1. On Virginia's two-part knowledge exam, what must you do before you are allowed to start the general knowledge section?
- A Answer at least 8 of the 10 traffic sign questions
- B Answer all 10 traffic sign questions correctly
- C Score 80% across both parts combined
- D Complete the road skills test
Correct answer: B. Virginia's exam begins with 10 traffic sign questions, and every one must be correct before the general knowledge section opens. Signs are treated as non-negotiable basics — remember, a perfect signs score unlocks part two.
2. Part two of the Virginia knowledge exam has 30 general knowledge questions. How many must you answer correctly to pass?
- A 20
- B 27
- C 24
- D 30
Correct answer: C. Virginia requires at least 24 correct answers on the 30-question general knowledge part, which works out to 80%. Unlike the signs section, a few misses are allowed here. Think 24 of 30, or simply four-fifths.
3. You are 16 and fail the Virginia knowledge exam. How long must you wait before you can take it again?
- A One business day
- B A full 15 days
- C 30 days
- D Until your next birthday
Correct answer: B. Applicants under 18 who fail Virginia's knowledge exam must wait a full 15 days before retesting, while adults may test once per day. The pause pushes teens to restudy the manual — fail as a teen, wait fifteen days.
4. After failing the Virginia knowledge exam three times, what must you do before you can test a fourth time?
- A Complete the classroom part of a Virginia-approved driver training program
- B Wait six months and reapply
- C Pay a $50 re-examination fee
- D Take an oral exam instead
Correct answer: A. Three failures in Virginia trigger a mandatory classroom course at an approved driver training school, completed after the third failure, before any fourth attempt. Three strikes doesn't end the process — it sends you back to class.
5. If you are under 18, how long must you hold a Virginia learner's permit before you can receive a driver's license?
- A 60 days
- B Six months
- C At least nine months
- D One full year
Correct answer: C. Virginia requires drivers under 18 to hold their learner's permit at least nine months and finish driver education before licensure. The long practice window builds experience — roughly a school year behind the wheel with supervision.
6. Before you can get a Virginia driver's license as a teen under 18, how much practice driving must your parent or guardian certify?
- A 30 hours, with 5 after sunset
- B 40 hours, all in daylight
- C 50 hours, with 10 at night
- D 45 hours, with 15 after sunset
Correct answer: D. Virginia parents or guardians must certify at least 45 practice hours, 15 of them after sunset, before an under-18 driver is licensed. Night driving is riskier, so a third of practice happens after dark — remember 45 and 15.
7. During which hours does Virginia law generally prohibit you from driving if you are under 18?
- A 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- B 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- C Midnight to 4 a.m.
- D 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Correct answer: C. Virginia bars drivers under 18 from the road between midnight and 4 a.m., with exceptions for work, adult-supervised or sponsored activities, and emergencies. Late-night crashes spike for teens — be home before the clock strikes twelve.
8. You are a 17-year-old licensed Virginia driver with no adult in the car. How many passengers under age 21 may you usually carry?
- A None
- B One
- C Two
- D Three
Correct answer: B. Unless a licensed parent or another adult acting in a parent's place rides in the front seat, Virginia drivers under 18 may carry only one passenger under 21. Family members are exempt — one young friend is the cap.
9. In Virginia, exceeding the posted speed limit by how much automatically makes you guilty of reckless driving?
- A 10 mph or more
- B 15 mph or more
- C 20 mph or more
- D 25 mph or more
Correct answer: C. Virginia Code section 46.2-862 makes it reckless driving to exceed any posted limit by 20 mph or more — a criminal charge, not a simple ticket. Twenty over crosses the line from speeding to reckless.
10. You are driving 87 mph in a 70 mph zone on a Virginia interstate. What offense are you committing?
- A Reckless driving, because any speed over 85 mph qualifies regardless of the limit
- B Ordinary speeding, because you are less than 20 mph over the limit
- C No offense, because surrounding traffic was moving at that speed
- D Improper driving, a non-moving violation
Correct answer: A. Virginia treats any speed above 85 mph as reckless driving even when you are less than 20 mph over the posted limit. The statute has two triggers — 20 over, or 85-plus. Above 85, the posted number no longer matters.
11. You are 19 and convicted in Virginia of driving after illegally consuming alcohol. Which penalty applies?
- A A written warning for a first offense
- B A $100 fine with no license action
- C Loss of your license for 90 days only
- D One-year license forfeiture plus a minimum $500 fine or 50 hours of community service
Correct answer: D. Virginia's zero-tolerance law makes underage drinking and driving a Class 1 misdemeanor: the license is forfeited for one year, plus a mandatory minimum $500 fine or 50 hours of community service. Underage drinking costs a year.
