Wisconsin DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: Making it harder to judge distances, speed, and the movement of other vehicles

Alcohol, drugs, and other substances affect the way you think and make decisions. You will have trouble judging distances, speed, and the movement of other vehicles.

Correct answer: Two

You must bring two documents that prove you live in Wisconsin — for example a utility bill or financial statement showing your name and Wisconsin address — along with proof of name/date of birth, legal status, and identity.

Correct answer: A crime

It is a crime to leave the scene of a crash if someone is injured or killed. Call 911, stay on the scene, and do not move the vehicles.

Correct answer: Still in the intersection

You should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers who are still in the intersection.

Correct answer: Drive at a lower speed, use your headlights, and be ready to stop

Fog, rain, or other low-visibility conditions are hard to drive in. Drive at a lower speed, use your headlights so you can see better, and be ready to stop.

Correct answer: Move into the lane not nearest the vehicle and stay in the farthest lane until past it

When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing, move into the lane not nearest the stopped vehicle. Keep in the farthest lane until you have gone past it.

Correct answer: Yield to emergency vehicles and others as required by law

A steady green light means you can go through the intersection, but you must yield to emergency vehicles and others as required by law. If you were stopped, let cross traffic clear before going ahead.

Correct answer: Move over to the open lane when it is safe to do so

Merge and Lane Ends signs warn that a lane is ending or that traffic is combining. Move over to the next lane when it is safe to do so.

Correct answer: Drive in the far-right lane

Drive in the far-right lane of a multi-lane road if you are driving slower than most traffic, so others can pass on the left.

Correct answer: The lane farthest on the left

The lane farthest on the left of a multi-lane road is used for vehicles to go around slower ones.

Correct answer: The same as operating impaired

Any amount of a controlled substance is the same as operating impaired. Studies show that people who use marijuana make more mistakes while driving.

Correct answer: Valid originals — no photocopies and not expired

All required items must be valid — no photocopies and nothing expired. Check the DMV website beforehand for the full list of acceptable documents and fees.

Correct answer: Move your vehicle off the road when it is safe and exchange information with the other driver

If there are no injuries and you can move your vehicle, move it off the road when safe so you do not block traffic. Exchange driver license, vehicle, and insurance information, record any damage, and get witness information.

Correct answer: Stop at least ten feet away until the person is off the roadway

You must yield to a pedestrian using a guide dog or carrying a white cane even if they are not in the intersection. Stop at least ten feet away until the person is off the roadway.

Correct answer: Appear to be moving slower than they actually are

When there is reduced visibility, vehicles may appear to be moving slower than they actually are. At night it is also harder to judge the distance and speed of oncoming traffic.

Correct answer: Tow trucks, highway-maintenance vehicles, and utility vehicles

Wisconsin’s Move Over Law also covers stopped tow, highway-maintenance, and utility vehicles displaying warning lights — not just police and emergency vehicles. Move over or slow down when you approach them.

Correct answer: Oncoming traffic — you may turn only when it is safe

A steady green light lets you turn left, but only when it is safe. Oncoming traffic has the right-of-way, so you must wait for a safe gap.

Correct answer: Stop sign — come to a complete stop and wait until your path is clear

The Stop sign has eight sides and is red with white letters. You must come to a complete stop and wait until your path is clear before continuing.

Correct answer: Cause vehicles to back up behind you, cause a crash, and even earn you a ticket

Going too fast or too slow could cause a crash. Going too slow can cause vehicles to back up behind you, and in both cases police could give you a ticket.

Correct answer: Stopped or making a left turn

You can use a paved shoulder to go around someone only if they are stopped or making a left turn. Otherwise, pass on the left.

Correct answer: No — it is illegal to drive under the influence of any impairing drug, including prescription and non-prescription drugs

It is illegal to drive under the influence of any drugs — this includes prescription and non-prescription drugs, which can also negatively impact driving.

Correct answer: Accepts liability for incidents caused by the minor driving

A sponsor accepts liability — they are legally and financially responsible for incidents caused by the minor driving. They also verify the minor is enrolled in school and, later, the required driving hours. A sponsor may remove sponsorship at any time.

Correct answer: $1,000 or more

Report a crash to police if there is property damage of $1,000 or more — or government property damage of $200 or more, such as signs or guard rails.

Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way to that vehicle

You must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle that is passing you on the left or right and going the same direction on the road.

Correct answer: Bridges and overpasses

In severe weather, bridges and overpasses freeze before the rest of the roadway. Slow down and stay alert as you approach them.

Correct answer: Move over or slow down to give it room

If a police car is stopped on the side of the road with its lights on, move over or slow down — it’s the law. This gives the officer and other emergency vehicles room.

