1. Under Mississippi's graduated licensing rules, how long must a 16-year-old hold a learner's permit before upgrading to a regular Class R license?
- A 3 months
- B 6 months
- C 9 months
- D 12 months
Correct answer: D. Mississippi requires a full twelve-month permit hold before a sixteen-year-old can move up to a Class R license; the wait disappears once you turn seventeen. Remember: one year of practice, or wait until seventeen.
2. You hold a Mississippi intermediate license (Class Y). On a Tuesday night, until what time may you drive without supervision?
- A 9:00 p.m.
- B 10:00 p.m.
- C 11:00 p.m.
- D 11:30 p.m.
Correct answer: B. With a Mississippi intermediate license you may drive alone only until 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, starting again at 6:00 a.m. Nights carry the highest teen crash risk. Hook: school nights end at ten.
3. You have a Mississippi intermediate license and want to drive home alone from a Saturday movie. How late may you drive unsupervised that night?
- A 10:00 p.m.
- B 10:30 p.m.
- C 11:30 p.m.
- D Midnight
Correct answer: C. Mississippi extends intermediate-license driving to 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights; only trips to or from work escape the clock entirely. Weekends buy you ninety extra minutes, and work travel has no curfew.
4. If you are caught cheating on the Mississippi knowledge exam or bring a phone into the testing area, how long must you wait before testing again?
- A 1 year
- B 6 months
- C 90 days
- D 30 days
Correct answer: B. Mississippi cancels the exam on the spot and bars you from retesting for six months if you cheat or carry any electronic device into the testing area. Leave the phone in the car; six months is a long wait.
5. While driving with a Mississippi learner's permit, who must ride with you?
- A A licensed driver at least 21 years old seated beside you
- B Any licensed driver at least 18 years old
- C A parent seated anywhere in the vehicle
- D A licensed driver of any age in the front seat
Correct answer: A. A Mississippi permit holder may drive only when a licensed driver aged twenty-one or older physically occupies the seat next to them. Age and position both matter, so picture a twenty-one-year-old coach riding shotgun.
6. How much does a Mississippi regular learner's permit cost, and how long is it valid?
- A $4, valid one year
- B $10, valid one year
- C $7, valid two years
- D $24, valid four years
Correct answer: C. Mississippi charges seven dollars for a learner's permit that stays valid for two years, matching the two-year life of your exam score. Pay with cash or card; personal checks are refused. Think: lucky seven, two years.
7. You hold a Mississippi hardship license at age 16. Which statement about cell phone use while you drive is true?
- A Hands-free calls are allowed
- B You may call only your parents
- C Calls are allowed but texting is banned
- D All cell phone use is banned, even hands-free
Correct answer: D. Mississippi's hardship license bans every form of cell phone use behind the wheel, including hands-free calls, because new drivers cannot spare any attention. Hardship rule of thumb: the phone stays completely silent until you park.
8. What is the maximum speed for any vehicle in a Mississippi school zone?
- A 10 mph
- B 15 mph
- C 20 mph
- D 25 mph
Correct answer: B. Mississippi caps every vehicle at 15 mph in school zones because children step out unpredictably and short stopping distances save lives. Memory hook: fifteen for the under-fifteens, so slow to a crawl wherever kids cross.
9. Traffic is light on a Mississippi interstate. What is the slowest you are normally allowed to travel?
- A There is no minimum speed
- B 30 mph
- C 40 mph
- D 45 mph
Correct answer: C. Mississippi sets a 40 mph minimum on interstates and four-lane highways because crawling creates dangerous speed gaps that invite rear-end crashes. Pair the interstate numbers mentally: a seventy ceiling and a forty floor.
10. Unless signs say otherwise, what is the maximum speed for a passenger car on a Mississippi two-lane state highway?
- A 40 mph
- B 45 mph
- C 50 mph
- D 55 mph
Correct answer: D. Two-lane state and U.S. highways in Mississippi carry a 55 mph ceiling, lower than the 65 allowed on four-lane routes, because oncoming traffic sits one paint stripe away. Fewer lanes, lower limit: five-five for two lanes.
