1. Under the Texas Graduated Driver License program, how long must you hold your learner license before you can move up to a provisional license (unless you turn 18 first)?
- A 30 days
- B 90 days
- C At least six months
- D One full year
Correct answer: C. Texas requires teens to hold a learner license for at least six months before moving to a provisional license. The waiting period guarantees supervised seat time. Memory hook: six months of practice before phase two.
2. You have a Texas provisional license and are under 18. During which hours are you barred from driving unless it is for work, school activities, or an emergency?
- A 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- B Midnight to 5:00 a.m.
- C 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.
- D 9:00 p.m. to midnight
Correct answer: B. Provisional drivers under 18 in Texas may not drive between midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless it is for work, school activities, or an emergency. Late-night crashes are a top teen risk. Remember: midnight to five, stay off the drive.
3. During the provisional phase of the Texas GDL program, how many passengers under 21 who are not family members may ride with you?
- A One
- B Two
- C Three
- D As many as there are seat belts
Correct answer: A. During the provisional phase, Texas lets a driver under 18 carry only one passenger under 21 who is not a family member. Fewer young passengers means fewer distractions. Think: one teen friend at a time.
4. You are 17 and hold a Texas provisional license. What is the rule on using a cellphone or other wireless device while you drive?
- A Hands-free use is allowed
- B Use is allowed only on highways
- C Calls are allowed if a parent is riding along
- D All use is banned, even hands-free, except in an emergency
Correct answer: D. Texas bans all wireless communication device use, even hands-free, for provisional license holders under 18 except in a true emergency. Novice brains juggle driving poorly with any call. Hook: under 18, no screen and no earpiece.
5. Before you take the driving test for a Texas provisional license, how much supervised behind-the-wheel practice must you complete?
- A 20 hours, with 5 at night
- B 30 hours, with at least 10 at night
- C 40 hours, with 15 at night
- D 50 hours, with 20 at night
Correct answer: B. Before the Texas driving test, teens must log 30 hours of behind-the-wheel practice with a licensed driver 21 or older, and at least 10 of those hours at night. Hook: thirty in total, ten after dark.
6. You fail your Texas knowledge exam. What happens after a third failed exam, or once 90 days have passed since you applied?
- A You must wait six months before testing again
- B You may keep testing at no extra charge
- C You must submit a new application and pay the fee again
- D You must repeat your driver education course
Correct answer: C. In Texas, one application and fee buy up to three tries at each exam within 90 days. After a third failure or 90 days, you start over with a new application and fee. Hook: three strikes or ninety days.
7. You receive your Texas learner license at age 15. When does that license expire?
- A On your 18th birthday
- B One year after it is issued
- C Eight years after it is issued
- D On your 21st birthday
Correct answer: A. A Texas learner license is not valid past your 18th birthday, because at 18 the graduated licensing rules no longer apply and you qualify for a standard license. Hook: the learner card retires the day you turn 18.
8. Unless a different limit is posted, what is the maximum speed you may drive in an alley in Texas?
- A 10 mph
- B 15 mph
- C 20 mph
- D 25 mph
Correct answer: B. Unless a different limit is posted, Texas sets alley speed at 15 mph. Alleys are narrow, with hidden driveways and pedestrians stepping out between buildings. Hook: alleys are tight, fifteen is right.
9. You are driving a passenger car on a U.S.-numbered highway outside an urban district in Texas. If no other limit is posted, what is the maximum speed allowed?
- A 60 mph
- B 65 mph
- C 75 mph
- D 70 mph
Correct answer: D. On a U.S.- or Texas-numbered highway outside an urban district, the limit for passenger cars is 70 mph unless another limit is posted. Higher limits need state approval and studies. Hook: numbered road, open country, think seventy.
10. A tow truck is stopped on a Texas road with its lights flashing, and you cannot safely move over a lane. What must you do as you pass?
- A Slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit
- B Continue at the posted limit with extra care
- C Stop completely until the truck leaves
- D Sound your horn and pass on the shoulder
Correct answer: A. Texas's Move Over/Slow Down law covers stopped emergency, tow, utility, and TxDOT vehicles with lights on: you must change lanes away or slow to 20 mph below the posted limit. Hook: move over or minus twenty.
