These come from questions learners find hardest. Each links to the page of the handbook it comes from.
A 16-year-old with a driver license (not a permit) may not drive from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. Exceptions include driving with a licensed driver 21 or older in the front seat, agricultural work, going to or from work or a school activity, and emergencies.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 18A defensive driving course recommended by the division can remove 50 points, but only once during any three-year period. This course is different from the traffic school some courts offer.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 83A second or later Not-a-Drop offense within 10 years costs two years of driving privileges or until age 21, whichever is longer. For an 18-year-old, that means waiting until 21.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 62A first DUI conviction automatically restricts the driver to vehicles with an ignition interlock device for 18 months. If the driver was under 21 when arrested, the restriction is three years.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 64A first texting conviction is a class C misdemeanor with a fine of up to $100. It becomes a class B misdemeanor if the driver injures someone or has a previous texting violation, and officers may stop a driver they see texting.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 69A red left-turn arrow means stop and stay stopped. If it fails to change and you are stranded, you may turn left only from a one-way street onto a one-way street, and only when safe.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 56Never make a U-turn on a curve or near a hilltop where you cannot see or be seen for 500 feet in both directions. U-turns are also banned on railroad crossings, on freeways and where a sign prohibits them.
Utah Driver Handbook (AAMVA Model Non-Commercial), page 48You may not enter a shared center left-turn lane more than 500 feet before turning, unless the last car waiting is more than 500 feet from the intersection. The lane is for turning, not for driving long distances.
