Sample questions from this test
Part one of Virginia's knowledge exam has 10 road-sign questions. How many must you answer correctly before you can move on to part two?
- A At least 9 of them
- B At least 8 of them
- C At least 7 of them
- D All 10 of them
Show answer
D. All 10 of them
Virginia's sign section is all-or-nothing: you must get every one of the 10 sign questions right before the computer lets you start part two. Signs are tested this strictly because you have to recognise them instantly on the road.
An adult driver collects 18 demerit points within 12 months. What will Virginia DMV do?
- A A 90-day suspension plus a driver improvement clinic
- B Suspend the license for 30 days with no clinic
- C Send a warning letter but take no other action at all
- D Revoke the license for one year with no clinic
Show answer
A. A 90-day suspension plus a driver improvement clinic
If you receive 18 demerit points within 12 months, or 24 within 24 months, DMV suspends your driving privilege for 90 days and requires a driver improvement clinic. Points add up from convictions, so a string of small violations can cost you your license.
For a driver aged 21 or older, at what blood alcohol content (BAC) does Virginia law consider you to be driving under the influence?
- A .02 percent or higher
- B .05 percent or higher
- C .08 percent or higher
- D .10 percent or higher
Show answer
C. .08 percent or higher
Drivers 21 and older are legally under the influence at a BAC of .08 percent or higher. You can still be convicted below .08 if your driving is impaired.

You are at a steady red light with no signs prohibiting turns. You want to turn right. What must you do?
- A Wait for the light to turn green before turning
- B Stop fully, then turn when clear, yielding to pedestrians and traffic
- C Stop, then turn only if a green arrow appears
- D Slow down and turn without a full stop if no pedestrians or cars are coming
Show answer
B. Stop fully, then turn when clear, yielding to pedestrians and traffic
Virginia allows a right turn on a steady red after a complete stop. Look both ways, yield to pedestrians and other traffic, and watch for motorcycles, bicycles and mopeds. It is not allowed where a No Turn on Red sign or a red right arrow is shown.