11. You are 19, and a breath test after a Texas traffic stop shows a detectable amount of alcohol below 0.08. For a first offense, how long is your driver license suspended?
- A 30 days
- B 10 days
- C 60 days
- D 180 days
Correct answer: C. Texas zero tolerance: a driver under 21 whose test confirms any detectable alcohol loses the license for 60 days on a first offense. The state treats any sip as too many for minors. Hook: first slip, sixty days.
12. What is the maximum fine for a first DWI conviction for an adult driver in Texas?
- A Up to $500
- B Up to $1,000
- C Up to $4,000
- D Up to $2,000
Correct answer: D. A first DWI conviction in Texas brings a fine of up to $2,000, 72 hours to 180 days in jail, and a 90-to-365-day license suspension. Penalties climb steeply on repeat offenses. Hook: first DWI, two grand cap.
13. You take a breath test in Texas that shows a BAC of 0.08 or more. For a first offense, how long may your license be suspended under the Administrative License Revocation program?
- A 90 days
- B 30 days
- C 180 days
- D Two years
Correct answer: A. Under Texas Administrative License Revocation, failing a breath or blood test at 0.08 or higher triggers a 90-day suspension for a first offense, and up to 365 days for later ones. Hook: fail the test, lose ninety.
14. In Texas, what fine do you face for a first conviction of passing a school bus that has its red lights flashing?
- A $100 to $200
- B $500 to $1,250
- C $2,000 to $4,000
- D $25 to $99
Correct answer: B. Passing a Texas school bus with flashing red lights costs $500 to $1,250 for a first conviction; repeat offenses within five years can reach $2,000 plus possible suspension. Hook: red flash means stop, or pay four figures.
15. When does Texas law require you to turn on your headlights in the evening?
- A At sunset exactly
- B Whenever streetlights come on
- C One hour after sunset
- D Beginning 30 minutes after sunset
Correct answer: D. Texas law requires headlights from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise, and whenever you cannot clearly see people or vehicles 1,000 feet ahead. Hook: half an hour on each side of the sun.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Texas?
- A Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Texas, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Texas permit. When in doubt, start at the DPS site.
17. You need to confirm a Texas permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) website or official Texas 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. Texas's DPS publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Texas page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Texas roads?
- A The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Texas 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 Texas law, explained by the DPS. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Texas version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DPS officially call the Texas permit written exam?
- A Class C knowledge exam, also known as the written exam
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The Texas Driver Handbook says the Class C knowledge exam, also known as the written exam, is taken at the driver license office. There are three types of knowledge exams. Class C is the knowledge exam for all original applicants.
20. Where is the official Texas driver handbook published?
- A By the Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Texas 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. What passing score does the DPS publish for the Texas Class C knowledge exam (also called the written exam)?
- A 70%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 70% to pass the Texas Class C knowledge exam (also called the written exam). Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 70%.
23. For a driver 21 or older in Texas, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Texas 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 Texas can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
24. Drivers under 21 in Texas are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A any detectable amount
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Texas uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: any detectable amount. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Texas, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
25. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Texas is:
- A 30 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Texas's typical unposted residential / city default is 30 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 30 mph and watch the next plaque.
26. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Texas?
- A 85 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Texas's highest posted highway limit is 85 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Texas is signed at the state maximum.
27. Does the DPS offer any online option for the Texas Class C knowledge exam (also called the written exam)?
- A Yes, in some cases — check eligibility on the official site
- B No, never, for any applicant
- C Only through a social-media quiz
- D Only if you already hold a CDL
Correct answer: A. Texas does offer an online knowledge-test path for some applicants. Eligibility, ID rules, and camera rules change, so confirm them on the DPS site before you plan around it. An online test still means no handbook in your lap.
28. Which fee listing matches what the DPS currently publishes for a Texas permit or license application?
- A $16 (learner license, under 18; expires on your 18th birthday). A new Class C license for ages 18-84 is $33.
