Texas car practice set 3, 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.
The third set reaches the penalty and duty corners: DWI in a school crossing zone as a state jail felony since September 2025, the towing power after unlicensed or uninsured driving, sidewalk users in crosswalks, and what you owe after a collision, where Texas law says collision and means it. Twenty-five questions, our practice target, and a citation on every answer so you can read the rule yourself in the code.

25 questions, drawn from the full bank, graded against our practice target of 60 percent. DPS publishes no question count and no pass mark for the real test, and no time limit, so the count here is our set size and the timer is a study device. There's no signup and nothing to pay.

The corners are testable too.
Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
What is the legal problem with following the car ahead at a gap you could not stop within if it braked suddenly?
✓ Correct answer: You failed the assured clear distance duty: the gap must let you stop without a collision or a swerve into others
The duty is about the gap itself, measured by what it lets you do. A gap that cannot absorb a sudden stop is too small, whatever brand of brakes you own. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.062(a).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.062(a), checked 2026-11-03.
You stop at a stop sign and a car on the cross street stops too, waving you on, while a second cross car approaches fast from the other side. What governs your entry?
✓ Correct answer: Your own yield duty: enter only when the intersection and its approaches are safe, whatever the first driver offered
After stopping at a stop sign, you yield to a vehicle that has entered the intersection from another highway or is approaching so closely as to be an immediate hazard. Another driver's wave doesn't lift that duty, and it can't control the second car. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.153(b).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.153(b), checked 2026-11-03.
A pedestrian steps off the kerb directly into the path of your car, so close that you cannot yield in time. What does the pedestrian chapter say about that move?
✓ Correct answer: No pedestrian may suddenly leave a kerb or place of safety into the path of a vehicle so close that it's impossible for the driver to stop and yield
The crosswalk right has a fairness clause built in. A pedestrian who suddenly leaves a curb or another place of safety into the path of a vehicle so close that the driver can't stop and yield has broken the rule in this subsection. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 552.003(b).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 552.003(b), checked 2026-11-03.
A school crossing zone's flashing lights are off and school is out for the summer. Does the hand-held phone ban for the zone apply?
✓ Correct answer: The ban is written for an active school crossing zone; an inactive zone is ordinary road for this rule
A school crossing zone is a reduced speed zone for children going to or leaving school during the time the reduced speed limit applies. When that time isn't in effect, the street isn't a school crossing zone for this rule, and the general phone rules are what remain. (Texas Transportation Code secs. 545.425(b) and 541.302(13).)

Your liability policy carries limits of 25/50/20. Does it meet the Texas minimum?
✓ Correct answer: No; it falls short of the 30/60/25 minimum on all three figures
The Texas floor is 30/60/25: $30,000 for one person's injuries, $60,000 for injuries in one crash, and $25,000 for property damage. A 25/50/20 policy sits under the line everywhere, and driving on it is driving short of financial responsibility. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 601.072(a-1).)
