1. In West Virginia, during which hours may a Level 1 GDL instruction permit holder legally drive?
- A 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
- B 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
- C Any hours, as long as an adult supervises
- D 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Correct answer: A. West Virginia limits Level 1 permit holders to driving between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., always with a supervising licensed driver 21 or older. Nighttime crash risk is highest for beginners. Remember: five to ten, daylight-centered hours.
2. You hold a West Virginia Level 2 intermediate license. Between which hours must a licensed adult 21 or older supervise your driving?
- A 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- B 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.
- C Midnight to 5:00 a.m.
- D 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Correct answer: D. Level 2 drivers in West Virginia need a supervising adult 21 or older between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., unless traveling for work, school activities, religious events, or emergencies. Think ten to five: the overnight window stays supervised.
3. During the first six months with a West Virginia Level 2 intermediate license, how many non-family passengers under age 20 may you carry?
- A None
- B One
- C Two
- D Three
Correct answer: A. For the first six months at Level 2, West Virginia allows zero non-family passengers under 20; one is allowed during the second six months. Young passengers multiply distraction, so the limit phases in slowly. Zero, then one.
4. To move from a West Virginia Level 1 permit to a Level 2 intermediate license, how much supervised practice driving must be certified?
- A 30 hours, with 5 at night
- B 40 hours, with 10 at night
- C 50 hours, with 10 at night
- D 60 hours, with 20 at night
Correct answer: C. West Virginia requires a certified log of 50 practice hours, including 10 at night, plus 180 consecutive conviction-free days at Level 1. Practice builds the judgment testing can't. Memory hook: fifty hours, ten after dark.
5. If you fail the West Virginia knowledge examination, how soon may you take it again?
- A Immediately, the same day
- B After one week
- C After 30 days
- D After 90 days
Correct answer: B. State law (WV Code §17B-2-6) says an applicant who fails may not be tested twice within one week, and each attempt costs $7.50. Use the wait to restudy the handbook. One fail equals one week.
6. What happens if you receive two convictions while holding a West Virginia Level 1 GDL instruction permit?
- A You receive a written warning only
- B You pay a $500 fine but keep the permit
- C Your permit is revoked until age 18
- D Your permit is revoked for 90 days
Correct answer: D. Two convictions at Level 1 revoke your West Virginia instruction permit for 90 days, after which you must reapply and retest. Each conviction also restarts the six-month clean-driving clock. Two strikes means ninety days sidelined.
7. A West Virginia Level 2 intermediate license holder is convicted of a second moving violation. What is the consequence?
- A A $100 fine with no license action
- B License revoked until age 18, then full retesting as a first-time applicant
- C A 90-day revocation with automatic reinstatement
- D Six extra months at Level 2
Correct answer: B. In West Virginia, a first Level 2 conviction requires a driver improvement program; a second revokes your license until 18, when you retest as a first-time applicant. Strike one is class, strike two starts everything over.
8. Unless signs show otherwise, what is the maximum speed limit on West Virginia interstate highways?
- A 55 mph
- B 65 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 75 mph
Correct answer: C. West Virginia's handbook lists 70 mph as the interstate maximum unless otherwise posted, while open country highways default to 55 mph. Higher-speed roads are engineered for it; always let posted signs override defaults. Interstate equals seventy.
9. While children are going to or leaving school, what is the maximum speed in a West Virginia school zone?
- A 10 mph
- B 15 mph
- C 20 mph
- D 25 mph
Correct answer: B. West Virginia sets school-zone limits at 15 mph during recess or while children travel to and from school. Kids dart unpredictably, and slower speeds shrink stopping distance dramatically. Fifteen when children are present, the state's slowest limit.
10. You are driving an open country highway in West Virginia with no speed limit signs posted. What limit applies?
- A 45 mph
- B 50 mph
- C 55 mph
- D 65 mph
Correct answer: C. Unless otherwise posted, West Virginia open country highways carry a 55 mph limit under WV Code §17C-6-1. These two-lane rural roads have hidden entrances and curves that make higher speeds unsafe. Country roads: think double nickels.