12. If you are convicted of a first DUI in Virginia, what level of offense is it and what is the minimum fine?
- A A traffic infraction with a $100 fine
- B A Class 1 misdemeanor with a mandatory minimum $250 fine
- C A felony with a $1,000 fine
- D A civil violation with court costs only
Correct answer: B. A first DUI in Virginia is a Class 1 misdemeanor carrying a mandatory minimum $250 fine, and very high blood alcohol readings add mandatory jail days. It is a criminal record, not a ticket — even on offense number one.
13. Virginia law requires you to turn on your headlights in which of these situations?
- A Only between sunset and sunrise
- B Only when fog reduces visibility
- C Whenever your wipers are running steadily because of rain, fog, sleet, or snow
- D Only on unlit rural roads
Correct answer: C. Virginia requires headlights from sunset to sunrise, when visibility drops below 500 feet, and whenever wipers run steadily in bad weather. If your wipers are working, your lights should be too — that pairing keeps you visible.
14. On a Virginia highway, you approach a stopped ambulance with flashing lights on the shoulder. What does the move-over law require?
- A Stop completely until the ambulance leaves
- B Sound your horn to alert the crew
- C Keep your lane but turn on your hazard lights
- D Change into a lane away from the ambulance when safe, or slow to a careful speed if you cannot
Correct answer: D. Virginia's move-over law says to vacate the lane beside a stopped emergency vehicle when it is reasonable, and otherwise pass with due caution at a safe speed. Violating it for emergency vehicles is reckless driving — move over or slow down.
15. A school bus stops with flashing signals to load children on an undivided Virginia road. What must you do if you are approaching from the opposite direction?
- A Stop and remain stopped until everyone is clear and the bus moves again
- B Slow to 15 mph and pass with caution
- C Continue driving, because oncoming traffic never has to stop
- D Stop only if children are crossing your lane
Correct answer: A. On an undivided Virginia road, drivers from every direction must stop for a loading school bus and stay stopped until riders are clear and the bus rolls again. Passing one is reckless driving — flashing bus means everyone waits.
16. What official book prepares you for the Virginia knowledge test?
- A The Virginia Driver’s Manual will help you learn and understand safe driving practices.
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The official extract opens The Virginia Driver’s Manual will help you learn and understand safe driving practices. 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 Virginia permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official Virginia 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. Virginia's DMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Virginia page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Virginia roads?
- A Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and Virginia 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 Virginia law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Virginia version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DMV officially call the Virginia permit written exam?
- A Knowledge Exam (two-part: traffic signs, then general knowledge; multiple choice, with oral exams available on request)
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The DMV names the Virginia exam the Knowledge Exam (two-part: traffic signs, then general knowledge; multiple choice, with oral exams available on request). Informal names like permit test or written test point at the same test. Use the official name when you book or look up retake rules.
20. Where is the official Virginia driver handbook published?
- A By the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) 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 DMV publishes the Virginia 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 Virginia?
- A 15½
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Virginia lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15½, according to the DMV. 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. For a driver 21 or older in Virginia, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Virginia 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 Virginia can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
23. Drivers under 21 in Virginia are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Virginia 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 Virginia, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
24. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Virginia is:
- A 25 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Virginia's typical unposted residential / city default is 25 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 25 mph and watch the next plaque.
25. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Virginia?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Virginia'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 Virginia is signed at the state maximum.
26. Can you take the official Virginia Knowledge Exam (two-part: traffic signs, then general knowledge; multiple choice, with oral exams available on request) from home on the internet?
- A No. The DMV gives the Knowledge Exam (two-part: traffic signs, then general knowledge; multiple choice, with oral exams available on request) 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 DMV administers the Virginia Knowledge Exam (two-part: traffic signs, then general knowledge; multiple choice, with oral exams available on request) in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the DMV lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.
27. Which fee listing matches what the DMV currently publishes for a Virginia permit or license application?
- A The learner's permit fee is $3, paid on top of the yearly cost of the driver's license it is combined with; the driver's license itself costs $4 per year ($20 minimum, $32 for a standard eight-year license). A replacement learner's permit is $2.
