This Alabama DMV practise tests include questions based on the most important traffic signs and restrictions from the official Alabama Driver Handbook. To prepare for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam, use authentic questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.

Each practise test question contains a tip and explanation to help you remember the concepts. Questions about road rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as information from the Driver Handbook, will be included in the written portion of the official DMV test.

You must properly answer 32 out of 40 questions to receive the required passing score. To help you prepare for your Alabama instruction permit or driver's licence, take our DMV practise exam.

The DMV exam is accessible in a variety of languages.

Using any kind of testing assistance during the test will result in an automatic failure, and the DMV may take additional action against your driver's licence, so don't do it.

This sign indicates that there is a pedestrian crosswalk.

10 . A steady green traffic light at an intersection means:

A steady green traffic light indicates that the driver may continue through the intersection. The driver should yield to traffic or pedestrians already in the intersection and proceed when the intersection is clear.

11 . A red traffic signal indicates that approaching drivers should:

Stop when a traffic signal is red. Remain stopped at a steady red light until the signal changes to green.

If you try to insert your vehicle between a turning truck or bus and a curb, you may suffer a serious crash. To avoid a collision, do not turn until the truck or bus has completed its turn.

13 . To prevent eye fatigue when driving at night, drivers should:

Eye fatigue is common when driving at night. This can be relieved by keeping your eyes moving from the center of the road to the sides, from near to far ahead, etc.

14 . When entering traffic after being parked at a curb, you:

Any time that you merge into city or highway traffic, you should wait for a gap in traffic large enough for your vehicle to get up to the speed of other traffic.

15 . If the driver of an oncoming vehicle fails to dim their headlights:

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their headlights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course. Do not try to retaliate by keeping your bright lights on.

16 . Children on bicycles should be given extra space by motor vehicle operators because:

Children are often the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult pedestrians to see. Take extra care to look out for children, especially near schools, bus stops, playgrounds, parks, and ice cream trucks. Be aware of children riding bikes on the sidewalk, as they may come onto the road unexpectedly.