11. Under West Virginia's Implied Consent Law, what happens if you refuse the designated breath test after a DUI arrest?
- A Your driving privilege is revoked for one year and up to life
- B Nothing, because refusal is a protected right
- C You pay a $25 fine with no license action
- D You get a 30-day grace period to comply
Correct answer: A. By driving in West Virginia you have already consented to chemical testing; refusing the breathalyzer after a DUI arrest revokes your driving privilege for one year and up to life. Refusal punishes harder than many test results. Consent rides with your license.
12. A West Virginia driver under 21 is caught with any measurable alcohol, first offense. What is the minimum license revocation?
- A 10 days
- B 15 days
- C 20 days
- D 30 days
Correct answer: D. West Virginia's zero-tolerance law revokes an under-21 driver's license for at least 30 days on a first offense, with a $25 to $100 fine. Any measurable amount counts, not just 0.08%. Underage plus any alcohol equals thirty days minimum.
13. If you are under 18 and convicted of DUI in West Virginia, how long is your license revoked?
- A Exactly 60 days
- B Until age 18 or the statutory revocation period, whichever is longer
- C Until age 21 in every case
- D Ten days plus a fine
Correct answer: B. A DUI under age 18 revokes your West Virginia license until your 18th birthday or the statutory period, whichever lasts longer, plus a required Safety and Treatment program. Teen DUI can erase your entire licensed adolescence.
14. In West Virginia, when are you NOT required to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights loading students?
- A When you approach it head-on on a two-lane road
- B When it stops in a parking lot
- C When you are on the opposite side of an interstate highway
- D When the bus is on school property
Correct answer: C. West Virginia requires all traffic in both directions to stop for a flashing-red school bus everywhere except oncoming traffic on interstate highways. Passing illegally brings at least 60 days' suspension and a $500 minimum fine. Interstates are the only exception.
15. On a two-lane West Virginia road, you approach a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights but cannot change lanes. What must you do?
- A Slow to no more than 15 mph and proceed with caution
- B Maintain the posted limit but turn on your headlights
- C Stop completely until the vehicle leaves
- D Honk and pass at no more than 25 mph
Correct answer: A. West Virginia's move-over law says if you cannot change lanes away from a stopped emergency vehicle, slow to 15 mph on a nondivided road (25 mph on divided highways). Roadside workers stand feet from traffic. Move over or slow way down.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in West Virginia?
- A Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In West Virginia, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a West Virginia permit. When in doubt, start at the DMV site.
17. You need to confirm a West Virginia permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official West 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. West Virginia's DMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official West Virginia page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on West Virginia roads?
- A West Virginia's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and West 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 West Virginia law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the West Virginia version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DMV officially call the West Virginia permit written exam?
- A Knowledge Examination
- 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 West Virginia exam the Knowledge Examination. 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 West Virginia driver handbook published?
- A By the Division 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 West 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 West Virginia?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. West Virginia lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, 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. How many questions are on the official West Virginia Knowledge Examination?
- A 25
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The DMV publishes a 25-question Knowledge Examination in West Virginia. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 25. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the West Virginia Knowledge Examination?
- A 19
- B 1
- C 25
- D 2
Correct answer: A. West Virginia requires 19 correct out of 25 on the Knowledge Examination. That is the DMV'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 official West Virginia book title covers licensing?
- A LICENSING HANDBOOK LICENSING HANDBOOK STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. The official cover reads LICENSING HANDBOOK LICENSING HANDBOOK STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. The leftover 76% passing-score claim is not in that extract; this nearby official title is.
25. For a driver 21 or older in West Virginia, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. West 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 West Virginia can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in West 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. West 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 West Virginia, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in West Virginia is:
- A 25 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. West 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.
28. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in West Virginia?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. West 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 West Virginia is signed at the state maximum.
29. Does the DMV offer any online option for the West Virginia Knowledge Examination?
- 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. West Virginia does offer an online knowledge-test path for some applicants. Eligibility, ID rules, and camera rules change, so confirm them on the DMV site before you plan around it. An online test still means no handbook in your lap.
30. Which fee listing matches what the DMV currently publishes for a West Virginia permit or license application?
- A Knowledge test: $7.50 per attempt. Level 1 GDL instruction permit: $7.50. Road skills test: $7.50 per attempt. Regular (18 and older) instruction permit: $7.50. A federal-use REAL ID credential costs an additional $10.00.
