same early stop.

20 questions, four of them about road signs. At least 14 right passes, and at least 2 of the 4 sign questions must be right as well. The run stops early at 14 right or 7 wrong. The DMV publishes no time limit, so the timer in timed mode is a study device. There's no signup and nothing to pay.

The sign gate still applies.
Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
A yellow diamond warning sign shows a car with wavy lines under its wheels. What should you do?
✓ Correct answer: Slow down; the road is slippery when wet
Warning signs name the condition ahead so you can set your speed and position before you reach it. The sign is a legal traffic control device, not decoration. (MUTCD design adopted under VTL section 1680.)

You are turning left from a one way street onto another street. Where do you start the turn?
✓ Correct answer: From the far left lane
The rule follows the side of the turn: left turns start from the leftmost lawful lane, on one way streets as on two way ones. (VTL section 1160.)

Holding a phone to your ear for a call while driving is banned by which rule?

How long is the minimum licence revocation for refusing a chemical test?
