DMV PracticeWhy state by state
In the United States each state issues its own driver licenses and sets its own knowledge test from its own handbook. Much is common to all, but the numbers a test asks about often differ. You may not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant in California or Virginia; in Oregon it is 10 feet. The unposted limit in a business district is 25 in Virginia and 20 in Oregon. Practice written for "the DMV test" in general cannot get such questions right for everyone.
How this site is made
For each state we opened the current driver handbook on the official website, read it, and wrote questions of our own on rules that it states plainly. The explanation under each answer tells you what the handbook says. We have done this for three states so far. Several other states' sites did not let us download their handbooks, and we do not write questions from memory, so those states are not here. The states page says more.
What is covered and what is not
The questions cover speed limits where no sign is posted, following distance, signalling, parking distances, headlights, alcohol limits, traffic signals and right-of-way. They do not include pictures of road signs, which every real test includes; learn those from the handbook. We read parts of each handbook, not every page, so a real test will ask things that are not here.
A sensible way to use it
- Read your state's handbook, free on its official site.
- Read our questions for your state with the explanations.
- Take the practice test on several days.
- Look up every miss in the handbook.
Questions people ask
Is this an official DMV website?
No. It is an independent practice site, not connected with any state agency. Official handbooks and tests are on each state's own website.
Which states can I practise for?
California, Virginia and Oregon, each from its own handbook.
Are these the actual test questions?
No. Every question is our own, written from a rule in the state handbook and explained.
Is it free?
Yes, with no login. Advertisements pay for the site.
Independent practice site. DMV Practice is not a government website and is not connected with any Department of Motor Vehicles or licensing agency. The questions are our own, written from each state's public driver handbook as we read it on 12 November 2026. They are not the official test questions. Laws change: the current handbook of your own state is the authority.
