Arkansas DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: None — there is no safe alcohol concentration to operate a vehicle

There is no safe alcohol concentration for operating a vehicle. Every driver is affected by alcohol, so you should never drink and drive.

Correct answer: Two years from the date of the passed knowledge exam

The instruction permit is issued for two years from the date of the passed knowledge exam. It cannot be renewed or extended for any reason.

Correct answer: Sharply away from traffic, to keep the car from rolling into traffic

When parking on a hill, turn the wheels sharply away from traffic to prevent the car from rolling into traffic if it moves. Also set the parking brake.

Correct answer: $1,000 and up to 8 hours of community service

Upon a first conviction, littering carries a fine of up to $1,000 and not more than 8 hours of community service. Subsequent convictions carry higher fines and more community service.

Correct answer: Vehicles approaching from your right

At an uncontrolled intersection — no stop sign or signal — drivers must yield to vehicles approaching from the right.

Correct answer: Any activity that takes your attention away from driving

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving — texting, eating, adjusting the stereo, or anything that takes your attention away from safe driving.

Correct answer: Pass completely and on the left side, without lingering alongside it

Always pass a tractor-trailer completely and on the left side. Lingering alongside puts you in a blind spot and makes it impossible for the truck driver to react to a hazard ahead.

Correct answer: You may not turn in the direction of the arrow

A steady red arrow means stop — you may not turn in the direction of the arrow. Drivers turning left must stop.

Correct answer: Keep your speed down

Most tires have good traction up to about 35 mph on wet roads, but in heavy rain tires can lose all traction at 50 mph. The best way to keep from hydroplaning is to keep your speed down. Worn tires make it worse.

Correct answer: Making left turns — it may not be used as an acceleration lane

A shared center lane is reserved for making left turns and can be used by vehicles traveling in either direction. It may not be used as an acceleration lane.

Correct answer: 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor (one shot)

A single drink is considered 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor (one shot), a 6-ounce glass of wine, or a 12-ounce beer. Specialty drinks may equal several normal drinks.

Correct answer: A licensed driver 21 or older occupying the seat beside the driver

An instruction-permit holder may drive only with a licensed driver at least 21 years old seated beside them, and all passengers must wear seat belts.

Correct answer: Look for vehicles and pedestrians through your mirrors and by turning to look

When backing from a parking space, always look for vehicles and pedestrians by checking your mirrors and by turning your body to look directly behind you.

Correct answer: Pull over to the right edge of the road, or as near to the right as possible

Arkansas law requires motorists to pull over to the right edge of the road, or as near to the right as possible, for emergency vehicles using a siren and a red or blue flashing light.

Correct answer: The vehicle that arrived and stopped first

At intersections with stop signs at all corners, you must yield to the vehicle that arrived first. The driver reaching the intersection first goes first, after making a complete stop.

Correct answer: 5 seconds

Reading or sending a text takes your eyes off the road for about 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that is like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.

Correct answer: Underestimate how close and how fast the truck is approaching

Because of a truck’s large size, it can appear to be moving slower than it really is. Many car-truck collisions occur at intersections when a driver misjudges how close or how fast the truck is approaching.

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop, check for opposing traffic, and watch for pedestrians

Under the Right on Red rule, you must make a complete stop and check for opposing traffic before turning right, and always look for pedestrians in or about the crosswalk. You may turn right on red unless a sign prohibits it.

Correct answer: 50 mph

You need to be able to stop within the distance you can see ahead. Since headlights let you see about 400 feet, you should drive at a speed that allows you to stop within that distance — around 50 mph.

Correct answer: Continue to a safe turnaround area — never back up in a travel lane

Never back a vehicle in any travel lane — it is illegal and unsafe. If you miss your turn or exit, proceed to a safe turnaround area.

Correct answer: Slow how fast alcohol enters your blood, but not prevent intoxication

Food slows the rate at which alcohol enters the blood, but it will not prevent you from getting intoxicated. Only time will sober you up.

Correct answer: Not renewed or extended for any reason — you must qualify again

Permits cannot be extended for any reason. If the two-year permit expires before you complete the skills test, you must re-qualify.

Correct answer: 15 feet

Do not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Blocking a hydrant could delay firefighters in an emergency.

Correct answer: Drive through the intersection first, then pull over to the right

If you are in an intersection when you hear a siren or see flashing lights, go ahead and drive through the intersection before pulling over to the right.

Correct answer: Yield to vehicles already traveling on the main road

Drivers entering a road from a driveway, alley, or roadside must yield to vehicles already on the main road.
