Sample questions from this test
Does New Hampshire issue learner's permits to new car drivers?
- A No, the state does not issue permits to learn to drive
- B Yes, after passing the knowledge test at age 15
- C Yes, but only to students enrolled in driver education
- D Yes, at age 16, and it is valid for one year
Show answer
A. No, the state does not issue permits to learn to drive
New Hampshire does not issue learner's permits for cars. Instead, state law lets an unlicensed person who is old enough practice while accompanied by a qualified licensed adult. This is different from most states, so do not expect a permit card.

At 30 mph or less, at least 3 feet between your vehicle and a bicyclist is presumed reasonable. Give one more foot for every 10 mph above 30, and slow down when passing.

Show answer
C. .08% or higher
A driver is legally intoxicated at a BAC of .08% or higher, or .02% or higher if under 21. Impairment starts with the first drink, so the only safe plan is not to drive after drinking.
