Texas car practice set 1, Class C
Private practice site. Chapbook is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of motor vehicles, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any state or county agency. These are practice tests written by us to help you study. They are not the official test, and passing here does not give you a licence, a permit, a card, or a certificate of any kind.
Twenty-five questions drawn from the full Texas bank, spread across licences, signs, right of way, speed, and sharing the road. Texas DPS publishes no question count and no pass mark for the real Class C test, so this set is graded against our own practice target of 60 percent, and it makes no claim to be the real test's length. What it does claim is the law: every question is written from the Transportation Code as it stands after the 2025 changes, and every answer names its section.

Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
Who may drive a car on a Texas highway without holding a driver licence for that class of vehicle?
✓ Correct answer: Almost no one; driving on a highway without the right class of licence is against the law
Sec. 521.021 bars driving on a highway in Texas without a driver's licence issued under the chapter. Sec. 521.025(a)(1) adds that the licence must be the class appropriate for the type of vehicle being driven. (Texas Transportation Code secs. 521.021 and 521.025(a)(1).)

On a divided highway with a wide median, where do you drive?
✓ Correct answer: On the right-hand roadway, and not in or across the dividing space except through an opening or at a crossover
On a divided highway you drive on the right roadway unless an official traffic control device or a police officer directs or permits another roadway. You may not drive over, across, or in the dividing space except through an opening or at a crossover or intersection set by a public authority. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.063(a) and (b).)

A hearse leads a funeral procession through a red light behind a police escort. As a cross driver, what is the safe legal reading?
✓ Correct answer: Follow the directions of the officers controlling traffic at the scene; their direction outranks the signal
However a procession is organised, the rules a cross driver can rely on are the standing ones: you may not wilfully fail to comply with a lawful order or direction of a police officer, and you comply with a traffic-control device unless you're otherwise directed by a police officer. Guessing a procession's privileges from the driver's seat is how crashes happen. (Texas Transportation Code secs. 542.501(1) and 544.004(a)(1).)

A pedestrian is crossing your street in a marked crosswalk where there is no traffic signal. Who yields?
✓ Correct answer: You do; drivers stop and yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk where no signal controls the crossing
An unsignalised crosswalk is the pedestrian's ground when they're on your half of the road or approaching so closely from the other half as to be in danger. You stop and yield and let them cross. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 552.003(a).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 552.003(a), checked 2026-11-03.
Reading a long text, without replying, while driving at 40 mph: inside or outside the texting offence?
✓ Correct answer: Inside; reading an electronic message while driving is banned alongside writing and sending
The three verbs in the section are read, write, and send. Reading is the one drivers talk themselves out of, and it takes the eyes off the road for the same seconds as typing. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.4251(b).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.4251(b), checked 2026-11-03.
