Texas practice test, crashes and duties
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.
What a collision obliges you to do, from chapter 550: stop, give the information the section names, render aid under section 550.023, and report where the law requires one. Texas sections say collision, and so do these questions. The set is short and exact, because after a crash is the worst moment to be working from a half-remembered rule.
Each topic set draws up to 20 questions from that topic in the Texas bank and grades against our practice target of 80 percent. That target is our study goal. DPS publishes no pass mark for the Class C test, and none is implied here.

Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
After stopping at an injury crash, what must you give and do?
✓ Correct answer: Give your name, address, vehicle registration number, and the name of your liability insurer, show your licence on request if it is available, and give reasonable help to anyone injured, including getting them to treatment
The duties list is practical: identity, registration, insurance, licence, and aid. Accepting fault is not on it, and the list does not wait for the police to begin. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.023(1) to (3).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.023(1) to (3), checked 2026-11-03.
Your note after hitting a parked car says sorry and gives a first name only. What is missing in law?
✓ Correct answer: The required content: the name and address of the operator, the name and address of the owner of the vehicle that struck it, and a statement of the circumstances of the crash
The note is a legal document in miniature, and subsection (a)(2) spells out its parts. Sorry is welcome; it isn't one of the parts the section lists. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.024(a)(2).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.024(a)(2), checked 2026-11-03.
Traffic carries you past the spot where your car struck another vehicle, and you cannot stop at the scene itself. Once you can stop, what does the damage-only section require of you?
✓ Correct answer: Return to the scene at once and stay there until the information duties are met
The damage-only section is written in three steps: stop at once at the scene or as close as possible without blocking traffic more than needed, return at once if the vehicle was not stopped at the scene, and remain until the information duties are met. Being carried past the scene by traffic changes the route, not the duty. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.022(a).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.022(a), checked 2026-11-03.
Which information set matches the duties after a crash?
✓ Correct answer: Name, address, vehicle registration number, and the name of your liability insurer, plus your licence on request if it is available
The list is built for what happens next: claims and reports need the insurer and the registration, not a phone number that may change. The licence part carries a qualifier the other parts don't, so it is shown on request only if it is available. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.023(1) and (2).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 550.023(1) and (2), checked 2026-11-03.
After a minor crash you drive two miles to a safe parking lot before stopping, because the road had no shoulder. Have you met the stop duty?
✓ Correct answer: The duty is to stop at the scene or as close to it as possible and return at once if you did not; driving on for two miles risks breaching it, and the safe course is the nearest safe stop, not a chosen one
The text gives a little room, as close as possible, and takes it back with return immediately. A nearer wide driveway beats a favourite lot two miles on, and the gap is where leaving-the-scene claims grow. (Texas Transportation Code secs. 550.021(a) and 550.022(a).)
