Massachusetts DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: 0.02

Massachusetts has a "zero-tolerance" law for drivers under 21. Any driver under 21 caught with a BAC of 0.02 or higher while driving will face penalties and lose their license.

Correct answer: Up to two years

A learner’s permit is valid for up to two years. If your learner’s permit expires, you must re-take the learner’s permit exam and pay the required fees.

Correct answer: Inward, toward the edge of the road

With no curb, turn your wheels inward, toward the edge of the road. If the brakes fail, the vehicle will roll away from traffic instead of into it.

Correct answer: Stop your vehicle — leaving the scene is against the law

When you are involved in a crash, even a small one, you must stop your vehicle. Never leave the scene of a crash — you could be charged with a "hit and run" violation.

Correct answer: Counter-clockwise

Traffic travels counter-clockwise in a rotary. There are yield signs at the entrance, and a central island forces traffic to travel around it.

Correct answer: In hands-free mode, mounted and not held

Drivers 18 and older can only use mobile electronic devices in hands-free mode. The device cannot be held; it must be mounted and operated without interfering with driving.

Correct answer: You have safely passed the bicycle

When passing a bicycle on your right, you must not return to the right until you have safely passed it, and you must stay at least four feet away while passing.

Correct answer: The pedestrian already in the crosswalk has the right-of-way

Some crosswalk signals include a numeric countdown timer. Pedestrians who are already in the crosswalk when the countdown reaches zero have the right-of-way.

Correct answer: You must never travel so fast that it is not safe, even if the posted limit is higher

The fundamental speed law is that you must never travel so fast that it is not safe. Your speed must account for traffic, road, weather, and visibility conditions, and for pedestrians and bicyclists, even if the posted limit is higher.

Correct answer: The right lane, unless passing, turning left, or the right lane is blocked

On roadways with two or more lanes in your travel direction, use the right lane for driving unless you are passing another vehicle, making a left turn, or the right lane is blocked.

Correct answer: Has agreed to submit to a breath or blood test in certain cases when suspected of OUI

Massachusetts has an Implied Consent Law. Every licensed driver has agreed to consent to a breathalyzer or blood test in certain cases. If an officer believes you are driving under the influence, they may ask you to submit to testing after arrest.

Correct answer: $30

You must pay a $30 learner’s permit exam fee, which covers the cost of your exam. This is one of the required steps to earn your learner’s permit.

Correct answer: Outward, toward the travel lane, so the tires will roll back against the curb

Uphill against a curb, turn your wheels outward (toward the travel lane). If the vehicle rolls, the back of the front tire catches the curb and stops it.

Correct answer: Vehicles be moved out of the travel lanes to a safe location

If there are no injuries, the Driver Removal Law requires that vehicles be moved out of travel lanes to a safe location. Then exchange your name, address, license number, registration, and insurance information with the other drivers.

Correct answer: Vehicles already in the rotary and pedestrians

Always yield the right-of-way to vehicles already in the rotary (unless told otherwise by signs or a police officer) and to pedestrians. There are yield signs at every rotary entrance.

Correct answer: Not at all, except to report an emergency

Drivers under 18 cannot use any mobile electronic device for any reason while driving. The only exception is to report an emergency.

Correct answer: Opening the door with your far hand, which turns your body so you can see approaching bicyclists

The "Dutch Reach" means opening the door with your far hand. This forces your body to turn so you can better see approaching bicyclists and keeps the door from swinging open too fast. Drivers can be fined up to $100 for dooring a cyclist.

Correct answer: Stop or prohibition

On traffic signs, RED means stop or prohibition. Yellow means general warning, and blue indicates motorist services such as gas, food, and lodging.

Correct answer: 30 mph

Unless posted otherwise, your speed would not be reasonable and proper if you drive over 30 mph in a thickly settled or business district (unless signs show a 25 mph limit).

Correct answer: No, it is illegal and dangerous

Never change lanes in the middle of an intersection. It is both illegal and dangerous.

Correct answer: 180 days

A driver over 21 with no prior OUI offenses who refuses a chemical test faces a 180-day license suspension. A chemical-test refusal does not count as a prior OUI offense.

Correct answer: 25 questions; you must answer 18 correctly

Each learner’s permit exam has 25 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you must answer 18 questions correctly within the allotted time of 25 minutes.

Correct answer: Inward, toward the curb

Downhill against a curb, turn your wheels inward, toward the curb, so the vehicle rolls into the curb rather than downhill into traffic if the brake fails.

Correct answer: Five days, for any crash causing injury, death, or $1,000 or more in property damage

Within five days of a crash you must file a crash report with both the RMV and the local police department if the crash caused injury or death or $1,000 or more of property damage. Reporting only to your insurance company is not enough.

Correct answer: Enter from the right lane and exit onto the right lane of the road you want

If the rotary has a single lane, you must enter from the right lane of the road you are coming from and exit onto the right lane of the road you intend to travel on.
