How the real Maryland knowledge test works
The Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration test is 25 questions, 22 correct to pass (88%), 20-minute limit. This simulator follows the same structure, gives no feedback until you finish, and draws a new set of questions from the full Maryland bank every time.
Aim to pass the simulator two or three times in a row, on different days, before you book your test.
Sample questions from this test
If you are under 25 and have never had a driver's license, what is the youngest age at which you can get a Maryland Learner's Instructional Permit?
- A 15 years and 6 months
- B 16 years exactly
- C 16 years and 6 months
- D 15 years and 9 months
Show answer
D. 15 years and 9 months
Maryland applicants younger than 25 must be at least 15 years and 9 months old for a Type 1 Learner's Instructional Permit. Starting just before 16 gives new drivers time to finish driver education and practice hours before they can apply for a Provisional License.
A 17-year-old provisional driver is convicted of a first moving violation. What does Maryland require?
- A Completing a driver improvement program
- B A 30-day license suspension
- C A 180-day license suspension
- D Revocation of the provisional license for one year
Show answer
A. Completing a driver improvement program
Under Maryland's provisional penalties for minors, a first moving-violation conviction or PBJ requires a driver improvement program. Penalties then step up with each new offense, which pushes young drivers to correct habits early.
At what blood alcohol concentration (BAC) does Maryland consider a driver 21 or older to be driving under the influence?
- A .05 or higher
- B .10 or higher
- C .08 or higher
- D .12 or higher
Show answer
C. .08 or higher
Maryland considers a driver to be under the influence of alcohol at a BAC of .08 or higher. Even below that, alcohol can slow your reaction time and blur your judgment, so you can still face charges if you are impaired.
How much space does Maryland require you to leave when passing a bicyclist?
- A At least 3 feet
- B At least 1 foot
- C At least 2 feet
- D At least 10 feet
Show answer
A. At least 3 feet
Pass a bicyclist like any slow vehicle: slow down, wait for oncoming traffic to clear, and leave at least 3 feet. Bicyclists may swerve around potholes or glass you cannot see.
In Maryland, you must turn on your headlights whenever you cannot clearly see how far ahead?
- A 500 feet
- B 1,000 feet
- C 300 feet
- D 1,500 feet
Show answer
B. 1,000 feet
You must turn on your headlights anytime there is not enough light to clearly see at least 1,000 feet ahead. Headlights help you see and help other drivers see you.
