Delaware DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: .08 or greater

In Delaware a BAC of .08 or greater, or the presence of any illicit or recreational drug, is conclusive evidence that a driver is under the influence.

Correct answer: At least 25 years old and have held a Class D license for at least 5 years

The supervising driver must be a properly licensed parent, guardian, or approved driver who is at least 25 and has held a Class D license for at least 5 years. They must sit beside the permit holder in the front seat, and no one else may sit in the front.

Correct answer: Toward the edge of the highway

When headed uphill and there is no curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the highway, so the vehicle will roll off the road rather than into traffic if it moves.

Correct answer: Half value

Calculated points count at full value for the first 12 months from the date of violation and half value for the second 12 months, over a 24-month period.

Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way, stopping if necessary

You must yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian within a crosswalk, stopping if necessary. Not all crosswalks are marked, so stay alert for pedestrians at intersections.

Correct answer: Stop to rest or switch drivers

Never drive if you are sleepy. Being tired dulls your mind and slows your reactions. It is better to stop and rest, take a break, or switch drivers than to risk falling asleep at the wheel.

Correct answer: Look and look again to be sure you see it and know its speed

Left turns in front of an oncoming motorcyclist account for a large percentage of car/cycle crashes. Look and look again — make sure you see the motorcycle and know its speed before you make a left turn.

Correct answer: Traffic cameras that photograph vehicles running red lights

The Red Light Reinforcement Program uses strategically positioned traffic cameras. Drivers who run red lights are photographed, their tag numbers recorded, and citations are automatically mailed.

Correct answer: You must slow down — you can be ticketed for going too fast for conditions even below the posted limit

Speed limits are posted for ideal conditions. If the road is wet or icy, visibility is poor, or traffic is heavy, you must slow down — you can get a ticket for driving too fast for conditions even when under the posted limit.

Correct answer: On the left, only when at a safe distance, returning to the right when safely clear

Delaware law states that vehicles shall overtake other vehicles on the left only when at a safe distance, and shall return to the right only when safely clear.

Correct answer: Yes — a driver can be charged even with a BAC under .08

A driver can be charged with driving under the influence even if the BAC is under .08. Impairment begins before a person reaches the legal limit.

Correct answer: 50 hours of driving, 10 of which are at night

For the first six months the permit holder must be supervised at all times, and the sponsor must certify that the permit holder has driven 50 hours, 10 of which include night-time driving. The certification is turned in to the Department of Education after the first six months.

Correct answer: Displays a handicapped license plate or a handicapped parking ID card on the rearview mirror

It is illegal to park in a handicapped parking space unless your vehicle has a handicapped license plate on the rear or a handicapped parking ID card displayed hanging from the rearview mirror.

Correct answer: The DMV sends the driver an advisory letter

At 8 calculated points, the Division of Motor Vehicles sends the driver an advisory letter — the first step in the Driver Improvement Problem Driver Program action ladder.

Correct answer: They have absolute right-of-way, and you should not use your horn

Pedestrians using a guide dog or carrying a white cane have absolute right-of-way. Do not use your horn, as it could confuse or frighten the blind pedestrian.

Correct answer: Give yourself time to cool off before getting on the road

Emotions have a great effect on safe driving. If you are angry or excited, give yourself time to cool off — take a short walk if necessary — and stay off the road until you have calmed down.

Correct answer: Turn signals do not self-cancel on most motorcycles, so the rider may have forgotten to turn it off

Turn signals are not automatically self-canceling on most motorcycles, so a rider may forget to turn one off. Be sure the rider is actually turning before you move into their path.

Correct answer: A full stop is required; you may not proceed in the direction of the arrow

A steady red arrow requires a full stop — you may not proceed in the direction the arrow points until it changes.

Correct answer: Driving so slowly that you impede the normal and reasonable flow of traffic

You must not drive at such a slow speed that you impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when necessary for safety or to comply with the law. You must also obey posted minimum speed limits unless conditions make it unsafe.

Correct answer: At least three feet at all times

When passing a cyclist, the law requires motorists to leave a minimum of three feet of clearance at all times, and on multi-lane roads to move to the adjacent lane whenever possible.

Correct answer: Consented to a chemical test of breath, blood, or urine if arrested for DUI

Anyone arrested for driving under the influence is deemed to have given consent to a chemical test of breath, blood, or urine to determine the alcohol content of their blood.

Correct answer: Between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

After the first six months the permit holder may drive unsupervised between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. they may drive only with supervision — except when going directly to and from church, work, or school activities.

Correct answer: Turn on your parking lights (or four-way flashers if equipped)

When you park on the shoulder or side of any highway from sunset to sunrise, or when light is insufficient to see 1000 feet away, you must turn on your parking lights or four-way flashers. Turn signals must not be flashed on one side only of a parked vehicle.

Correct answer: A mandatory 2-month suspension

At 12 points the driver must complete a behavior-modification course within 90 days of notification. Failure to comply, or upon the driver’s preference, results in a mandatory 2-month suspension.

Correct answer: Pass the stopped vehicle

You must not pass a vehicle that has stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the highway. The pedestrian may be hidden by the stopped vehicle.

Correct answer: Always wear them when you drive

If your license says you must wear corrective lenses, always wear them when you drive, even for a short trip. It is also wise to keep an extra pair of glasses in your vehicle.

Correct answer: Never drive alongside a motorcycle in the same lane

Motorcycles are entitled to the same full lane width as other vehicles. Never move into the same lane alongside a motorcycle, even if the lane is wide — it is both illegal and extremely hazardous.

Correct answer: You may move in the arrow’s direction after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians

A flashing yellow arrow permits movement in the indicated direction after yielding to opposing traffic and pedestrians. It is not a protected turn.

Correct answer: Speed-limit signs have black numerals on a white rectangle; advisory signs are black on yellow

Speed-limit signs have black letters and numerals on a white rectangular background and are the legal limit. Advisory speed signs have black letters on a yellow background, often under a warning sign, and recommend a safe speed for conditions.

Correct answer: Give way to the right and not increase your speed until fully overtaken

A vehicle being overtaken must give way to the right and must not increase its speed until it has been fully overtaken.

Correct answer: One to two years, depending on your record

On refusal, the arresting officer reports the refusal to the DMV, which may revoke the person’s license for one to two years depending on the number of previous DUI or test-refusal offenses.

Correct answer: No — they may not use a cell phone, texting device, or similar electronic device

A Level One Learner’s Permit holder must not operate a motor vehicle while using a cellular telephone, text-messaging device, or similar electronic device — the prohibition is total for permit holders.