- B There is never a fee in Texas
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DPS lists this Texas amount: $16 (learner license, under 18; expires on your 18th birthday). A new Class C license for ages 18-84 is $33.. 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.
29. If you fail the Texas Class C knowledge exam (also called the written exam), which statement matches the DPS's published retake rule?
- A One application and fee cover up to three attempts at each exam; if you fail, your application is held open for 90 days. After three failed exams or 90 days, you must submit a new application and pay the fee again; DPS does not publish a minimum wait between attempts.
- B You are banned from driving in Texas for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The DPS never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. Texas's published retake rule is: One application and fee cover up to three attempts at each exam; if you fail, your application is held open for 90 days. After three failed exams or 90 days, you must submit a new application and pay the fee again; DPS does not publish a minimum wait between attempts. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
30. What does the DPS publish about languages for the Texas knowledge test?
- A English and Spanish (DPS supplies the Class C knowledge exam to driver education schools in English or in both English and Spanish)
- B English only in every office, with no exceptions listed
- C Latin and Esperanto only
- D The test is offered as a mime exam with no written language
Correct answer: A. Language options in Texas: English and Spanish (DPS supplies the Class C knowledge exam to driver education schools in English or in both English and Spanish) Ask at the office or on the DPS site when you schedule, because not every location stocks every language every day. Bring an interpreter only if the DPS says that is allowed.
31. A Texas provisional driver wants to use a wireless phone hands-free while solo. What does DPS say?
- A Hands-free is always allowed
- B Provisional drivers may not use wireless devices, even hands-free
- C Only video calls are banned
- D Phones are required so parents can track the car
Correct answer: B. Texas GDL bans wireless-device use for provisional drivers, including hands-free. The point is attention, not whether you are holding the phone. Park and call, or wait until you hold an unrestricted license.
32. During which hours does Texas generally bar a provisional driver from driving, aside from work, school activities, or emergencies?
- A 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- B Midnight to 5:00 a.m.
- C Noon to 1 p.m.
- D There is no night restriction in Texas
Correct answer: B. Texas provisional drivers may not drive from midnight to 5:00 a.m. except for work, school activities, or emergencies. The window is the overnight dead zone testers ask about. Midnight to five, stay home unless an exception applies.
33. How many non-family passengers under 21 may a Texas provisional driver carry?
- A As many as the seat belts allow
- B Only one non-family passenger under 21
- C Three, if they all live in the same county
- D None, ever, including family
Correct answer: B. Texas limits provisional drivers to one non-family passenger under 21. Family members do not count against that cap the same way. One friend, not a carpool of classmates — that is the Texas passenger rule testers want.
34. Unless a sign says otherwise, what default speed does Texas use in an urban district?
- A 25 mph
- B 30 mph
- C 55 mph
- D 85 mph on every city street
Correct answer: B. Texas is one of the states whose urban-district default is 30 mph, not the 25 mph many other states use. The famous 85 mph figure is a posted highway maximum on a few roads, not a city-street speed. Read the sign; if none, think 30 in town.
35. How much supervised practice does Texas require before a teen moves from a learner license to a provisional license?
- A 10 hours, all in daylight
- B 30 hours, including at least 10 at night with a licensed driver 21 or older
- C 50 hours, including 15 at night
- D No practice log is required in Texas
Correct answer: B. Texas requires 30 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice, and at least 10 of those hours must be at night with a licensed driver 21 or older. That sits on top of holding the learner license for six months. Thirty total, ten after dark.
36. What passing grade does the Texas Driver Handbook publish for the Class C knowledge exam?
- A 50 percent
- B 70 percent or better
- C 90 percent
- D A perfect score is required
Correct answer: B. DPS publishes a 70 percent passing grade for the Class C knowledge exam and does not publish a fixed question count. Practice until you are well above 70 so one hard cluster does not drop you under the line.
