DMV Permit Test #8
FREE Idaho DMV Practice Test #8 Page 5 of 5
This set of Idaho DMV practise tests has been updated for January 2024. It includes questions based on the Idaho Driver Handbook's most significant traffic signs and regulations for 2024. Use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam to study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
On the practise exam, each question gets a tip and explanation to help you remember the concepts. The written component of the official DMV test will include questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as information from the Driver Handbook.
To obtain a passing grade, you must correctly answer 34 of the 40 questions. Take our DMV practise exam to help you prepare for your Idaho instruction permit or driver's licence.
The DMV exam is available in several languages.
Using any kind of testing assistance will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take additional action against your driver's licence, so stay away from it.

Sound your horn to make the cars move up.
You cannot enter an intersection if traffic is backed up on the other side and you cannot get completely through the intersection. Wait until traffic ahead clears so you do not block the intersection.
36 . What should you do when you see this sign?

Stop.
This sign indicates that there is a railroad crossing on the road ahead. You should always slow down when approaching a railroad crossing. Trains cannot yield to cars, so you must let them pass before crossing the tracks.
37 . When is it illegal to drive below the speed limit?
When driving under adverse weather conditions
It is illegal to drive so slowly that you disrupt the normal flow of traffic. You may receive a citation for driving too slowly.
38 . When driving past a vehicle that has just stopped in a parked position on the side of the road, you should:
Assume that the driver will wait for you to pass before opening the door.
When passing a vehicle that has just parked parallel to the road, you should assume the driver will open the door as you approach. Use extra caution when driving near parked vehicles.
39 . You must stop for a school bus:
Whenever the driver waves at you.
You must stop when approaching a school bus that is displaying flashing red lights while stopped to pick up or drop off children. On a two-lane road, traffic moving in both directions must stop and remain stopped as long as the red lights near the top of the bus are flashing and/or the stop arm on the left side of the bus is extended.
40 . Allow a larger space cushion than usual when stopping:
At a toll plaza.
You should allow more space in front of your vehicle than usual when you are stopped on an uphill slope. If the vehicle in front of you rolls backward toward your vehicle when traffic begins to move again, it is less likely that there will be a collision.
