Texas practice test, speed
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.
Texas speed law is two rules wearing one coat: the basic rule, a speed reasonable and prudent for the conditions, and the prima facie limits that stand until a sign replaces them, 30 in an urban district, 70 on a numbered highway outside one, 15 in an alley. This set keeps the two apart and tests each on its own terms, then closes with racing on a highway and what it costs.
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
The Texas Transportation Commission posts a 60 mph limit on a numbered highway where the prima facie figure is 70. A driver does 68, arguing the code’s 70 protects them. Who is right?
✓ Correct answer: The commission; a lawfully posted limit replaces the prima facie figure
Prima facie limits fill silence; they don't override signs. A limit the commission declares takes effect when signs give notice of it, so 68 breaks the posted 60 on that road. (Texas Transportation Code secs. 545.352(b)(2) and 545.353(c).)

A delivery driver slows to 25 mph in a 55 mph zone to read house numbers, with traffic stacking up behind and no safety reason for the speed. Which rule is in play?
✓ Correct answer: The minimum speed rule: a driver may not drive so slowly as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or to comply with law
Slow can be an offence too. Subsection (a) bars driving so slowly that you impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when a reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or to comply with law, and reading house numbers is neither. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.363(a).)