37. Which Texas no-parking distances does the Driver Handbook list?
- A 15 feet from a hydrant, 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection, 30 feet from a roadside signal or stop sign, and 50 feet from the nearest rail
- B 10 feet for every item
- C 50 feet for every item
- D No listed distances
Correct answer: A. Texas forbids parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, 30 feet of the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or other roadside traffic-control signal, and 50 feet of the nearest rail. Learn 15 / 20 / 30 / 50 as a set.
38. How far before a Texas turn or stop must you signal continuously?
- A At least 100 feet
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the turn
- D 500 feet in every city
Correct answer: A. Texas requires a continuous signal for at least 100 feet before turning or stopping, then turning the signal off when the move is complete. An unintended leftover blinker still means “turn” to everyone behind you.
39. Besides 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise, when must Texas headlights be on?
- A Anytime individuals or vehicles cannot be seen clearly for at least 1,000 feet
- B Only after 10 p.m.
- C Never in fog
- D Only on interstates
Correct answer: A. Texas requires headlights beginning 30 minutes after sunset and ending 30 minutes before sunrise, or anytime people or vehicles cannot be seen clearly for at least 1,000 feet. Use low beams within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle and within 300 feet when following. Do not overdrive the distance your lights show.
40. A pedestrian in Texas is guided by an assistance animal or is carrying a white cane. What must you do?
- A Take the precautions needed to avoid injuring them, including a full stop if that is the only way to avoid danger
- B Tap the horn and squeeze past
- C Keep your speed if your light is green
- D Pass within two feet
Correct answer: A. Texas says a white cane means the person may be blind, partially blind, or disabled. A driver must take the precautions needed to avoid injuring a pedestrian who is crossing or attempting to cross, and must bring the vehicle to a full stop if injury or danger can only be avoided that way.
41. When a Texas railroad signal warns of a train, how far from the nearest rail must you stop?
- A Between 15 and 50 feet
- B Five feet
- C On the first rail
- D One hundred feet every time
Correct answer: A. Texas requires a stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail when a railroad signal, lowered gate, or flag person warns of a train. Stopping on the tracks or too far back both create hazards.
42. A Texas traffic signal shows a flashing yellow arrow for a left turn. What does it allow?
- A You may turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic
- B You may turn left without yielding
- C The left turn is prohibited
- D It applies only at night
Correct answer: A. Texas says a flashing yellow arrow allows a left turn, but you must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic. It is not a green arrow. Oncoming cars still have a through movement.
43. How close to a Texas fire-station driveway may you park on the same side of the street?
- A No closer than 20 feet, and 75 feet on the opposite side
- B 15 feet both sides
- C 50 feet both sides
- D You may block the driveway after 9 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Texas forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway entrance and, on the opposite side of the street, within 75 feet of that entrance. The extra opposite-side distance keeps the path clear for departing apparatus.
44. A Texas flashing yellow light is showing. What should you do?
- A Slow down and proceed with caution
- B Stop as at a stop sign
- C Speed up to beat the next red
- D Wait for a green arrow
Correct answer: A. Texas says a flashing yellow light warns drivers to slow down and proceed with caution. A flashing yellow arrow for left turns is the turn-lane version of the same caution-and-yield idea already in the bank.
45. When a Texas railroad signal, gate, or flagger warns of a train, how far from the nearest rail must you stop?
- A Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail
- B With your bumper on the rail
- C At least 100 feet in every city
- D Only if you can see the locomotive
Correct answer: A. Texas says when approaching a railroad grade crossing, stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail if a railroad signal warns of a train, a crossing gate is lowered, or a flagger is signaling. Do not drive around a lowered gate.
46. How do you drive through a modern Texas roundabout?
- A Slow down, yield to traffic already in the circle, travel counterclockwise, then signal and turn right to exit
- B Enter from the left at arterial speed
- C Stop in the island
- D Change lanes while you are in a multi-lane circle
Correct answer: A. Texas says a modern roundabout is a one-way circular intersection that uses yield signs rather than traffic lights. Slow down, yield to traffic already in the circle, travel counterclockwise, and make a right turn to exit. In a multi-lane roundabout, pick the correct entry lane from the advance sign and do not change lanes in the circle.