11. If you are 21 or older and convicted of a first-offense DUI in Mississippi, how long is your license suspended?
- A 30 days
- B 90 days
- C 120 days
- D One year
Correct answer: C. A first DUI conviction in Mississippi suspends your license for 120 days and brings a $250 to $1,000 fine plus up to forty-eight hours in jail. Four months parked: one night out can idle an entire season.
12. Under Mississippi's implied consent law, what happens if you refuse a breath test and are later convicted of a first-offense DUI?
- A Nothing extra, because refusal is your legal right
- B A 90-day suspension is added to the DUI penalty
- C Only an extra fine is added
- D The DUI charge is automatically dropped
Correct answer: B. Driving in Mississippi means you have already consented to chemical testing; refusing adds a 90-day suspension on top of first-offense DUI penalties. Refusal never erases evidence, it just stacks punishment. Consent rides with your keys.
13. You are 18 and driving in Mississippi after drinking, though you are below the adult DUI level. What fine does a first Zero Tolerance DUI conviction carry?
- A $1,000
- B $500
- C $250
- D $100
Correct answer: C. Mississippi's Zero Tolerance law fines underage drivers $250 for a first offense and suspends the license for 120 days. The state punishes any measurable alcohol in young drivers. Hook: two-fifty and four months for one bad decision.
14. A school bus ahead of you on a Mississippi two-lane road stops with red lights flashing and its stop arm out. What must you do?
- A Stop at least 10 feet from the bus, whichever direction you are traveling
- B Slow to 15 mph and pass with caution
- C Stop only if you are behind the bus
- D Honk and wait for the driver to wave you past
Correct answer: A. Mississippi law requires every driver, from either direction on an undivided road, to stop at least ten feet from a bus loading children and stay stopped until its lights quit flashing. Ten feet keeps small pedestrians visible.
15. In Mississippi, how close to a fire hydrant may you legally park?
- A No closer than 10 feet
- B No closer than 15 feet
- C No closer than 20 feet
- D No closer than 30 feet
Correct answer: A. Mississippi bans parking within ten feet of a fire hydrant so crews can hook hoses instantly during a fire; a blocked hydrant costs precious seconds. Picture one car length of clear curb around every hydrant.
16. Who publishes the official Mississippi driver manual?
- A STATE OF MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The official Mississippi Driver Manual cover says STATE OF MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. Testers invent leftover federal test-admin agencies. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
17. You need to confirm a Mississippi permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) website or official Mississippi driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. Practice sites, including this one, can be wrong or out of date. Mississippi's DPS publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Mississippi page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Mississippi roads?
- A The Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Mississippi law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are Mississippi law, explained by the DPS. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Mississippi version, not a generic US version.
19. Who publishes the official Mississippi book used for the computerized exam?
- A STATE OF MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Mississippi Driver Manual cover says STATE OF MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. Testers invent leftover federal exam names. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
20. Where is the official Mississippi driver handbook published?
- A By the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The DPS publishes the Mississippi handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Mississippi?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Mississippi lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the DPS. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. How many questions are on the official Mississippi Computerized Exam?
- A 20
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The DPS publishes a 20-question Computerized Exam in Mississippi. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 20. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Mississippi Computerized Exam?
- A 16
- B 1
- C 20
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Mississippi requires 16 correct out of 20 on the Computerized Exam. That is the DPS's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. What passing score does the DPS publish for the Mississippi Computerized Exam?
- A 80%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Mississippi Computerized Exam. Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 80%.
25. For a driver 21 or older in Mississippi, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Mississippi sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and Mississippi can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Mississippi are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Mississippi uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: 0.02%. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Mississippi, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Mississippi?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Mississippi's highest posted highway limit is 70 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Mississippi is signed at the state maximum.
28. Can you take the official Mississippi Computerized Exam from home on the internet?
- A No. The DPS gives the Computerized Exam in person, not as a take-home web exam
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The DPS administers the Mississippi Computerized Exam in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the DPS lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.
29. Which fee listing matches what the DPS currently publishes for a Mississippi permit or license application?
- A Learner's permit: $7 (valid two years). Class R regular license: $24 for four years or $47 for eight years. Printed driver's manual: $3. Fees are payable by cash, debit, or credit only.
