Indiana DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: A criminal offense that immediately affects your driving privilege

Operating a vehicle while intoxicated or with a BAC over the legal limit of .08 is a criminal offense and has an immediate effect on your privilege to operate a vehicle.

Correct answer: In the vehicle’s front passenger seat

A learner’s-permit holder may practice only when accompanied by a qualifying licensed driver who is seated in the vehicle’s front passenger seat, where they can help supervise and respond.

Correct answer: A four-point credit, allowed once in a three-year period

Any Indiana driver may complete a BMV-approved DSP course and receive a four-point credit. Each driver is allowed one four-point credit during a three-year period.

Correct answer: Change lanes away from the emergency vehicle

Indiana’s Move Over law (IC 9-21-8-35) requires motorists approaching an emergency vehicle with alternately flashing red, red-and-white, or red-and-blue lights to change lanes away from the authorized vehicle.

Correct answer: Your speed increases on a wet road

Hydroplaning increases with speed. Slow down when there is heavy rain, standing water, or slush, and do not drive on bald or badly worn tires.

Correct answer: The width of a full lane

Always allow a motorcycle or motor driven cycle the width of a full lane. Riders may need the full lane to maneuver safely and avoid hazards you cannot see.

Correct answer: You have the right of way and may turn in the direction of the arrow if the intersection is clear

Facing a green arrow displayed with a red or green light, you have the right of way and may turn through the intersection in the direction of the arrow, as long as the intersection is clear.

Correct answer: Nearby recreational and cultural interest sites, such as a state park

Brown traffic signs indicate nearby recreational and cultural interest sites. A sign pointing to a nearby state park is an example of a brown-background sign.

Correct answer: 55 miles per hour or the posted speed limit

In urban areas (population of at least 50,000), vehicles on an urban interstate highway may not exceed 55 mph or the posted speed limit.

Correct answer: The left side

Move into the passing lane on the left, accelerate, and continue until you can see the vehicle you passed in your rearview mirror before returning to your lane.

Correct answer: Tests the driver’s blood alcohol level before the car can be started

The court may require the installation of an ignition interlock device, which mechanically tests the driver’s blood alcohol level before the car can be started.

Correct answer: At least 25 years of age

An adult practicing with a learner’s permit must be accompanied by a licensed driver with valid driving privileges who is at least 25 years of age, or by their spouse if the spouse is licensed and at least 21.

Correct answer: Your driving privileges are suspended until you complete the course

Failure to complete a required DSP course within 90 days of the BMV’s mailed notice results in suspension of your driving privileges until you complete the course and the BMV processes it.

Correct answer: Reduce your speed to 10 mph under the posted limit and proceed with caution

If you cannot move over, you must reduce your speed to 10 mph under the posted speed limit and proceed with caution.

Correct answer: Test your brakes by pumping them to help dry them

After driving through water puddles, test your brakes by pumping them — doing so helps dry them. If the water is deeper than your tire treads, slow down.

Correct answer: Three or four seconds

Allow at least three or four seconds when following a motorcycle, so the rider has enough time and room to maneuver or stop in an emergency.

Correct answer: You may turn only after yielding the right of way to pedestrians and oncoming traffic

A flashing yellow arrow means you may proceed with the turn only after you have yielded the right of way to pedestrians and oncoming traffic.

Correct answer: You must stop and yield the right of way at an intersection

Eight-sided signs warn drivers that they must stop and yield the appropriate right of way at an intersection. The octagon shape is reserved for the STOP sign.

Correct answer: 55 miles per hour or the posted speed limit

On a non-divided state highway in an urban area, vehicles may not exceed 55 mph or the posted speed limit — the same cap that applies on urban interstates and county roads.

Correct answer: An intersection, railroad crossing, bridge, viaduct, or tunnel

Passing is dangerous and illegal within 100 feet of an intersection, railroad crossing, bridge, viaduct, or tunnel, where you cannot safely see or complete the maneuver.