- B There is never a fee in West Virginia
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this West Virginia amount: Knowledge test: $7.50 per attempt. Level 1 GDL instruction permit: $7.50. Road skills test: $7.50 per attempt. Regular (18 and older) instruction permit: $7.50. A federal-use REAL ID credential costs an additional $10.00.. 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.
31. When may a West Virginia Level 1 instruction-permit holder drive, and who must sit in front?
- A Only between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. with a licensed driver 21 or older in the front seat
- B Anytime with any licensed teen
- C From 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- D Only on weekends
Correct answer: A. The Level 1 instruction permit is available at 15: holders may drive only between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. with a licensed driver 21 or older in the front seat, and must complete 180 conviction-free days plus 50 certified hours (10 at night) to advance.
32. How do West Virginia Level 2 passenger rules change after the first six months?
- A No non-family passengers under 20 the first six months, then one
- B Three from day one
- C None until 17
- D Any number after 10:00 p.m.
Correct answer: A. The Level 2 intermediate license at 16 requires adult supervision between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. (with work, school, religious, and emergency exceptions) and phases in passengers — no non-family passengers under 20 the first six months, then one. The full Level 3 license is available at 17 after 12 conviction-free months at Level 2.
33. Under West Virginia Code §17B-2-6, how soon may you be tested again after failing the written or road skills test?
- A You may not be tested twice within one week
- B The next morning
- C The same afternoon
- D After 30 days only
Correct answer: A. An applicant who fails the written test or the road skills test may not be tested twice within a period of one week. The application fee entitles an applicant under 18 to up to two written-test attempts and one road-skills attempt; an applicant 18 or older gets up to two written attempts and up to three road-skills attempts within 90 days of permit issuance.
34. How many written-test and road-skills attempts does the application fee give a West Virginia applicant under 18?
- A Up to two written attempts and one road-skills attempt
- B Unlimited for a year
- C One written and three road
- D Five of each
Correct answer: A. Under 18 the fee covers up to two written-test attempts and one road-skills attempt. Applicants 18 or older get up to two written attempts and up to three road-skills attempts within 90 days of permit issuance. Combined with the one-week fail wait, plan those tries carefully.
35. Which West Virginia no-parking distances does the handbook list?
- A 15 feet from a hydrant and 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection
- B 8 feet for both
- C 50 feet for both
- D No listed distances
Correct answer: A. West Virginia forbids parking within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk, and within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. Fifteen and twenty are the two numbers testers swap.
36. A blind pedestrian using a white cane, walking stick, or service animal is on a West Virginia highway. Where do they have the right-of-way?
- A On the highway, street, or road whether or not they are in a crosswalk
- B Only in a marked crosswalk
- C Only if a crossing guard is present
- D Never against a green light
Correct answer: A. West Virginia gives a blind person on foot using a guide dog or other service animal, or carrying a white cane or walking stick, the right-of-way on a highway, street, or road regardless of whether they are in a crosswalk. Yield even if they are not between painted lines.
37. When must West Virginia headlights be on, and when must you dim for an oncoming vehicle?
- A From sunset to sunrise or when you cannot see clearly at 500 feet; dim within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle
- B Only after 10 p.m.; dim at 50 feet
- C Never in rain; never dim
- D Only on interstates
Correct answer: A. West Virginia requires headlights from sunset to sunrise, during fog, smoke, or rain, or any other time persons and vehicles cannot be seen clearly at 500 feet. Dim within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle and within 200 feet of the vehicle ahead. Do not drive on parking lights.
38. How far from a vehicle you are following must you dim high beams in West Virginia?
- A Within 200 feet
- B Within 50 feet
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only inside city limits
Correct answer: A. West Virginia says dim your headlights within 200 feet of the vehicle in front of you, and within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle. Also dim on well-lit streets and use low beams in fog so high beams do not bounce back at you.
39. A West Virginia school bus has red lights flashing while students get on or off. Who must stop?
- A Traffic in both directions on highways, streets, parking lots, private roads, or driveways; opposite traffic on an interstate across a median does not have to stop
- B Only the car behind the bus
- C No one on a city street
- D Only school-zone traffic
Correct answer: A. West Virginia requires traffic in both directions on highways, streets, parking lots, private roads, or driveways to stop before reaching a school bus with flashing red lights that is receiving or discharging students. Proceed only when the bus moves, the driver signals, or the visual signals are no longer actuated. Only on interstate highways does traffic coming toward a bus stopped on the other side of the median skip the stop.
