Getting ready for your driver's test can be a long and stressful process. You have to study the handbook and take multiple generic practice tests before you feel comfortable taking the real thing.

Our easy-to-follow questions will help you understand everything from basic road rules to more complex topics such as fines and limits specific to your state. We also provide detailed explanations about why each answer is correct so that you know exactly what to look out for when taking your actual exam.

Total Questions 15

Correct Answer to pass 12

Question 1 - Diagnostic Test

Which of the following assertions is baseless?

▢ Driving substantially slower than other vehicles can be just as dangerous as speeding

▢ Minimum speed limitations posted on the road are not enforceable

▢ On a two-lane road, you may exceed the speed limit in order to safely pass another car

▢ You may be cited for exceeding the speed limit

Question 1 - Diagnostic Test

(C) The maximum speed limit in Connecticut is never to be exceeded. Some limited-access split highways, such as interstates, have posted speed limits. Driving slower than this minimal speed may result in a citation unless hazardous driving conditions necessitate it for your safety. You must always drive at a reasonable and prudent speed for the current driving conditions, even if that speed is less than the maximum speed limit. Slow down significantly below the speed limit, for example, when driving on a snowy or icy road. Even if you are not breaking the speed limit, you can be charged for driving too fast for the conditions.

Question 2 - Diagnostic Test

This symbol is

▢ a barricade in a construction zone

▢ a caution sign in a construction zone

▢ an interstate highway guide sign

▢ an object marker on a roadway

Question 2 - Diagnostic Test

(D) This is an object marker sign, which is used to alert drivers about things in the road or extremely close to the road's edge. The stripes point down the road, toward the safe side. This sign advises that you should continue to the right in order to pass the object.

Question 3 - Diagnostic Test

Before turning right at an intersection, be sure that there is no traffic approaching

▢ from your right, and there is no approaching traffic moving left into your path

▢ from the right, with no approaching traffic turning right into your path

▢ from the left, and there is no approaching traffic turning right into your path.

▢ from the left, and there is no oncoming traffic turning left into your path

Question 3 - Diagnostic Test

(D) Make sure there is no traffic arriving from the left and no oncoming traffic turning left into your path before turning right at a junction. Also, give way to pedestrians crossing the road you're about to enter.

Question 4 - Diagnostic Test

An __________ is a sequence of ramps that connects an expressway to a road or another expressway.

▢ interchange

▢ intersection

▢ exit ramp

▢ entrance ramp

Question 4 - Diagnostic Test

(A) An interchange is a road junction where two or more roads cross over one another such that traffic movement is not impeded. The roads are instead linked by a series of linking ramps. These ramps allow you to safely exit one route and enter another without interfering with traffic flow. Interchanges include diamond, cloverleaf, and folded diamond, among others.

Question 5 - Diagnostic Test

This sign alerts drivers that they

▢ must not leave the pavement

▢ must move onto the shoulder at a slower pace

▢ should extend their following distance to 6 seconds

▢ should move quickly onto the shoulder

Question 5 - Diagnostic Test

(A) This symbol denotes a gentle shoulder. The dirt on the roadside is soft. Except in an emergency, never leave the pavement.

Question 6 - Diagnostic Test

What does this sign indicate?

▢ Freeway interchange

▢ End of the right lane

▢ Exit sign on a motorway

▢ Beginning of a divided highway

Question 6 - Diagnostic Test

(A) This is a sign for a freeway interchange. This sign alerts you to the fact that you are approaching an interchange.

Question 7 - Diagnostic Test

▢ You are not permitted to park on either side of the sign

▢ You are not permitted to park to the left of the sign

▢ Parking is available to the left of the sign

▢ You can park on the left side of the sign at night

Question 7 - Diagnostic Test

Question 8 - Diagnostic Test

When making sharp turns, turn the steering wheel by applying

▢ push/pull technique

▢ one-hand technique

▢ hands-free technique

▢ hand-over-hand technique

Question 8 - Diagnostic Test

(D) Use the hand-over-hand technique to spin the steering wheel when approaching a sharp corner. If you turn the wheel with only one hand, you may lose control. Straighten out the steering wheel by hand once you've completed the turn. Allowing it to slip between your fingers could be risky.