- B There is never a fee in Virginia
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this Virginia amount: The learner's permit fee is $3, paid on top of the yearly cost of the driver's license it is combined with; the driver's license itself costs $4 per year ($20 minimum, $32 for a standard eight-year license). A replacement learner's permit is $2.. 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.
28. If you fail the Virginia Knowledge Exam (two-part: traffic signs, then general knowledge; multiple choice, with oral exams available on request), which statement matches the DMV's published retake rule?
- A Passing is judged per part: all 10 road sign questions must be answered correctly before the 30-question general knowledge part, which requires at least 24 correct (80%). Applicants under 18 who fail must wait a full 15 days before retesting, while adults 18 and older may test once per day. After a third failure, every applicant must complete the classroom component of a Virginia-approved driver training program (finished after the third failure) before testing again, and exam results expire if no permit or license is obtained within one year.
- B You are banned from driving in Virginia for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The DMV never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. Virginia's published retake rule is: Passing is judged per part: all 10 road sign questions must be answered correctly before the 30-question general knowledge part, which requires at least 24 correct (80%). Applicants under 18 who fail must wait a full 15 days before retesting, while adults 18 and older may test once per day. After a third failure, every applicant must complete the classroom component of a Virginia-approved driver training program (finished after the third failure) before testing again, and exam results expire if no permit or license is obtained within one year. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
29. What does the DMV publish about languages for the Virginia knowledge test?
- A 26 languages, including English, Spanish, American Sign Language, Amharic, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin and Traditional), Dari, Farsi, French, Korean, Russian, Urdu, and Vietnamese; oral exams are available by request at all DMV customer service centers.
- 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 Virginia: 26 languages, including English, Spanish, American Sign Language, Amharic, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin and Traditional), Dari, Farsi, French, Korean, Russian, Urdu, and Vietnamese; oral exams are available by request at all DMV customer service centers. Ask at the office or on the DMV site when you schedule, because not every location stocks every language every day. Bring an interpreter only if the DMV says that is allowed.
30. Which statement correctly describes Virginia's published graduated-licensing rules for new drivers?
- A Virginia applicants under 18 must hold a learner's permit at least nine months and complete a state-approved driver education program before being licensed, and the earliest licensing age is 16 years and three months. A parent or guardian must certify at least 45 hours of practice driving, 15 of which occurred after sunset. Adults 18 and older may instead hold the permit 60 days or complete driver education, and beginning January 1, 2027, applicants aged 18-20 must hold the permit at least 90 days and complete driver education.
- B New drivers in Virginia may drive alone on a permit with no supervising adult at any hour.
- C Virginia has no night, passenger, or practice-hour rules for teens.
- D A Virginia permit is valid nationwide as a full unrestricted license.
Correct answer: A. Virginia's GDL summary from the DMV: Virginia applicants under 18 must hold a learner's permit at least nine months and complete a state-approved driver education program before being licensed, and the earliest licensing age is 16 years and three months. A parent or guardian must certify at least 45 hours of practice driving, 15 of which occurred after sunset. Adults 18 and older may instead hold the permit 60 days or complete driver education, and beginning January 1, 2027, applicants aged 18-20 must hold the permit at least 90 days and complete driver education. Those details — hours, passengers, practice logs — are what real exams poke at. Reread them the night before you test.
31. What is the earliest age a Virginia teen can receive a driver's license?
- A 16 years and 3 months
- B 16 on the birthday
- C 15 years and 6 months
- D 17
Correct answer: A. Even with a nine-month learner's permit, Virginia will not issue the license before 16 years and 3 months. Birthday-at-16 answers miss the extra quarter year that DMV publishes.
32. Of Virginia's 45-hour teen practice log, how many hours must be after sunset?
- A 15
- B 10
- C 6
- D Night hours are optional with classroom driver ed
Correct answer: A. A parent or guardian must certify at least 45 hours and 15 of them after sunset. A 45-hour daytime-only log does not qualify, and driver education does not erase the night block.
33. Today, how may a Virginia applicant 18 or older satisfy the learner's-permit hold before licensing?
- A Hold the permit 60 days, or complete driver education
- B Nine months, same as a teen
- C 30 days with no course
- D Until age 21
Correct answer: A. Adults 18 and older may hold the permit 60 days or complete driver education. Beginning January 1, 2027, applicants aged 18-20 must hold the permit at least 90 days and complete driver education. Do not apply the 2027 rule as if it were already in force.
