DMV Permit Test #10
FREE Massachusetts DMV Practice Test #10 Page 3 of 4
The Massachusetts DMV practise examinations have been updated for January 2024. It includes questions based on the Massachusetts Driver Handbook's most significant traffic signals and legislation 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 Massachusetts DMV test will include questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as knowledge from the Driver Handbook.
To obtain a passing grade, you must correctly answer 18 of the 25 questions. To help you prepare for your instruction permit or driver's licence, take our Massachusetts DMV practise exam.
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.

13 . Blood alcohol content (BAC) depends on each of the following, except:
How physically fit you are.
Your blood alcohol content (BAC) depends on how much alcohol you drink, how much time passes between drinks, and your weight. It is not affected by the type of alcoholic beverages you drink, your level of physical fitness, or how well you can "hold your liquor."
14 . A person's ability to drive can be impaired by:
All of the above.
The ability to drive safely is dependent on the driver being in good physical condition. Driving can be impaired by alcohol, legal and illegal drugs, and being drowsy.
15 . You must stop at an intersection when you see a:
Flashing yellow light.
A flashing red traffic signal has the same meaning as a stop sign. At an intersection with a flashing red light, you must come to a complete stop, look both ways, and proceed only after the intersection is clear.
16 . Which of the following does not happen after drinking?
You calm down and can concentrate better.
Alcohol reduces your reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly, changes your judgment of speed and distances, reduces your ability to recover from the glare of headlights, and often reduces your inhibitions and makes you more likely to take risks.
17 . A red arrow displayed on a traffic light means that:
A driver may turn in the direction that the red arrow is pointing.
Unless a posted sign indicates otherwise, a traffic signal displaying a red arrow means that drivers must come to a full stop and remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears.
18 . When should you use your horn?
If you are saying hello to a fellow driver.
People cannot see you unless they are looking your way. Your horn may get their attention. Use it whenever it will help prevent a collision.