Correct answer: You may turn in the direction of the arrow — oncoming and crossing traffic is stopped

A steady green arrow means you can turn in the direction of the arrow, and there should be no oncoming or crossing traffic while the arrow is green. Still watch for pedestrians.

Correct answer: Yield sign — you must yield the right-of-way to other vehicles

The Yield sign is a downward-pointing red and white triangle. It means you must yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians.

Correct answer: Speed up to match the flow of traffic and find a safe gap to merge

In the acceleration lane you speed up as you merge with the traffic flow. Try to enter at the same speed traffic is moving — it is your responsibility to find a safe gap to legally merge.

Correct answer: Pass only one vehicle at a time on the left, without exceeding the speed limit

Pass only one vehicle at a time on the left side, and do not stay in the passing lane. You cannot go over the speed limit to pass another vehicle.

Correct answer: Includes motor vehicles — do not drive after taking it

Before you get behind the wheel, check the warning label for side effects. If the label says do not operate heavy machinery, this includes motor vehicles.

Correct answer: A parent, step-parent, or legal guardian

A parent, step-parent, or legal guardian may sign as sponsor. If the teen does not live with a parent or guardian, certain relatives (such as a grandparent, aunt/uncle, or an 18+ sibling or spouse) may sponsor instead.

Correct answer: $200 or more

You must report a crash if there is government property damage of $200 or more (for example, signs or guard rails) — a lower threshold than the $1,000 that applies to other property.

Correct answer: A driveway, a parking lot entrance, or a railroad crossing

An intersection is where two points cross. It includes cross streets, driveways, parking lot entrances, and railroad crossings. Look left and right before entering any of them.

Correct answer: Stay off the road; if you must drive, slow down and stay alert

When road surfaces are slippery, icy, or snow covered, it is best to stay off the road and not drive. If you must drive, slow down and stay alert, and avoid rapid braking or sudden sharp turns.

Correct answer: Stop

When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing, you must stop and watch for children. Proceed only once the red lights have stopped flashing.

Correct answer: Yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians first, then turn with caution

A flashing yellow arrow means yield first before turning, then proceed with caution. Unlike a green arrow, the turn is not protected.

Correct answer: On exit ramps going the wrong direction and on one-way streets

The Do Not Enter sign means you cannot enter. It is used on exit ramps that would put you going the wrong direction and on one-way streets.

Correct answer: Turn, slow, or stop the car

Change your speed for road and traffic conditions: the faster your car is going, the more distance it will take to turn, slow, or stop the car.

Correct answer: Once you can see both of that vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror

Once you see both headlights of the vehicle you just passed in your rearview mirror, it is safe to return to the driving lane. Do not pass unless there is enough room in front of the vehicle you want to pass.

Correct answer: Make more mistakes while driving

Studies have shown that people who use marijuana make more mistakes while driving. Any amount of a controlled substance is the same as operating impaired.

Correct answer: Through the probationary phase until they turn 18

The sponsorship carries through the probationary phase until the driver turns 18. The sponsor also verifies the driver’s supervised driving hours during that phase.

Correct answer: One where someone is injured or killed, a vehicle cannot move, or a driver appears impaired

You must report a crash if someone is injured or killed, if you cannot move your vehicle, if a driver appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if damage reaches the reporting thresholds.

Correct answer: Approach the blocked intersection at a slow pace, ready to brake

Trees, buildings, and parked vehicles can block the view at intersections. Approach a blocked intersection at a slow pace so you keep control and can brake if needed.

Correct answer: Avoid rapid braking and sudden sharp turns

To keep control of your vehicle on slippery roads, avoid rapid braking or sudden sharp turns. Smooth, gentle inputs help you keep traction.

Correct answer: At least 20 feet

When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing, you need to stop at least 20 feet from it.

Correct answer: Follow the officer’s directions, even if they differ from the signal

You must follow the directions of a police officer, school crossing guard, or other authorized worker even when they differ from the traffic light or a sign.

Correct answer: The maximum speed you may drive in good driving conditions

A Speed Limit sign indicates the maximum speed you may drive in good driving conditions. You may need to go slower depending on visibility and road conditions.

Correct answer: Curved roads, hills, and when rain, snow, or hail begins

Slow down for curved roads or hills; when it starts to rain, snow, or hail; in parking lots, malls, and downtown areas; near schools, playgrounds, and residential neighborhoods; and in heavy traffic. Try to avoid driving at all if the roads are icy.

Correct answer: Move slowly — no faster than a slow walk — and turn to look behind you

Do as little backing up as possible. When it is necessary, move slowly — no faster than a slow walk — and turn your body to look behind you through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors and backup camera.