- B There is never a fee in Mississippi
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DPS lists this Mississippi amount: Learner's permit: $7 (valid two years). Class R regular license: $24 for four years or $47 for eight years. Printed driver's manual: $3. Fees are payable by cash, debit, or credit only.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
30. Which statement correctly describes Mississippi's published graduated-licensing rules for new drivers?
- A Mississippi issues a learner's permit at 15, which allows driving only with a licensed driver 21 or older in the seat beside you; the permit must be held at least twelve months (out-of-state permit time counts, and the wait disappears at 17). The intermediate license (Class Y) then limits unsupervised driving to 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6:00 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with no time restriction for driving to or from work. At all other hours a parent, guardian, or other licensed driver 21 or older must occupy the seat beside the driver.
- B New drivers in Mississippi may drive alone on a permit with no supervising adult at any hour.
- C Mississippi has no night, passenger, or practice-hour rules for teens.
- D A Mississippi permit is valid nationwide as a full unrestricted license.
Correct answer: A. Mississippi's GDL summary from the DPS: Mississippi issues a learner's permit at 15, which allows driving only with a licensed driver 21 or older in the seat beside you; the permit must be held at least twelve months (out-of-state permit time counts, and the wait disappears at 17). The intermediate license (Class Y) then limits unsupervised driving to 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6:00 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with no time restriction for driving to or from work. At all other hours a parent, guardian, or other licensed driver 21 or older must occupy the seat beside the driver. Those details — hours, passengers, practice logs — are what real exams poke at. Reread them the night before you test.
31. How long must a Mississippi learner's permit be held before an intermediate license, and when does that wait disappear?
- A At least twelve months; the wait disappears at 17 (out-of-state permit time counts)
- B 90 days at every age
- C Six months, and 17 changes nothing
- D Until age 18
Correct answer: A. Mississippi issues a learner's permit at 15 with a licensed driver 21 or older beside you. The permit must be held at least twelve months; out-of-state permit time counts, and the wait disappears at 17. Do not invent a published knowledge-test retake wait — that field is still needs_review.
32. On a Friday or Saturday, until what time may a Mississippi Class Y intermediate driver operate without a supervisor?
- A 11:30 p.m.
- B 10:00 p.m. every night
- C Midnight
- D 6:00 a.m. only
Correct answer: A. Class Y limits unsupervised driving to 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6:00 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with no time restriction for driving to or from work. At all other hours a parent, guardian, or other licensed driver 21 or older must sit beside the driver.
33. How long does a passing Mississippi Computerized Exam score stay valid?
- A Two years
- B 90 days
- C Six months
- D Until the 16th birthday only
Correct answer: A. A passing Computerized Exam score stays valid for two years. Anyone caught cheating or with an electronic device in the testing area has the test cancelled and cannot retest for six months. A routine fail wait is not published on official pages.
34. Sunday through Thursday, when may a Mississippi Class Y driver operate unsupervised, aside from work trips?
- A 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
- B 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
- C Anytime
- D Sunrise to noon
Correct answer: A. Weeknight unsupervised hours are 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Weekend nights stretch to 11:30 p.m. Memorizing only one window misses half the Class Y questions.
35. You see a pedestrian with a white cane, which may have a red tip, at a Mississippi crosswalk. What should you do?
- A Come to a complete stop and extend every courtesy so they can finish crossing
- B Tap the horn so they can locate you
- C Keep your speed if your light is green
- D Pass within two feet
Correct answer: A. Mississippi tells drivers to watch for pedestrians carrying a white cane, which may have a red tip, and to take every precaution at intersections and crosswalks. Come to a complete stop if needed. A horn startles someone using sound to navigate.
36. A funeral procession is moving through a Mississippi intersection. What does the manual say about right-of-way?
- A Although not required by law, common courtesy is to yield to funeral processions
- B You must legally cut through if your light is green
- C Honk to break the line
- D Funeral traffic has no special mention
Correct answer: A. Mississippi’s manual notes that although it is not required by law, common courtesy is to yield the right-of-way to funeral processions. If you are in a motorcade, leave space so other vehicles can enter safely without following too closely.
37. When must you dim headlights for other traffic in Mississippi?
- A Within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or when following within 500 feet
- B Within 50 feet only
- C Never; high beams are always legal
- D Only inside city limits
Correct answer: A. Mississippi requires low beams when you approach within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or when you are following within 500 feet of another vehicle. Do not drive with only parking lights. High beams belong on open country without nearby cars.