40. A West Virginia signal shows a steady red arrow for a left turn. What must you do?
- A Come to a complete stop before the intersection, stop line, or crosswalk and remain stopped while the arrow is red
- B Turn left after a rolling pause
- C Treat it as a flashing yellow arrow
- D Turn if no one is coming from the right
Correct answer: A. West Virginia’s steady red arrow for a left turn means come to a complete stop before the intersection, stop line, or crosswalk for the direction indicated by the arrow, and remain stopped as long as the signal is red. It is not a “turn when clear” permission like some other states’ red-arrow exceptions.
41. How far before a West Virginia turn should you signal?
- A At least 100 feet before you plan to turn
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the turn
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. West Virginia tells drivers to signal at least 100 feet before they plan to turn and to switch the signal off after the turn. If you plan to turn beyond an intersection, do not signal so early that other drivers think you are turning at the intersection and pull into your path.
42. A West Virginia funeral procession is moving through an intersection. What does the handbook say you are required to do?
- A Yielding is a courtesy, not a legal requirement; still do not break the line once the lead vehicle has entered
- B You must always stop, even for a single unmarked car
- C You may cut through if your light is green
- D You should join the procession
Correct answer: A. West Virginia says that although it is not required by law, it is a courtesy to yield to vehicles in a funeral procession. Once the lead vehicle has entered, common-sense driving still means you do not drive between the cars. Treat the courtesy as the safe choice at a crowded intersection.
43. A West Virginia funeral procession is moving through an intersection. The handbook already says yielding is a courtesy. What extra habit do testers still reuse?
- A Once the lead vehicle has cleared the intersection, do not cut into the remaining line even though the courtesy is not a statute duty
- B Pass the hearse on the right
- C Join the line to get through a red light
- D Honk so they go faster
Correct answer: A. West Virginia says that although yielding to a funeral procession is not required by law, it is a courtesy. Once the lead vehicle has cleared an intersection, let the rest of the line stay together. Do not use the courtesy gap as a chance to jump the light.
44. A West Virginia traffic signal is a flashing red stop signal. What must you do?
- A Stop before the nearest crosswalk, limit line, or intersection, then proceed under stop-sign rules
- B Slow and continue
- C Wait for a circular green
- D Treat it as a flashing yellow
Correct answer: A. West Virginia Code § 17C-3-7 treats flashing red as a stop signal. Stop before the nearest crosswalk, or at a marked limit line, or before the intersection, then follow ordinary stop-sign rules. Do not treat the flash as a broken green.
45. A West Virginia traffic signal is a flashing yellow caution signal. What may you do, and when may a town switch signals to flashing?
- A Proceed through only with caution; local authorities may permit flashing signals from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. in low-traffic areas
- B Treat it as a stop sign at all hours
- C Treat it as a protected green
- D Ignore it after midnight
Correct answer: A. West Virginia Code § 17C-3-7 says a flashing yellow caution signal lets drivers proceed through the intersection or past the signal only with caution. Local authorities, in areas that experience low traffic times, may permit flashing signals between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. That overnight window is the distinctive West Virginia hook.
46. After yielding on red in West Virginia, when may you turn left?
- A From a one-way street to another one-way street
- B From any two-way street onto any two-way street
- C Never
- D Only after midnight
Correct answer: A. West Virginia allows a right on red at the intersection of two-way streets, and a left on red from a one-way street to another one-way street. Make those turns only after yielding to all other traffic and pedestrians. A two-way-to-two-way left on red is not that permission.
47. What following-distance method does West Virginia call the best way to keep a safe gap?
- A The three-to-four second rule
- B One West Virginia car length at any speed
- C Half a second on dry pavement
- D No gap is required outside city limits
Correct answer: A. West Virginia says following too closely causes most rear-end crashes and that the best way to keep a proper following distance is the three-to-four second rule. Pick a fixed object, start counting when the vehicle ahead passes it, and do not reach that object before you finish the count. Testers still quote a two-second West Virginia myth. Use three to four, then add more in a work zone.