34. Starting January 1, 2027, what extra steps will Virginia require of applicants aged 18-20?
- A Hold the permit at least 90 days and complete driver education
- B The same 60-day hold as adults 21 and older
- C No permit hold if they pass the knowledge exam
- D A commercial license first
Correct answer: A. DMV has already published the 2027 change: ages 18-20 will need a 90-day permit hold plus driver education. Until that date, the 60-day-or-driver-ed path still applies for adults 18 and older.
35. You pass the Virginia knowledge exam but do not get a permit or license. When do those exam results expire?
- A After one year
- B After 30 days
- C They never expire
- D After 15 days
Correct answer: A. Virginia exam results expire if no permit or license is obtained within one year. After a third failure every applicant must also finish the classroom component of an approved driver-training program before testing again.
36. How close to a fire hydrant may you park in Virginia?
- A No closer than 15 feet
- B No closer than 10 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant on a one-way street
Correct answer: A. Virginia’s parking list includes no parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of an intersection, or within 50 feet of a railroad crossing. Fifteen, twenty, and fifty are three different spots — do not reuse one number for all three.
37. A Virginia signal shows a red arrow pointing right, or a “No Turn on Red” sign. May you turn right after stopping?
- A No. Those two controls ban the right turn on red
- B Yes, after a three-second pause
- C Yes, if no one is in the next block
- D Only after 9 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Virginia allows a right turn on red after a stop unless a “No Turn on Red” sign is posted or a red arrow pointing right is displayed. Either control shuts the turn down. A left on red is a different, narrower one-way-to-one-way rule.
38. A funeral procession is using a Virginia road. What must other drivers do?
- A Yield; do not cut through, join, or interfere with the procession
- B Split the line if your light is green
- C Honk and pass on the right
- D Follow it with high beams
Correct answer: A. Virginia says you must yield to funeral processions. Do not cut through, join, or interfere. On an undivided highway, opposite-direction drivers may also need to pull over until the procession has passed.
39. When must Virginia drivers use headlights because of weather, besides night?
- A Whenever windshield wipers are on because of bad weather
- B Only if rain lasts more than 30 minutes
- C Never in daylight rain
- D Only on interstates
Correct answer: A. Virginia tells you to use headlights whenever you use windshield wipers as a result of bad weather. Using headlights in the daytime also makes your vehicle easier to see. Wipers on, lights on.
40. About how far before a Virginia turn should you signal?
- A About 100 feet, or three to four seconds
- B A car length
- C 500 feet in every neighborhood
- D Only after you enter the crosswalk
Correct answer: A. Virginia says you should signal at least three or four seconds — 100 feet — ahead of the turn, then check left and right for pedestrians and traffic. A last-second flick does not give others time to react.
41. A Virginia school bus is stopped with flashing red lights and an extended stop sign. When may you go?
- A Only after all children are clear of the roadway and the bus moves again
- B As soon as the first child reaches the curb
- C After three seconds, even if the arm is still out
- D When the driver behind you honks
Correct answer: A. Virginia says you must stop for stopped school buses with flashing red lights and an extended stop sign, and remain stopped until all children are clear of the roadway and the bus moves again. Leaving early is how children still in the roadway get hit.
42. How far from other traffic must you drop high beams in Virginia?
- A When a vehicle is within 500 feet coming toward you, and when you are within 200 feet of the vehicle ahead
- B 50 feet both ways
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only inside city limits
Correct answer: A. Virginia says use high beams on highways unless a vehicle is within 500 feet coming toward you, and dim when you are within 200 feet of the vehicle ahead. If oncoming high beams stay on, glance toward the side of the road instead of staring into the lights.
43. You approach a Virginia roundabout or traffic circle. Who yields, and which way does traffic move?
- A Entering traffic yields to traffic already in the circle and travels counterclockwise
- B Circulating traffic stops for every new car
- C Clockwise, and the first car in the circle stops
- D Treat it as a four-way stop in the middle
Correct answer: A. Virginia’s roundabout warning signs describe a circular intersection with an island in the center, also called a traffic circle. Entering traffic must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the circle and travel in a counterclockwise direction. One or more lanes may be present, so read the lane arrows.
44. A Virginia flashing yellow light is showing. What should you do?
- A Slow down and proceed with caution; do not speed up to beat a nearby red
- B Treat it as a stop sign
- C Treat it as a protected green
- D Wait for a circular green
Correct answer: A. Virginia says a flashing yellow light means slow down and proceed with caution. Do not speed up to beat a nearby red. A circular red still requires a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk unless a lawful turn on red is allowed.