Question 9 - Diagnostic Test

Passing another vehicle safely at 55 mph on a two-lane road takes around

▢ 14 seconds

▢ 7 seconds

▢ 10 seconds

▢ 18 seconds

Question 9 - Diagnostic Test

(C) Passing takes roughly 10 seconds at 55 mph. That means you'll need a 10-second gap in approaching traffic as well as sight distance to pass. You must determine whether there will be enough space to pass securely. At 55 mph, you'll cover more than 800 feet in 10 seconds.

Question 10 - Diagnostic Test

▢ 30 days

▢ 90 days

▢ 45 days

Question 10 - Diagnostic Test

(C) If you are caught for driving while intoxicated, the officer will request that you submit to a chemical test to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC). If you fail this test, you will have your driver's license suspended for at least 45 days. For at least six months, you will also be required to install and maintain an ignition interlock device (IID) in each car you drive. If your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) exceeds a predetermined limit, the IID will prevent your car from starting.

Question 11 - Diagnostic Test

What is the significance of this flashing arrow panel?

▢ Flaggers are ahead

▢ The lane ahead of you is open for traffic

▢ The lane ahead has been closed

▢ The left lane curves ahead

Question 11 - Diagnostic Test

(C) Sequential arrow panels can be employed in work zones 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This one indicates that the lane ahead is closed and that you should take the lane to your left.

Question 12 - Diagnostic Test

Tires that are unbalanced or have low tire pressures might cause

▢ quicker tire wear

▢ reduced stopping distance

▢ increased fuel economy

▢ all of the aforementioned

Question 12 - Diagnostic Test

(A) When the road is wet, worn or bald tires can increase stopping distance and make turning more difficult. Unbalanced tires or low tire pressures can cause faster tire wear and poorer fuel economy and make the car difficult to steer and stop.

Question 13 - Diagnostic Test

Except _________, you may pass a vehicle on the right.

▢ when the other vehicle is in a left-turn lane

▢ when you're in the left-turn lane

▢ on one-way streets with all traffic lanes traveling in the same direction

▢ on roads with at least two lanes traveling in the same direction as you

Question 13 - Diagnostic Test

(B) You may pass a vehicle on the right in Connecticut if: 1) the vehicle is making or about to make a left turn; or 2) there are two or more lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction as the vehicle. (This can occur on a multilane highway or a one-way street.) A left-turn lane is only used for turning left (and U-turns where permitted).

Question 14 - Diagnostic Test

Which of the following claims is incorrect in Connecticut?

▢ When driving in low light, you may use your parking lights

▢ When vision is low, you must use your headlights

▢ When driving in fog, heavy rain, or thick snow, use low-beam headlights

▢ From a half-hour after nightfall to a half-hour before sunrise, you must use your headlights

Question 14 - Diagnostic Test

(A) According to Connecticut law, you must use your headlights from a half-hour after dusk to a half-hour before daybreak, and if visibility is less than 500 feet ahead. When using your windshield wipers in inclement weather, you must also use your headlights. When driving in fog, heavy rain, or heavy snow, use your low-beam headlights. (High beams can generate glare by reflecting off precipitation.) Your parking lights are intended for parking only, not driving. If you need more light when driving, turn on your headlights rather than your parking lights.

Question 2 - Practice Test 1

(D) When you drive too fast on a wet road, you may experience hydroplaning. If your vehicle begins to hydroplane, do not apply the brakes. Braking too hard may cause your vehicle to slip out of control. Instead, remove your foot from the accelerator and allow your car to slow down until hydroplaning ceases.
