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.

 

You will cover every section in the official driver's manual, so you won't have to worry about forgetting important notions when you attempt to pass your exam. We've made studying for the DMV test a lot easier.

Question 1 - Diagnostic Test

(B) If an underage driver is convicted of Minor in Possession of Alcohol (MIP), the court will confiscate his or her driver license for 30 days. (This is distinct from the suspension of a driver's license, which is handled by the Montana Department of Transportation.) [Montana Driver Manual, Chapter 8 – Penalties and Driving Records;]

Question 2 - Diagnostic Test

Above your lane, you notice a flashing yellow X. What does it imply?

▢ This lane is only for turning

▢ Proceed with extreme caution

▢ This lane is now closed

▢ As soon as it is safe to do so, move into another lane

Question 2 - Diagnostic Test

(A) Lane use control signals are special overhead signals that indicate which lanes of a roadway may be used in various directions at different times. These signals are frequently used to regulate traffic flow in reversible lanes or at toll plazas. They can also be used to close down specific lanes due to accidents or road work. In Montana, a flashing yellow X indicates that this lane is reserved for turning. Utilize caution because oncoming vehicles may use this lane to make turns.

Question 3 - Diagnostic Test

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

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

▢ from the left, and there is no incoming traffic turning 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

Question 3 - Diagnostic Test

(B) 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. Yield to people crossing the road you are about to enter.

On each side, you notice a lane denoted by a double dashed yellow line. What kind of lane is it?

▢ A reversible lane

▢ A parallel parking lane in the center

▢ A shared center lane

▢ A HOV lane is a high-occupancy vehicle lane

Question 4 - Diagnostic Test

(A) This is a lane that can be used both ways. A reversible lane transports traffic in one direction at times and the opposite direction at others. Typically, reversible lanes are employed to improve capacity during morning and evening rush hours. Keep an eye out for signs or overhead signals showing if the reversible lane is open in your direction. [Other Lane Controls, Pavement Markings, Montana Driver License Manual, Chapter 3 – Signs, Signals, & Markings]

Question 5 - Diagnostic Test

Alcohol impairs all of the essential skills required for safe driving, but what is the fundamental reason drinking and driving is so dangerous?

▢ Your reflexes are dulled by alcohol

▢ Alcohol impairs your judgment and ability

▢ Alcohol impairs your vision

▢ Alcohol impairs coordination

Question 5 - Diagnostic Test

(B) Alcohol has an effect on the parts of your brain that control judgment and skill. One of the reasons why alcohol is so hazardous is that it impairs your judgment. Driving requires sound judgment. However, in this scenario, judgment is useful in determining when to quit drinking. Alcohol decreases your reflexes and reaction time, impairs your vision, and makes you less alert. As the amount of alcohol in your system increases, so does your judgment and expertise. You'll struggle to judge distances, speeds, and the movement of other vehicles. Finally, you will struggle to maintain control of your vehicle. [Why is Drinking and Driving So Dangerous?, Chapter 6 – Physical Requirements, Montana Driver Manual]

Question 10 - Diagnostic Test

In a few places (for example, Michigan), you can also turn left on red from a two-way street onto a one-way street. Other states, such as South Dakota, outright prohibit left turns on red. Always verify the local traffic laws when going out of state. [Vehicle Signals, Traffic Signals, Montana Driver License Manual, Chapter 3 – Signs, Signals, & Markings]