45. A Virginia flashing red light is showing. What must you do?
- A Come to a complete stop and yield to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians, then go when the way is clear
- B Treat it as a yield sign
- C Treat it as a green light after dark
- D Wait for a circular green
Correct answer: A. Virginia says at a flashing red light, come to a complete stop and yield to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. You may go when the way is clear. Testers swap this with flashing yellow, which is caution without that mandatory stop.
46. Virginia traffic signals are out of service because of a power outage or other problem and are not displaying signal indications. How should you treat the intersection?
- A Treat the dark heads as a stop-controlled crossing; stop, then go only when it is safe
- B Treat the dark head as a green light
- C The busier street keeps going
- D Close the intersection to everyone
Correct answer: A. Virginia’s out-of-service-signal rule tells you that when traffic signals are not working because of a power outage or other problem and are not displaying indications, you must stop and proceed only when it is safe. Do not assume the main street still has a free green.
47. A Virginia “No Left Turn” sign is posted. How does Virginia treat a U-turn there?
- A A U-turn is treated as two left turns, so it is illegal if that sign is posted
- B U-turns stay legal in Virginia when a left is banned
- C Only trucks must obey the sign
- D You may U-turn after 9 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Virginia’s manual says U-turns are considered as two left turns and are illegal if a No Left Turn sign is posted. Drivers who only read the U-turn plaque miss the trap. If Virginia bars the left, it also bars the turnaround that is built from two lefts.
48. You pass a person riding a bicycle, moped, or power-assisted bicycle on a Virginia road. How much room must you leave?
- A Reduce speed and pass at least three feet to the left
- B A Virginia mirror’s width
- C One foot in a shared lane
- D No extra space if you use the horn
Correct answer: A. Virginia tells you to reduce speed and pass at least three feet to the left when you overtake a person on a bicycle, moped, or power-assisted bicycle or similar device. State law also requires at least three feet when you pass a horse-drawn buggy. Testers forget the moped and buggy cousins. Three feet is the Virginia pass number.
49. What following-distance rule does the Virginia Driver’s Manual teach on dry pavement?
- A Two seconds under 35 mph, three seconds from 35–45 mph, and four seconds from 46–70 mph
- B One Virginia car length at any speed
- C A flat two seconds at highway speed
- D No gap is required under 35 mph
Correct answer: A. Virginia uses a two-, three-, and four-second rule that changes with speed on dry pavement: two seconds under 35 mph, three seconds from 35 to 45 mph, and four seconds from 46 to 70 mph. The cushion does not apply if you are speeding over 70. Add extra seconds in weather, heavy traffic, or poor pavement. Testers keep a single two-second Virginia habit. Match the count to your speed.
50. A Virginia intersection has a painted bicycle box. Where do you stop on red, and may you turn right on red?
- A Stop behind all bicycle boxes, not inside; right on red is not allowed at these Virginia intersections
- B Stop on the Virginia crosswalk inside the box
- C Right on red is always legal in a Virginia bike box
- D Nudge into the Virginia box so bikes wait behind you
Correct answer: A. Virginia bicycle boxes are painted at intersections, often green, with a white bicycle symbol. Drivers must stop for a red behind all bicycle boxes, not inside. Right turns on red are not allowed at those intersections. On a green right, signal and yield to bicycles on the right. Testers treat a Virginia bike box like an empty gutter. Stopping in it is the miss.
51. During posted heavy-traffic hours, who may use a Virginia HOV lane besides carpools that meet the passenger minimum?
- A Buses, vanpools, motorcycles, and certain clean special-fuel Virginia vehicles — motorcycles and clean-fuel vehicles are not held to the passenger count
- B Any Virginia solo driver if the diamond is faded
- C Only Virginia buses; motorcycles are banned
- D Anyone after the Virginia barrier opens
Correct answer: A. Virginia HOV lanes, marked with a diamond or separated by a barrier or solid double white lines, are reserved during heavy-traffic periods for buses, vanpools, carpools, other high-occupancy vehicles, motorcycles, and certain clean special-fuel vehicles. Road signs show the minimum passenger count — excluding motorcycles and clean-fuel vehicles — and the hours. Barrier-separated lanes can be reversible. Testers put a solo Virginia gas car in the diamond or require two people on a motorcycle. Read the plaque; bikes and listed clean-fuel vehicles skip the head-count.
52. Norfolk’s Tide light-rail trains share Virginia streets and cross motor traffic at many locations. What does the handbook tell car drivers to do at those crossings?