Correct answer: Issue an order for specialized driving privileges

If the motorist is eligible, the court may issue an order for specialized driving privileges, and may also require an ignition interlock device.

Correct answer: Indiana law, defensive driving practices, and this driver’s manual

The knowledge exam is a multiple-choice test based on Indiana law, defensive driving practices, and the information contained in the driver’s manual, including the ability to read regulatory, warning, and traffic signs and signals.

Correct answer: 25/50/25

The state minimum is $25,000 for injury or death of one person, $50,000 for injury or death of two or more people in one accident, and $25,000 for property damage — 25/50/25.

Correct answer: A Class A Infraction

Failure to comply with the Move Over law when approaching an emergency vehicle displaying flashing lights is a Class A Infraction in Indiana.

Correct answer: Low headlight beams

In fog, do not use high beams — they reflect back and reduce visibility. Low beams better illuminate the road, and you should drive cautiously at reduced speed.

Correct answer: Easily hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot or missed in a quick glance

A motorcycle’s smaller profile makes its speed and distance hard to judge and lets it hide in a blind spot. Always check your mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes or at intersections.

Correct answer: Come to a full stop, check for vehicles and pedestrians, confirm there is no “No Turn on Red” sign, and use the correct lane

To turn right on a red light when permissible, you must come to a full stop, check that no vehicles or pedestrians are in or about to enter your path, confirm there is no “No Turn on Red” sign, and use the correct lane.

Correct answer: Slow down approaching an intersection and be prepared to stop to yield

Equilateral-triangle signs warn drivers to slow down when approaching an intersection and be prepared to come to a complete stop in order to yield to other drivers or pedestrians — this is the YIELD sign.

Correct answer: 55 miles per hour or the posted speed limit

On county roads, vehicles may not exceed 55 mph or the posted speed limit.

Correct answer: Driving on or approaching a curve or the crest of a hill

You may not pass when driving on or approaching a curve, or when approaching the crest of a hill or grade, because you cannot see oncoming traffic.

Correct answer: Longer than for a first offense

A court may suspend driving privileges following an OWI conviction, and the suspension periods may be longer for repeat offenders.

Correct answer: The next business day

If you fail the knowledge exam, you must wait until the next business day to retake it. You must also arrive at the branch at least 30 minutes before it closes to take the computer-based exam that day.

Correct answer: $25,000

The third number in 25/50/25 is $25,000 for property damages in any one accident. The first two are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury or death.

Correct answer: Amber flashing lights (tow trucks, highway maintenance, utility, solid-waste, and survey/construction vehicles)

Motorists approaching an authorized parked vehicle with amber flashing lights — such as tow/recovery, highway maintenance, utility, solid-waste, and survey/construction vehicles — must change lanes away or, if they cannot, slow to 10 mph under the limit.

Correct answer: Carefully pull off the road as far as possible and stop

If fog closes in completely and visibility is reduced to near zero, carefully pull off the road as far as possible and stop. Use headlights and flashing emergency signals.

Correct answer: Wait to be sure the rider actually turns before you proceed

Motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling, and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Do not assume a turn is coming — wait to be sure the rider takes action before you proceed.

Correct answer: You are turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street (after a full stop)

You may turn left on a red light only when turning from a one-way street onto a one-way street. You must still come to a full stop, check for vehicles and pedestrians, confirm there is no “No Turn on Red” sign, and use the correct lanes.

Correct answer: Not to pass other vehicles

Pennant-shaped signs are posted on the left-hand side of two-way roads to warn drivers not to pass other vehicles — this is the “No Passing Zone” sign.

Correct answer: 30 miles per hour or the posted speed limit

In most urban residential areas, vehicles may not exceed 30 mph or the posted speed limit.

Correct answer: You are entering a no-passing zone

A yellow, pennant-shaped "No Passing Zone" sign posted on the left, or a white rectangular "Do Not Pass" sign on the right, marks where passing is prohibited.