48. How must you pass a bicycle traveling the same way on a West Virginia roadway?
- A Pass to the left at not less than three feet, at a careful and reduced speed, and do not return right until you are safely clear
- B Pass on the right at a West Virginia mirror’s width
- C Match the rider’s speed in the same lane
- D Honk and cut back immediately
Correct answer: A. West Virginia Code 17C-7-3 requires a driver overtaking a bicycle going the same way to pass to the left at a distance of not less than three feet, at a careful and reduced speed, and not to return to the right until safely clear of the bicycle. Testers squeeze past in the same West Virginia lane. Three feet plus a reduced speed is the statutory pass.
49. You must drive slower than the designated speed on a West Virginia road that has one lane each way, and overtaking traffic has no clear passing lane. What must you do?
- A Pull off at the first safe West Virginia turnout so faster traffic can pass
- B Hold the West Virginia lane until a passing zone is painted
- C Wave faster West Virginia cars onto the shoulder
- D Speed up only after ten West Virginia vehicles stack up
Correct answer: A. West Virginia says that if you must drive slower than the designated speed, pull off at the first safe turnout to let faster traffic pass. That rule applies on a road with one lane in each direction when overtaking traffic does not have a clear passing lane. Drive as close as possible to the right edge when you are under the normal speed of traffic. Testers wait for a West Virginia passing-zone stripe. The first safe turnout is the duty.
50. How may you use a West Virginia center left-turn lane marked with solid yellow next to the through lanes and broken yellow toward the center?
- A Only for left turns from either West Virginia direction; not as a through or passing lane
- B As a West Virginia passing bay if the dashes fade
- C As a through lane on a West Virginia four-lane
- D Only for West Virginia right turns from a driveway
Correct answer: A. West Virginia reserves center left-turn lanes for left turns from either direction. They are not to be used as through or passing lanes. You recognize them by solid yellow nearest the through lanes and broken lines toward the center. Testers camp in a West Virginia center turn stripe to overtake. Left turns only.
51. You are approaching a horse and rider on a West Virginia highway. What does the handbook tell you about the horn?
- A Do not sound the horn; it may frighten the West Virginia horse and cause a crash
- B Honk early so the West Virginia rider moves over
- C Tap the West Virginia horn if you stay in your lane
- D Use the West Virginia horn only at night
Correct answer: A. West Virginia says drivers approaching any horse shall take every precaution to prevent frightening the horse. Never sound your horn when approaching or near a horse, because that may frighten the animal and cause a crash. Testers honk a West Virginia rider out of the lane. Quiet is the handbook item.
52. How close to the curb must your wheels sit when you parallel park on a West Virginia two-way street?
- A Right-hand wheels parallel to and within 18 inches of the right West Virginia curb
- B Within 12 inches only, a number copied from other states
- C Flush against a West Virginia hydrant
- D Three West Virginia feet out if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. West Virginia Code 17C-13-4, as the handbook restates it, requires the right-hand wheels to sit parallel to and within 18 inches of the right curb on a two-way street. On the left side of a one-way, the wheels stay within 18 inches of the left curb. Testers copy a 12-inch number. Eighteen inches is the West Virginia curb gap.
53. How close to a rural mailbox may you park on a West Virginia street that a carrier serves with a motor vehicle?
- A No closer than 20 feet of any West Virginia mailbox served by a carrier using a motor vehicle for daily deliveries
- B Against the West Virginia box if flashers are on
- C Fifteen feet, the West Virginia hydrant number
- D Anywhere a West Virginia sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. West Virginia’s parking list adds a local trap: do not park within 20 feet of any mailbox served by a carrier using a motor vehicle for daily deliveries. Testers reuse the 15-foot hydrant number here. Twenty feet keeps the carrier’s pull-up clear.
54. How close to a West Virginia fire-station driveway may you park, including on the opposite side of the street?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet on the opposite West Virginia side when that side is properly signposted
- B Fifteen feet, the West Virginia hydrant number
- C Against the West Virginia bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a West Virginia sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. West Virginia Code 17C-13-3 forbids stopping, standing, or parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, and within 75 feet of that entrance on the opposite side of the street when that side is properly signposted. Testers reuse the 15-foot West Virginia hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear, separate from the 20-foot mailbox extra.
55. May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a West Virginia curb?
- A No; West Virginia forbids parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb
- B Yes, if West Virginia flashers are on
- C Only at night on a West Virginia interstate
- D Yes, if the West Virginia hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. West Virginia Code 17C-13-3 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street — double parking.
