What every state test covers
Roughly 80% of any state's written exam is material shared by all 50 states — federal sign standards, right-of-way rules, speed and space management, impaired driving law. The remaining fifth is state-specific: your speed limits, curb colors, phone laws and penalties. These tests split those apart so you can see which half you're weak on.
Road Signs
Shapes, colors and what each sign actually requires you to do. The single most-tested section on every state exam.
Signals & Road Markings
Traffic lights, flashing signals, and what the yellow and white lines on the pavement permit you to do.
Right-of-Way
Who goes first at stops, left turns, roundabouts, school buses and emergency vehicles.
Speed & Following Distance
The basic speed law, the three-second rule, stopping distance and adjusting for weather.
Parking & Stopping
Hill parking, curb colors, prohibited places, and the distances people lose points on.
Alcohol, Drugs & the Law
BAC limits, zero tolerance, implied consent, and how medications affect driving.
Emergencies & Hazards
Skids, blowouts, brake failure, running off the pavement, fog and collision duties.
Sharing the Road
Trucks and their blind spots, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and Move Over laws.
State-Specific Laws
The rules that differ where you live — speed limits, curb colors, phone laws and local penalties.
