Missouri DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: Up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $500

For a first conviction of DWI or driving with a BAC of 0.08% or more, you may spend up to six months in jail and pay a fine of up to $500, along with a 90-day license suspension.

Correct answer: All first-time drivers under 18 years old

The GDL law requires all first-time drivers under 18 to obtain an instruction permit, complete a period of supervised driving, and then hold an intermediate (restricted) license before getting a full license.

Correct answer: In an intersection

Never park in an intersection. Check for signs and colored curb markings that prohibit or limit parking, and never block the normal flow of traffic.

Correct answer: Submit proof of insurance (SR-22) and pay a $20 reinstatement fee

For a non-alcohol-related point suspension or revocation, reinstatement requires submitting proof of insurance (SR-22) and paying a $20 reinstatement fee. When reinstated, the Department reduces your total points to four.

Correct answer: Traffic already in the circle, bicyclists, and pedestrians in the crosswalks

Always yield to traffic already in the roundabout, as well as bicyclists and pedestrians in the crosswalks. Wait for a gap in traffic before entering and merging with the flow of vehicles.

Correct answer: The operator and front-seat occupants

Missouri law requires the operator and front-seat occupants of passenger vehicles to wear a properly fastened seat belt. However, ALL passengers accompanying an intermediate-license holder must be properly restrained.

Correct answer: Swing out to the left

Large trucks may swing out to the left as the first step in making a right turn. When following a tractor-trailer, watch its turn signals before trying to pass.

Correct answer: Turn in the direction of the arrow after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians

A flashing yellow arrow means you may turn in the direction it points, but you must first wait for an adequate gap in oncoming traffic and yield to pedestrians. A green arrow, by contrast, is a protected turn.

Correct answer: 70 mph

The maximum speed on rural interstates and freeways is 70 mph unless posted otherwise. Lower speeds are posted on some interstates for safety, usually in urban areas.

Correct answer: When the vehicle you are overtaking is making or about to make a left turn

You may pass on the right when the other vehicle is making or about to make a left turn, on a one-way street, or on roads with two or more marked lanes in your direction. You may never pass by driving off the paved portion of the roadway.

Correct answer: 90 days

A first BAC/DWI conviction carries a 90-day license suspension. You may be eligible for a 90-day or 60-day Restricted Driving Privilege during that time.

Correct answer: Only when accompanied in the front seat by a qualified licensed adult, such as a parent or a person at least 25 who has been licensed three years

Under age 16, an instruction-permit holder may drive only when accompanied in the front seat by a parent, stepparent, grandparent, legal guardian, qualified driving instructor, or a person at least 25 years old who has been licensed at least three years and has written permission from the parent or guardian.

Correct answer: On a crosswalk or sidewalk

Do not park on a crosswalk or sidewalk. Parking there blocks people on foot and forces them into traffic to get around your vehicle.

Correct answer: Revoked for one year after you are convicted

Driving while suspended can lead to a one-year revocation upon conviction. Continuing to drive while revoked may be a felony, with your license revoked again for one year.

Correct answer: Make a slight right turn and travel counterclockwise, staying to the right of the center island

At a roundabout you make a slight right turn to go counterclockwise around the center island. NEVER make a left turn to enter a roundabout, and always stay to the right of the center island.

Correct answer: A child passenger restraint system appropriate for that child

Children less than four years old, regardless of weight, must be secured in an appropriate child passenger restraint system. Children weighing less than 40 pounds must also be in a child restraint, regardless of age.

Correct answer: A much greater distance to come to a complete stop

Tractor-trailers take longer to stop than cars traveling at the same speed. A car at 55 mph can stop in about 130–140 feet, while a fully loaded tractor-trailer may take almost 400 feet.

Correct answer: Stop

The octagon shape is used only for stop signs. When you see it, you must come to a full stop and wait until crossing vehicles and pedestrians have cleared before proceeding.

Correct answer: 65 mph

Rural expressways carry a 65 mph maximum unless posted otherwise. Rural interstates and freeways are 70 mph, and interstates within urbanized areas are 60 mph.

Correct answer: Off the paved or main traveled portion of the roadway (the shoulder)

In no event may a pass on the right be made by driving off the paved or main traveled portion of the roadway. Other drivers do not expect a vehicle on the shoulder and may pull off the road without looking.

Correct answer: Spend two to seven years in jail, pay a $5,000 fine, and lose your license for five years

If you injure or kill someone because you were driving impaired, you may spend two to seven years in jail, pay a $5,000 fine, and lose your driver license for five years.

Correct answer: At least six months (182 days), beginning the day after issuance

You must hold the instruction permit for a minimum of six months (182 days), beginning the day after it is issued, before you can graduate to an intermediate license. This period cannot include certain alcohol-related or traffic convictions.

Correct answer: Across a driveway entrance

Do not park across a driveway entrance. Blocking a driveway keeps other vehicles from entering or leaving and can create a hazard.

Correct answer: A crime, even if you only hit a parked vehicle

Leaving the scene of a traffic crash is a crime — even a crash with a parked vehicle. It is also a 12-point violation that brings revocation of your driving privilege.

Correct answer: Do not stop and do not change lanes within the roundabout

Do not stop within a roundabout unless it is the only way to avoid a crash, and do not change lanes inside it. Never attempt to pass vehicles, especially large trucks, which may need more than one lane.
