Mississippi DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: 90 days

Refusing the breath or chemical test results in an administrative license suspension of ninety days. Suspension times increase for subsequent refusals that result in a conviction or non-adjudication.

Correct answer: Fifteen years old

You must be at least fifteen years old to apply for a Regular Learner’s Permit.

Correct answer: No closer than 10 feet

You may not leave your vehicle parked within ten feet of a fire hydrant, so firefighters have clear access to it.

Correct answer: Is not an admission of guilt

Your acceptance and signature on a traffic ticket is not an admission of guilt. If you disagree with the officer’s decision, you may contest it later in court rather than arguing at the roadside.

Correct answer: The first vehicle to arrive at the intersection

At a four-way stop the first vehicle to arrive has the right of way. Do not slam on your brakes to "stop first."

Correct answer: Dim your lights and keep your eyes on the right side of the road

If you meet a vehicle at night with bright or blinding headlights, dim your own lights and keep your eyes on the right side of the road until the vehicle passes.

Correct answer: Keep to the far side of your lane and not speed up

When a large vehicle passes you, help the driver by keeping to the far side of your lane. Never speed up while an oversized vehicle is passing you.

Correct answer: Stop your car on it

Never stop your car on any part of a crosswalk. Approach crosswalks with care, and always yield to pedestrians in them — even when the crosswalk is not marked.

Correct answer: At least one car length for every ten miles per hour of speed

Allow at least one car length between you and the vehicle ahead for every ten miles per hour of speed. This gives you room to slow or stop if the vehicle ahead changes speed suddenly.

Correct answer: When a broken yellow line is on your side and the oncoming lane is clear and safe

On a two-way highway you may cross a single broken yellow line to pass when the oncoming lane is clear and it is safe. You may never cross a double yellow line to pass.

Correct answer: 45 days

If you refuse the test, you must surrender your license to the officer immediately. The receipt the officer gives you serves as a temporary permit to drive, valid for only forty-five days.

Correct answer: A licensed driver aged twenty-one or older is occupying the seat next to you

A Learner’s Permit entitles you to drive only when accompanied by a licensed driver aged twenty-one years or older who is physically occupying the seat next to you.

Correct answer: On a sidewalk or crosswalk

You may not park on a sidewalk, on a crosswalk, inside an intersection, or in front of a public or private driveway, among other prohibited places.

Correct answer: Your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration

You must have your valid driver’s license while driving, and an officer will typically ask for your license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration during a stop.

Correct answer: The vehicle on the right

If multiple vehicles arrive at a four-way stop at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right of way. Yield to the driver on your right.

Correct answer: 500 feet

You must use your low beams when you approach within five hundred feet of an oncoming vehicle, or when following within five hundred feet of another vehicle, so you do not blind other drivers.

Correct answer: Keep as far to the right as possible

When you meet a large vehicle coming toward you, keep as far to the right as possible to avoid a sideswipe and reduce wind turbulence. Wind turbulence pushes vehicles apart; it does not pull them together.

Correct answer: An octagon (eight sides)

The octagon is used exclusively for STOP signs. It is the only sign with eight sides and requires a complete stop before entering the intersection.

Correct answer: Four car lengths

Using one car length per ten miles per hour, at 40 mph you should leave at least four car lengths behind the vehicle ahead.

Correct answer: No — it is never legal to move across the center line of a four-lane highway to pass

It is never legal to move across the center line of a four-lane highway to pass. On interstates and four-lane highways, passing is allowed from lanes traveling in the same direction that are divided by a broken white line.

Correct answer: An additional 90-day license suspension

If you are convicted of a first-offense DUI (or first-offense Zero Tolerance DUI) and you refused the breath or chemical test, a 90-day license suspension is added to the original penalty.

Correct answer: Two years

The Regular Learner’s Permit is valid for two years. Your Computerized Exam score is also valid for two years.

Correct answer: 15 feet

Parking is prohibited within fifteen feet of the nearest rail of any railroad crossing, keeping the crossing clear for trains and other traffic.

Correct answer: Certificate of Title

Every vehicle must have a Certificate of Title. If you bring a vehicle into Mississippi, present your out-of-state title to apply and obtain a Mississippi tag within thirty days.

Correct answer: The vehicle turning across the traffic lane must yield to the one going straight

At a two-way stop, if two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle intending to travel straight across has the right of way. The vehicle intending to turn across the traffic lane must yield and wait.

Correct answer: Between sunset and sunrise and any time you cannot see clearly 500 feet ahead

Use your headlights between sunset and sunrise and any other time you cannot see clearly ahead for 500 feet. Do not drive with only your parking lights on — if you need lights, use your headlights.

Correct answer: Leave extra space in case it drifts backward when it starts to move

If you are stopped behind a large vehicle on an upgrade, leave additional space in case the vehicle drifts backward slightly when it starts to move. Keep to the left in your lane so the driver can see you.

Correct answer: The YIELD sign

The downward-pointing equilateral triangle is used exclusively for YIELD signs. It means you must let other vehicles on the roadway have the right of way.

Correct answer: Rear-end collisions

Following too closely is dangerous and is the main cause of rear-end collisions. Keeping distance also lets you see around the vehicle ahead.

Correct answer: When the vehicle ahead is making or about to make a left turn

You may pass on the right when the vehicle you are passing is making or about to make a left turn, on an interstate with multiple lanes in your direction, on a wide four-lane highway with no obstructions, or on a one-way highway of adequate width. You may never drive off the pavement or on the shoulder to pass.