47. How much following distance does the Texas Driver Handbook recommend behind a motorcycle?
- A At least four to six seconds so the rider can stop or swerve
- B The same one-second Texas gap you use behind a car
- C A bumper-to-tire gap
- D No extra space if the motorcycle is in a lane
Correct answer: A. Texas says the slightest contact can spill a rider, so allow more following distance — at least four to six seconds — when you follow a motorcycle. That extra time lets the motorcyclist maneuver or stop. Testers keep a two-second car habit. In Texas, two wheels get the longer count.
48. A Texas sign shows a U-turn arrow inside a red circle with a slash. What does it mean at that intersection?
- A Making a U-turn at that intersection is prohibited
- B U-turns are required in Texas at that corner
- C Only trucks may turn around there
- D The sign is advisory and you may ignore it at night
Correct answer: A. Texas regulatory signs with a red circle and slash forbid the maneuver shown. A U-turn symbol under that slash means you must not make a complete turn to go the opposite way at that intersection. Testers treat it as a warning. In Texas it is a prohibition.
49. Are Texas bicyclists restricted to the right lane of traffic?
- A No; a bicycle is a vehicle, and riders are not restricted to the right lane — for example on a one-way multi-lane street or when changing lanes to turn left
- B Yes; Texas bikes must hug the right curb at all times
- C Only after dark
- D Only outside city limits
Correct answer: A. Texas says a bicycle is a vehicle and a rider has the same rights and responsibilities as a driver. Bicyclists are not restricted to the right lane. One-way multi-lane streets are one example; changing lanes to turn left is another. Testers invent a Texas curb-hug rule. Expect a rider in the left lane when the path requires it.
50. Which Texas vehicles may show flashing red lights on the front?
- A Emergency vehicles, school buses, and church buses
- B Any Texas pickup used for a funeral
- C Only marked patrol cars
- D No Texas vehicle may show a front flashing red
Correct answer: A. Texas generally bars flashing red lights on the front of a vehicle, with listed exceptions: emergency vehicles, school buses, and church buses. Testers skip the church bus. A flashing red on the front of a Texas church bus is legal equipment, not a fake emergency light.
51. A Texas pedestrian hybrid beacon at a marked crosswalk is showing alternating flashing red. What must you do?
- A Stop, then go if the Texas crosswalk is clear
- B Treat the Texas flash like a green through-arrow
- C Speed up so you clear the Texas beacon before it goes dark
- D Wait through a new Texas red cycle no matter what
Correct answer: A. A Texas pedestrian hybrid beacon is dark until a pedestrian calls it. Drivers then see flashing yellow, steady yellow, steady red, then alternating flashing red — stop, then go if clear — before it goes dark again. Testers treat every Texas hybrid red as a stuck light. The alternating flash is a stop-then-go once the marked crosswalk is empty.
52. A Texas HOV Preferential Lane sign limits buses and carpool vehicles. When may those vehicles use that lane?
- A Only between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., Monday through Friday
- B Anytime a Texas diamond is painted on the pavement
- C Nights and weekends only
- D Whenever a Texas solo driver keeps the right blinker on
Correct answer: A. The Texas handbook’s HOV Preferential Lane sign says buses and vehicles used for carpools may use that lane only between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., Monday through Friday. Testers treat every Texas diamond as an all-day carpool lane. The posted weekday morning window is the item.
53. Texas light-rail trains share city streets and are quieter than most buses and cars. What does the handbook say about driving near the tracks?
- A Do not drive, stop, or park on the Texas tracks; cross only at a designated crossing after you look both ways
- B Draft the Texas train at one car length
- C Park on the Texas rails if your hazards are on
- D Treat a Texas quiet train like a bicycle in the lane
Correct answer: A. Texas light rail moves on city streets and is quieter than most buses and cars. The handbook says do not drive, stop, or park on the tracks — it is dangerous and illegal. Cross only at designated crossings, look both ways because trains travel in both directions, and obey lights, gates, and signs. Testers treat a quiet Texas train like ordinary traffic. Stay off the rails.
