FREE New Hampshire DMV Practice Test #15 Page 2 of 5
The DMV practise exams in New Hampshire have been updated for January 2025. It includes questions based on the most important traffic signals and legislation in the New Hampshire Driver Handbook for 2025. To study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam, use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
Each question on the practise exam has a tip and explanation to help you recall the ideas. Questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as knowledge from the Driver Handbook, will be included in the written portion of the official New Hampshire DMV test.
You must properly answer 32 of the 40 questions to receive a passing mark. Take this New Hampshire DMV practise exam to help you prepare for your instruction permit or driver's licence.
The DMV exam is offered in a variety of languages.
Using any form of testing help will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take further action against your driver's licence, so avoid it.

9 . This sign means that:
There is a pedestrian crosswalk ahead.
This sign indicates that workers may be on or very close to the roadway ahead, so you should take special care when traveling through the area.
10 . Always signal when:
All of the above.
Always use the proper turn signal when changing lanes, pulling into or out of a parking space, or pulling into traffic from an alley or parking area. Communicate with other drivers on the road to help prevent accidents.
11 . What is the appropriate action to take when approaching a railroad crossing that does not have signals to direct traffic?
Increase your speed to get across the tracks quickly.
When approaching an unmarked railroad crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop. Before you cross, be sure that no trains are approaching from either direction on any track. If you see or hear a train coming, stop at a safe distance from the nearest track and wait to proceed until after the train passes.
12 . A yellow and black diamond-shaped sign:
Tells you about road construction ahead.
Warning signs, which tell you about conditions on or near the road ahead, are usually diamond-shaped with black symbols or words on a yellow background.
13 . Which of the following must you obey over the other three?
A flashing red light
Directions given by traffic officers take precedence over signs, signals, and pavement markings. People authorized to direct traffic include police officers, fire police, highway work area flag persons, and school crossing persons.
14 . This road sign means:
Soft shoulders.
This sign (with the arrow below) indicates the location of a bicycle crossing/path. Drive with caution around this sign because bicycles likely regularly cross or ride beside traffic in the area.
15 . Hydroplaning is usually caused by:
Excessive speed.
Your tires become less effective at clearing water from the road as you increase your speed. If you drive too fast, they may lose their grip entirely, leaving the vehicle sliding on a film of water. This is known as "hydroplaning."
16 . If an oncoming driver is heading toward you in your lane, you should:
Stay in the center of your lane, blow your horn, and brake.
If another vehicle is approaching you head-on in your lane, you should first honk your horn to attract attention. If the other driver does not move over, try to escape to the right. If you swerve left and the other driver corrects at the last instant, you will still crash. If a collision is unavoidable, brake firmly and steadily. Every mile per hour you slow down will reduce the impact.