38. A Mississippi school bus is stopped in a loading zone that is part of or next to the highway, where pedestrians are not allowed to cross. Must opposite or passing traffic stop?
- A No. You do not have to stop in that loading-zone case
- B Yes, every vehicle on the highway must stop
- C Only trucks must stop
- D Only after 3 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Mississippi generally requires a stop for a school bus with flashing red lights or an extended stop sign, including from both directions on an undivided road. The exception is a loading zone on or next to the highway where pedestrians may not cross the roadway.
39. Which Mississippi no-parking distances does the official driver’s manual list?
- A 10 feet from a hydrant, 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection, 30 feet from a traffic-control device, and 15 feet from the nearest rail
- B 5 feet for every item
- C 50 feet for every item
- D No listed distances
Correct answer: A. Mississippi forbids parking within ten feet of a fire hydrant, twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, thirty feet of the approach to any traffic-control device, and fifteen feet of the nearest rail at a railroad crossing. The 10 / 20 / 30 / 15 set is the written-test list, and the hydrant number is shorter than in many states.
40. When must Mississippi headlights be used besides open-country night driving?
- A Between sunset and sunrise, and any other time you cannot see clearly ahead for 500 feet; parking lights are not a substitute
- B Only after 10 p.m.
- C Never in fog
- D Only on interstates
Correct answer: A. Mississippi says use your lights between sunset and sunrise and at any other time you cannot see clearly ahead for 500 feet. Do not drive with only parking lights. Use the lower beam when approaching or following another car, where there are streetlights, and in fog day or night.
41. You are on a Mississippi divided highway with four or more lanes. A school bus is stopped on the other side. Must you stop?
- A No. Opposite-direction traffic on that divided highway may continue; same-direction traffic still must stop
- B Yes. Every vehicle on any road must stop
- C Only trucks must stop
- D Only if the bus driver waves
Correct answer: A. Mississippi generally requires a stop for a school bus regardless of your direction of travel. The listed exception is a divided highway with four or more lanes and at least two lanes each way: opposite-direction traffic may continue, while same-direction traffic must still stop until children are clear, the bus moves, the red lights stop, and the stop sign retracts.
42. A Mississippi traffic signal is a flashing yellow light. What must you do?
- A Slow down and exercise caution
- B Treat it exactly like a stop sign
- C Speed up to clear the intersection
- D Ignore it if no one is coming from the left
Correct answer: A. Mississippi says a flashing yellow light means you must slow down and exercise caution. It is not a free pass and it is not a stop sign. Check cross traffic and pedestrians, then proceed only when the way is clear.
43. A Mississippi traffic light is flashing red. What must you do?
- A Stop completely, then proceed with caution after yielding the right-of-way
- B Treat it as a yield sign
- C Treat it as a green light in rain
- D Wait for a circular green
Correct answer: A. Mississippi says a flashing red light means you must stop completely and proceed with caution, yielding the right-of-way at the intersection. A flashing yellow at the same kind of location is only a slow-and-caution display.
44. You approach a malfunctioning Mississippi traffic light. What should you do?
- A Slow down, proceed with caution, and be ready to yield as you would at an uncontrolled or four-way situation
- B Treat the dark head as a green light
- C Speed through so you do not block others
- D Ignore other drivers
Correct answer: A. Mississippi warns that you will sometimes encounter a malfunctioning traffic light. Slow down, use caution, and yield. Do not assume a dark or stuck head is yours to take. The flashing-yellow chapter sits next to that warning for a reason.
45. A traffic officer directs you to proceed over a Mississippi railroad crossing. What should you do?
- A Follow the order immediately
- B Wait for the next train to pass first
- C Drive around the gates the other way
- D Get out and walk across
Correct answer: A. Mississippi says if a traffic officer directs you to proceed over a railroad crossing, follow the order immediately. That is the exception to the usual “never beat a train” rule. Still look both ways as you cross.