- A Never drive around lowered Virginia crossing gates; look both ways before turning across the tracks, and expect a train on any track at any time
- B Race around a Virginia gate if the bells pause
- C Park on the Virginia rails until the gate rises
- D Treat a Virginia quiet train like a city bus in your lane
Correct answer: A. Virginia’s Tide light rail in Norfolk shares the road and crosses motor traffic at 27 locations along 7.4 miles. The handbook says never drive around lowered crossing gates, always look both ways before turning across train tracks, and expect trains on any track at any time. Testers sneak around a Virginia gate. The gate wins.
53. A Virginia travel lane is too narrow to share side by side and is marked with a sharrow. What does that marking mean?
- A A bicycle symbol with a double chevron; it shows where riders are encouraged to sit and reminds you to expect bicyclists in that Virginia lane
- B The Virginia lane is closed to every bicycle
- C Park in the Virginia sharrow if your hazards are on
- D Treat a Virginia sharrow as a bus-only diamond
Correct answer: A. Virginia says a shared-lane marking, or sharrow, is a bicycle symbol with a double chevron above it. It is used on travel lanes too narrow for motor vehicles and bicycles to share side by side. Sharrows clarify where bicyclists are encouraged to ride and remind drivers to expect them. Testers squeeze past a Virginia sharrow. Yield the lane.
54. Fire trucks or equipment have stopped on a Virginia street answering an alarm. How close may you park?

- D Anywhere a Virginia sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Virginia forbids parking within 500 feet of where fire trucks or equipment are stopped answering an alarm. The same list uses 15 feet from a fire, ambulance, or rescue-squad station entrance. Testers reuse that 15-foot number at the scene. Five hundred feet is the alarm-scene buffer.
55. How close to a Virginia fire-station entrance, or a plainly designated emergency medical services entrance, may you park?
- A No closer than 15 feet of that Virginia fire-station or emergency-medical-services entrance
- B Twenty feet on the near side and 75 feet opposite, numbers copied from other Virginia neighbors

- B Leave it in the Virginia travel lane if flashers are on
- C Wait in the Virginia lane until a wrecker arrives
- D Push it onto the opposite Virginia shoulder against traffic
Correct answer: A. Virginia Code 46.2-888 says that after an emergency, accident, or mechanical breakdown you must turn on working emergency flashing lights. If you can move the vehicle safely and no one is injured or killed, move it from the roadway to the shoulder as soon as possible and remove it from the shoulder without unnecessary delay. Testers leave a driveable Virginia car in the travel lane “until help comes.” Flashers plus the shoulder move are the pair, separate from the 500-foot fire-equipment extra.

- D No Virginia fine if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Virginia Code 46.2-818.2 makes it unlawful to hold a handheld personal communications device while driving a moving motor vehicle on a Virginia highway. A first offense is a $125 traffic infraction; a second or later offense is $250; the same $250 is mandatory in a marked highway work zone. Testers invent a free first Virginia warning. One hundred twenty-five, then two hundred fifty, is the pair, separate from the 500-foot fire-equipment extra.
59. A Virginia middle lane is marked on both sides with a solid line next to a broken line. How far may you travel in that holding lane?

- C Five hundred Virginia feet, copied from a Missouri rule
- D Only after a Virginia officer waves
Correct answer: A. Virginia Code 46.2-804 treats a middle lane marked on both sides with a solid line immediately adjacent to a broken line as a left-turn or holding lane. You may drive to the left of that line, when the solid line is on the right of the broken line, to turn left into a road or entrance, but you may not travel in that lane farther than 150 feet. Testers camp in a Virginia center stripe. One hundred fifty feet is the Virginia holding-lane limit, separate from the 15-foot hydrant extra.
60. When you park next to a Virginia curb, how far out may the vehicle sit?

- B Leave the Virginia wheels straight if the brake is set
- C Always turn the Virginia wheels toward oncoming traffic
- D Point the Virginia wheels uphill on every grade
Correct answer: A. The official Virginia Driver’s Manual’s hill diagram turns the front wheels right when parking downhill with a curb, left when parking uphill with a curb, and right when parking downhill or uphill without a curb so the rear rolls away from traffic. Testers leave a Virginia car pointed straight on a grade. The three-way wheel rule is the trap, separate from the hard-surface extra.

- D If the Virginia hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Virginia Driver's Manual on dmv.virginia.gov says yield to motorcycles. The size of a motorcycle can cause you to misjudge the motorcycle's speed and distance.