54. How far from a Texas curb or road edge may you finish a parallel park?
- A No more than 18 inches from the Texas curb or edge of the road; about 6 inches is the handbook target
- B Within 12 inches only, a number copied from other states
- C Flush against a Texas hydrant
- D Three Texas feet out if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Texas’s parallel-parking steps say you should be about six inches from the curb and must not park more than 18 inches from the curb or edge of the road. Testers copy a flat 12-inch number. Six-to-eighteen is the Texas curb range, separate from the 20 / 75 fire-station pair.
55. A Texas fire truck is answering an alarm, or an ambulance is running flashing red lights. How close may you follow, and where may you drive or park?
- A Do not follow within 500 feet, and do not drive or park on the Texas street where that fire truck answered the alarm
- B Draft two car lengths behind the Texas lights
- C Park against the Texas hose if flashers are on
- D Follow into the Texas block so you can watch
Correct answer: A. Texas says you may not follow within 500 feet of a fire truck answering an alarm or an ambulance showing flashing red lights. Do not drive or park on the street where the fire truck answered the alarm, and do not park where you block an ambulance arriving or leaving. Testers invent a 200-foot Texas follow. Five hundred feet plus the street ban is the pair.
56. May you park on the road side of a vehicle already stopped at a Texas curb?
- A No; Texas forbids parking on the road side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb
- B Yes, if Texas flashers are on
- C Only at night on a Texas interstate
- D Yes, if the Texas hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. The Texas Driver Handbook’s do-not-park-stop-or-stand list starts with the road side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street — double parking. Testers squeeze alongside a Texas curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 6-to-18-inch curb extra.
57. A train approaching a Texas crossing is giving an audible warning. How far away may that train still be when you must already treat it as an immediate hazard?
- A Within about 1,500 feet of the Texas crossing
- B Within 500 feet only, a number copied from other Texas neighbors
- C Within 200 feet if Texas flashers are on
- D Only after the Texas locomotive reaches the pavement
Correct answer: A. The Texas Driver Handbook requires a stop when an approaching train is within about 1,500 feet of the crossing and produces an audible signal that identifies the immediate hazard. Testers wait until the Texas locomotive is on the pavement. Fifteen hundred feet of horn is already a stop, separate from the 15-to-50-foot rail gap.
58. When may a bicycle stop, stand, or park on a Texas sidewalk?
- A When that Texas bicycle does not impede the normal and reasonable movement of pedestrian or other sidewalk traffic
- B Anytime Texas flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Texas block
- D Never; Texas forbids every sidewalk bicycle stop
Correct answer: A. The Texas Driver Handbook says a person may stop, stand, or park a bicycle on a sidewalk if the bicycle does not impede the normal and reasonable movement of pedestrian or other traffic on the sidewalk. Testers treat every Texas sidewalk as a no-bike stall. A bicycle that still leaves a walking path may stop there, separate from the 15 / 20 / 30 / 50 set extra.
59. May you park in the striped area beside a Texas disabled parking space, or in a striped area in front of a business entrance next to that space?
- A No; those Texas striped areas are reserved for wheelchair lifts
- B Yes, if Texas flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Texas lot
- D Yes, if the Texas hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. The Texas Driver Handbook says do not park in striped areas adjacent to disabled parking spaces or in a striped area in front of an entrance to a business adjacent to a disabled parking space. Those stripes are for wheelchair lifts. Testers treat the hash as leftover stall space. The lift path stays open, separate from the sidewalk-bicycle extra.

- D No Texas sight rule if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook says never park or leave a vehicle standing on the paved part of a highway outside a business or residential district when you can park off the road. If you cannot, leave room to pass, be sure the vehicle can be seen for at least 200 feet from each direction, and at night use parking lights or leave headlights on dim. Testers invent a short Texas glow. Two hundred feet each way is the rural pair, separate from the $500-to-$750 disabled-space extra.
62. May you block an access or curb ramp on a Texas street or lot?
- A No; Texas law specifically forbids blocking an access or curb ramp

The walk stays for people, separate from the $500-to-$750 disabled-space extra.