46. How much room must a Mississippi driver leave when passing a bicycle?
- A A safe distance of at least three feet between the vehicle and the bicycle
- B A Mississippi mirror’s width
- C No extra space in a non-passing zone
- D One foot if the rider is an adult
Correct answer: A. Mississippi tells drivers to leave a safe distance of at least three feet when passing a bicycle. You may pass a same-direction bicycle in a non-passing zone only when it is safe, and you must not cut the rider off with a right turn. Three feet is the Mississippi pass gap testers reuse.
47. An emergency vehicle with lights or siren is parked on the side of a four-lane Mississippi highway. What should you do?
- A Merge into the lane away from it if that is safe; otherwise slow down and be ready to stop
- B Keep the Mississippi posted speed in the near lane
- C Stop in the travel lane until it leaves
- D Pass on the shoulder
Correct answer: A. Mississippi says that if an emergency vehicle with lights or siren is parked along a four-lane highway, merge into the lane away from it when that is safe. If the merge is not safe, slow down and prepare to stop. Yielding is mandatory. Testers skip the parked-on-the-shoulder case and only study moving sirens.
48. A bicycle is ahead of you in a Mississippi no-passing zone. When may you pass it?
- A You may pass in a nonpassing zone, but only when the pass is safe, and you must still leave at least three feet
- B Never; a Mississippi double yellow always forbids passing a bike
- C Anytime if you honk first
- D Only after dark
Correct answer: A. Mississippi’s John Paul Frerer Bicycle Safety Act (63-3-1309) requires at least three feet when you pass a bicyclist and lets a motorist pass a bicycle in a nonpassing zone, but only when it is safe. Testers treat every Mississippi yellow line as an absolute bike-pass ban. The statute carves out a safe pass, and three feet is still the gap.
49. A Mississippi sign marks a center lane for turns. How may you use that lane?
- A Only to make turns; the Mississippi center lane is not for normal travel or passing
- B As a Mississippi passing lane when the right lane is slow
- C As a through lane if you keep a signal on
- D Only trucks may enter a Mississippi center turn lane
Correct answer: A. Mississippi’s sign chapter says a marked center lane is for making turns. It is not available for normal travel or passing. Testers camp in the Mississippi two-way left-turn lane or use it to overtake. Turn, then leave; do not treat it as a third through lane.
50. You approach a Mississippi roundabout or traffic circle. Who goes first, and which way do you enter?
- A Yield to circulating Mississippi traffic, then enter counterclockwise around the island
- B Charge the Mississippi island if your light looks green
- C Enter clockwise against Mississippi circulating cars
- D Stop in the Mississippi circle until someone waves you on
Correct answer: A. Mississippi describes a roundabout or traffic circle as a circular intersection where vehicles travel counterclockwise around a raised island. Entering traffic yields the right-of-way to circulating traffic. Slow down, yield, enter counterclockwise, then signal and exit. Testers cut across a Mississippi circle. Yield to the cars already in it.
51. Which Mississippi vehicles must stop at every railroad crossing, even when lights are not flashing?
- A A school bus carrying even one child, a vehicle for hire carrying passengers, or a vehicle carrying explosives or flammable liquids, stopping 50 to 10 feet from the outer rail
- B Only a Mississippi school bus with children visible at the door
- C Any Mississippi car within 500 feet of tracks
- D Only Mississippi trucks over 26,001 pounds
Correct answer: A. Mississippi requires a school bus carrying even one child, a vehicle for hire carrying passengers, and a vehicle carrying explosives or flammable liquids to stop at every railroad crossing, lights or not. Those drivers stop within 50 to 10 feet of the outer rail, look both ways, then go. Testers pass a stopped Mississippi church-style hire bus. Wait; those vehicles must stop every time.
52. How close to a Mississippi fire-station driveway may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway entrance, or 75 feet on the opposite side when a sign is posted
- B Fifteen feet, the Mississippi hydrant number
- C Against the Mississippi bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Mississippi sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Mississippi forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, or within 75 feet on the opposite side when it is posted. Testers reuse the 10-foot hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five are the firehouse pair, separate from the 10 / 20 / 30 / 15 parking set.
53. May you wear stereo headphones while driving on a Mississippi roadway?
- A No; the Mississippi handbook tells you never to wear stereo headphones while you drive
- B Yes, if the Mississippi volume stays low
- C Only on a Mississippi interstate after 7 p.m.
