Pennsylvania DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: .08 or higher

A driver 21 or older is considered to be driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. You can also be convicted at lower levels if you are driving erratically.

Correct answer: Class C

A non-commercial Class C license is the class that covers regular passenger vehicles, pickup trucks and vans — the vehicles most applicants drive. It does not permit operating a motorcycle.

Correct answer: 20 feet

You may not park within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection.

Correct answer: Stop your vehicle at or near the crash scene

Stop your vehicle at or near the crash scene. If you can, move it off the road so you do not block traffic, since many crashes happen when traffic slows for an earlier crash.

Correct answer: The first vehicle to reach the intersection

At a four-way stop, all vehicles must stop, and the first vehicle to reach the intersection should move forward first. If two arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.

Correct answer: Take your attention off driving, your eyes off the road, or your hands off the wheel

A distraction is anything that causes you to take your attention away from driving, take your eyes off the road, or take your hands off the wheel. All three make it harder to react in time.

Correct answer: One complete lane

By law, you must allow a motorcyclist or moped driver to use one complete lane. Do not share a lane by driving alongside them.

Correct answer: You are not allowed to use that lane

A steady red “X” over a lane means you are not allowed to use it. A steady downward green arrow means you may use the lane, and a steady yellow “X” means the lane’s direction is about to reverse — change lanes.

Correct answer: Reduce your speed by 5 to 10 mph and increase your following distance to five or six seconds

When roads get slick, reduce your speed by 5 to 10 mph on wet roads and increase your following distance to five or six seconds.

Correct answer: When you can see both of the passed vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror

Before moving back into the lane after passing, make sure you can see both headlights of the vehicle you passed in your rearview mirror, and signal your return to the lane.

Correct answer: .02 or higher

Under Pennsylvania’s Zero Tolerance law, a driver under 21 is considered to be driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of .02 or higher.

Correct answer: Class M

A Class M license is issued to people who have demonstrated their ability to operate a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle. A Class C license alone does not permit operating a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Correct answer: 30 feet

You may not park within 30 feet of any flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or traffic-control device located at the side of a roadway.

Correct answer: Anyone is hurt or killed, or a vehicle must be towed

Call the police if anyone is hurt or dies, or if any vehicle needs to be towed. If the drivers cannot call, witnesses at or near the scene must call for help.

Correct answer: Look left first, then right, then left again before pulling out

Follow the left-right-left rule: look left first because vehicles from the left are closer, then look right, then look left again before you pull out — you may see a vehicle you missed the first time.

Correct answer: A primary offense that carries a $50 fine

Pennsylvania’s anti-texting law makes texting while driving a primary, summary offense that carries a $50 fine. An officer can stop and cite you for this violation alone.

Correct answer: Not assume it is turning, because its signal may not turn off automatically

A motorcycle’s turn signal may not cancel automatically like a car’s. Do not pull out in front of a motorcycle until you see it actually beginning to turn.

Correct answer: The STOP sign

The STOP sign is the only octagon-shaped (8-sided) sign you see on the highway. At a STOP sign you must come to a complete stop — slowing down without stopping is illegal.