64. May you park, stop, or stand a vehicle within a Texas intersection?

- D Yes, if the Texas hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook forbids parking, stopping, or standing a vehicle on any railroad track.

- B Leave a Texas engine idling if flashers are on
- C Leave the Texas keys in the dash after 9 p.m.
- D Skip the Texas brake if the hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook says it is illegal to permit a car to stand idling unattended without turning off the engine, locking the ignition, removing the key, and setting the brake, and when standing on any grade without turning the front wheels to the curb or side of the road. A remote starter that starts the engine without the key in the ignition is a listed exception until the key is in the vehicle. Testers leave a Texas stick-shift rolling toward the street. Engine, key, brake, and wheels are the set, separate from the driveway extra.
70. How close to a Texas safety zone may you park, stop, or stand?
- A No closer than between that Texas safety zone and the adjacent curb, or within 30 feet of a place on the curb immediately opposite the end of the safety zone
- B Fifteen Texas feet, the hydrant number reused here
- C Fifty Texas feet, the rail number reused here
- D Against the Texas island if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook forbids parking, stopping, or standing between a safety zone and the adjacent curb, or within 30 feet of a place on the curb immediately opposite the end of a safety zone. That safety-zone buffer is a different line from the 30-foot roadside-signal approach in the 15/20/30/50 set extra. Testers reuse the 15-foot Texas hydrant guess at the island. Thirty feet is the Texas safety-zone gap, separate from the unattended-vehicle extra.

- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Texas interstate
- D Anytime the Texas hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook says a bicyclist must hug the right only when a car and a bicycle can share the lane safely, and that the rider may take the full lane when overtaking, preparing a left onto a street or driveway, facing unsafe objects, parked cars, pedestrians, animals, potholes, or debris, or when the lane is of substandard width. Testers squeeze a Texas rider into the gutter. The full lane is allowed, separate from the right-lane extra.
73. What is the most common Texas car-bicycle crash caused by a motorist at an intersection?

- D No extra look if the Texas hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook says the most common motorist-caused car-bicycle crashes include a left turn in front of oncoming bicycle traffic, because that traffic is often overlooked or its speed is misjudged. Testers treat a Texas bike like a slow pedestrian. Look left and judge the speed, separate from the merge-for-right extra.
74. You pull away from a Texas stop sign and a bicyclist is crossing the intersection. Who goes first?

- B The Texas motor vehicle always goes first if flashers are on
- C The rider waits after 9 p.m. on a Texas curb
- D Skip the yield if the Texas hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook lists a motorist who pulls away from a stop sign and fails to yield to bicycle cross traffic among the most common car-bicycle crashes, and says right-of-way rules apply equally to motor vehicles and bicycles at intersections. Testers roll a Texas stop as if the bike were leftover shoulder traffic. Yield first, separate from the left-cross extra.
75. What do Texas shared-lane markings help a bicyclist do beside parallel-parked cars or in a lane too narrow to share?
- A Set a safer Texas lateral position, alert others where a bike may sit, encourage a safe pass, and cut wrong-way riding
- B Force a Texas rider against the hydrant if flashers are on
- C Ban Texas bikes after 9 p.m.
- D Mean the Texas lane is curb if the hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Texas Driver Handbook says shared-lane markings may help cyclists with lateral position next to parallel-parked cars so an opened door is less likely, help position in a lane too narrow for a car and a bike side by side, alert road users where cyclists may sit, encourage safe passing, and reduce wrong-way riding. Testers squeeze a Texas rider into the door zone. Those five uses are leftover from the stop-sign yield extra.

You must stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection if you can do so safely. If a stop cannot be made safely, you may proceed cautiously through the intersection before the light changes to red. That circular yellow is separate from the already-shipped flashing yellow regular question. Testers invent leftover Texas gun-it-to-beat-the-red courtesy. Circular-yellow-stop-before-nearest-crosswalk-if-safe-else-caution leftover from the prior extra.