- D Yes, if you use Mississippi flashers
Correct answer: A. Mississippi’s distraction chapter says never wear stereo headphones while you drive, and never play the car stereo so loudly that you cannot hear warning signals such as whistles and sirens. Testers treat both-ear Mississippi buds as a courtesy miss. One ear open, and keep the cabin quiet enough to hear a siren.
54. When you park on a Mississippi roadway next to a curb, how close must the right-hand wheels sit?
- A Parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand Mississippi curb
- B Within 18 inches only, a number copied from other Mississippi neighbors
- C Against the Mississippi sidewalk if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Mississippi travel lane stays open
Correct answer: A. Mississippi Code 63-3-907 says that except where angle parking is permitted, every vehicle stopped or parked on a roadway with an adjacent curb shall sit with the right-hand wheels parallel with and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Mississippi curb gap.
55. How far before a rural Mississippi railroad crossing is the round yellow RR advance-warning sign normally posted?
- A About 500 to 900 feet in front of those Mississippi tracks
- B A Mississippi car-length if flashers are on
- C Seven hundred fifty Mississippi feet, copied from an Alabama rule
- D Only after the Mississippi locomotive is visible
Correct answer: A. Mississippi’s driver’s manual says the round yellow railroad advance-warning sign, with a black crossbuck and two R’s, is normally posted 500 to 900 feet in front of the tracks in rural areas. It tells you to look, listen, and slow down because you may have to stop. Testers invent a 750-foot Mississippi figure copied from Alabama. Five hundred to 900 feet is the Mississippi rural advance-warning range, separate from the 10-to-50-foot rail stop.
56. May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Mississippi curb?
- A No; Mississippi forbids parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge of the road or the curb
- B Yes, if Mississippi flashers are on
- C Only at night on a Mississippi interstate
- D Yes, if the Mississippi hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. The official Mississippi Driver’s Manual forbids leaving a vehicle parked and unattended on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge of the road or the curb — double parking.

- B Only if Mississippi flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Mississippi interstate
- D If the Mississippi hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Mississippi Driver's Manual on driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov says while driving long distances, take a break every one hundred miles. That 100-mile cue is separate from the already-shipped slow-and-look-both-ways leftover. Testers invent leftover Mississippi drive-for-hours-without-a-stop-if-the-road-looks-empty courtesy. Take-a-break-every-one-hundred-miles leftover from the prior extra.

- A A Mississippi driver shall skip following the same vehicle or group of vehicles for long periods
- B Only if Mississippi flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Mississippi interstate
- D If the Mississippi hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Mississippi Driver's Manual on driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov says do not follow the same vehicle or group of vehicles for long periods; you may become too relaxed and lose your concentration. That no-draft cue is separate from the already-shipped one-hundred-mile break leftover. Testers invent leftover Mississippi draft-the-same-car-all-day courtesy. Skip-following-the-same-vehicle-for-long-periods leftover from the prior extra.
103. Where must a Mississippi driver put both hands on the wheel?
- A A Mississippi driver shall put both hands on the outside of the steering wheel at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, because 2 and 10 o'clock is no longer recommended with airbags
- B Only if Mississippi flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Mississippi interstate
- D If the Mississippi hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Mississippi Driver's Manual on driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov says both hands should be placed on the outside of the steering wheel on opposite sides, at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, to maintain control of the vehicle; placing your hands at 2 and 10 o'clock is no longer recommended because it can be dangerous in a vehicle equipped with airbags. That clock-cue is separate from the already-shipped one-hundred-mile break leftover. Testers invent leftover Mississippi keep-hands-at-2-and-10-like-the-old-chart courtesy. Hands-at-3-and-9-oclock-not-2-and-10-with-airbags leftover from the prior extra.

The official Mississippi Driver's Manual on driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov says do not pass on hills, curves, or within one hundred feet of bridges, viaducts, overpasses, railroad crossings, crosswalks, intersections, or any place where your view is obstructed in any way. That 100-foot no-pass cue is separate from the already-shipped 10/20/30/15 parking-distance leftover. Testers invent leftover Mississippi pass-on-the-bridge-if-the-lane-looks-empty courtesy. Skip-passing-within-one-hundred-feet-of-bridges-crosswalks-and-intersections leftover from the prior extra.
