Arizona DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: 0.08 percent or more

A BAC of 0.08 percent or more is over the legal limit (0.04 in a commercial vehicle). At or above that level you will lose your driving privilege on the spot.

Correct answer: At least 16 but less than 18 years of age

A graduated driver license is issued to an applicant who is at least 16 but less than 18 years old. It is valid to operate any vehicle that does not require a motorcycle or commercial license.

Correct answer: 50 feet

You may not park within 50 feet of a railroad crossing, where a parked vehicle could block the view of the tracks.

Correct answer: Hold the steering wheel tightly, keep going straight, and ease off the gas

In a blowout, hold the wheel tightly and keep the vehicle going straight. Ease off the gas pedal — do not brake — and let the vehicle slow down before pulling off.

Correct answer: Vehicles already in the roundabout

Vehicles approaching a roundabout must yield to all vehicles already in the roundabout. Vehicles in the roundabout have the right-of-way.

Correct answer: As soon as possible — not after visibility has already dropped to near zero

Pull off as soon as possible. Dust storms can cut visibility to zero, and waiting until you cannot see makes it far more dangerous to leave the roadway safely.

Correct answer: 3 feet

Motorists must allow a minimum safe distance of 3 feet when passing a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. When sharing a lane with a bicycle, keep at least 3 feet of clearance.

Correct answer: Slow down and turn with caution, yielding to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians

A flashing yellow arrow means you may turn but must slow down and turn with caution — yield the right-of-way to any oncoming vehicle or pedestrian before making your turn.

Correct answer: The “3-6 second” rule

Use the “3-6 second” rule to judge your following distance. Watch the vehicle ahead pass a fixed point, then count the seconds until you reach the same point.

Correct answer: On the left

When you want to pass a vehicle or motorcycle traveling in the same direction, pass on the left. Signal before you change lanes.

Correct answer: Lose your driving privilege on the spot

A test result of 0.08 percent or more (0.04 in a commercial vehicle) means you lose your driving privilege on the spot.

Correct answer: Between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

For the first 6 months, a Class G driver shall not drive between midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless a parent or guardian with a valid Class A, B, C or D license is in the front passenger seat, or the driver is going directly to or from a school activity, work, a religious activity or a family emergency.

Correct answer: 20 feet

It is illegal to park on a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, where a parked car would block the view of people crossing.

Correct answer: Pump the brakes rapidly to try to build up pressure

Without anti-lock brakes, pump the brakes rapidly to try to build up enough pressure to stop. If that fails, slowly apply the parking brake. (Do not pump anti-lock brakes.)

Correct answer: To the right of the central island

Always enter a roundabout to the right of the central island, so traffic flows in one direction around it.

Correct answer: Not cross it — turn around and find another route

Do not cross flooded washes. Water can stall your engine, hide potholes, and carry your vehicle downstream. Heavy rain frequently causes flash floods in Arizona washes.

Correct answer: A car turns in front of the motorcycle because the driver did not see it

Most car/motorcycle crashes result from a car turning in front of the motorcycle — the driver did not see it, or misjudged how close and how fast it was. Always look twice for motorcycles.

Correct answer: Stop

The octagon shape is reserved for stop signs. You must come to a complete stop.

Correct answer: Following too closely

Counting to four takes about four seconds. If you pass the same point before you finish counting, you are following too closely and should increase your following distance.

Correct answer: You have time and room to get all the way in front without endangering oncoming vehicles

Make sure you have the time and room to get all the way in front of the vehicle you are passing without creating danger for vehicles coming toward you.

Correct answer: 10 consecutive days

A first standard DUI means jail for not less than 10 consecutive days, a license suspension of at least 90 days, and a fine of at least $1,250, plus screening and community service.

Correct answer: Driving directly to or from a place of employment

The curfew does not apply when you are driving directly to or from a sanctioned school-sponsored activity, your place of employment, a sanctioned religious activity or a family emergency — or when a parent/guardian with a valid license is in the front passenger seat.

Correct answer: In a marked space along a residential street where no signs prohibit it

Parking on a sidewalk, in front of a driveway, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on a bridge, in a tunnel, or where signs prohibit it is all illegal. A marked space with no restrictions is fine.

Correct answer: Ease off the brake and steer in the direction you want the vehicle to go

In a skid, do not brake harder — that makes it worse. Turn the wheel in the direction you want the vehicle to go (the direction of the skid), then straighten out as the car recovers.

Correct answer: 15 to 20 mph

Roundabouts are designed for speeds of 15 to 20 mph. Slow down as you approach and yield until there is a safe gap before entering.

Correct answer: Water can stall the engine, hide potholes, and carry the vehicle downstream

Even shallow-looking water can stall your engine, conceal washed-out pavement and potholes, and float or carry your vehicle downstream. Never gamble on the depth.

Correct answer: Appear farther away and moving slower than it really is

A motorcycle’s small size makes it hard to spot and can make it appear farther away and slower than it actually is. Pay close attention and take extra care when judging its distance and speed.

Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way to cross or merging traffic

The triangle shape requires that you yield the right-of-way to cross traffic or to merging traffic.

Correct answer: Greater

At faster speeds the distance your vehicle travels while you react is greater and your margin for error is less, so your following distance should be greater.

Correct answer: When you can see the vehicle you passed in your rearview mirror

Return to the right lane only when you can see the entire front — or both headlights — of the vehicle you passed in your rearview mirror. Look over your shoulder, signal, then move back over.
