#1. What does this sign mean?
This sign warns you of a crosswalk for school children. (School crosswalk.)
Signs may be fluorescent yellow-green or standard yellow in color. Signs may also have a separate downward-pointing arrow plaque, which indicates the actual location of the crosswalk.
#2. What kind of sign is this?
The Speed Limit sign is an example of a regulatory sign. With the word minimum it shows the minimum speed you are allowed to travel.
#3. A pedestrian has entered a crosswalk and should have the right-of-way:
Unmarked crosswalks are areas where a road intersects a sidewalk and there are no solid lines painted on the road. Where there are no lines at an intersection, you must stop your vehicle before entering the crosswalk (sidewalk area).
#4. All of the following vehicles are required to stop before crossing railroad tracks at all times, except:
School buses, vehicles carrying explosives or flammable liquids such as gasoline trucks, and buses carrying passengers must stop at railroad crossings. These vehicles must stop within 50 feet and not less than 15 feet from the tracks. Watch out for them and do not pass them when they are stopped at the crossing.

You may not make a U-turn near the crest of a hill or any curve where you cannot see 500 feet or more.
#7. One of the first things affected by drinking alcohol is your:
Your judgment is the first thing affected after drinking alcohol.
Alcohol affects those areas of your brain that control judgment and skill. This is one reason why drinking alcohol is so dangerous – it affects your judgment and reduces your ability to know when to stop drinking.
#8. If you want to turn at an intersection but end up in a lane marked for through traffic, you must:
Many streets have signs or pavement markings indicating a particular lane is to be used for a particular traffic movement. If you want to turn at an intersection, but end up in a lane marked for through traffic, you must continue straight through the intersection.
#9. If you encounter a flooded roadway, you should:
Do not drive through flooded areas. If you see a flooded roadway ahead, turn around and find another route to get to your destination.
#10. Your license is revoked after a refusal to take a DUI test. Can you get a temporary work permit?
Work permits can only be issued to first-time offenders after serving at least 30 days of suspension or after serving at least 14 days if participating in the 24/7 Sobriety Program. Work permits cannot be given to repeat offenders or to those who refuse to take an AC or PBT test.
#11. What is the meaning of this sign?
Traffic signal ahead.
Slow down and be ready to stop at the signal ahead, if necessary.
#12. True or false? Large vehicles usually take longer to stop than a car traveling at the same speed.
Large vehicles have longer stopping and accelerating distances, wider turning radii, and weigh more. They also have serious blind spots.
Remember, a fully-loaded tractor-trailer may take more than 400 feet on dry pavement to come to a complete stop, or more than the length of a football field.
#13. If you are having trouble remembering the last few miles, it is most likely a symptom of:
Some danger signs of fatigue are:
- Difficulty in focusing or keeping eyes open.
- Inability to recall the last few miles driven.
- Having the sense of being detached or watching the vehicle being driven rather than driving it.
- Crossing the center line or dropping off the edge of the pavement.
- Missing traffic signs or lights.
- Tailgating or following other vehicles more closely than you normally would.
- Forgetting to dim headlights.
- Excessive yawning.
- Inability to hold head up (nodding off).
#14. When facing a traffic signal showing a steady green arrow, you:
A green arrow means you may enter the intersection to make the movement indicated by the arrow. This is known as a protected turn. If the green arrow comes on at a red light, you may turn in the direction of the arrow. You must yield the right of way to all pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection.
Remember, the green arrow does not mean that ALL other traffic is stopped by a red light. Traffic may turn from the opposing direction and vehicles going straight in your direction may also have a green light.
#15. What does this sign mean?
This sign is used at locations along a roadway where a flagger may be stationed to control traffic.
#16. What does this sign mean?
Merging traffic sign.
Traffic may be moving into your lane from the right side.

You should use the left lane to drive faster, pass, or turn left. Keep to the right if you are traveling slowly.
#18. When a police officer is directing you to drive on the wrong side of the road, you should:
You must obey any traffic direction, order, or signal by a law enforcement officer.
#19. To avoid glare from the high-beam headlights of an approaching car:
If you meet a vehicle that does not dim its lights, look to the right edge of the road to avoid being blinded. Remember, it takes time for your eyes to adjust after meeting a vehicle at night.
Do not try to get back at other driver by keeping your headlights turned to the high-beam setting. If you do, both of you may be blinded.
#20. Which road signs have a yellow background?
Yellow is used for general warnings of specific road conditions and dangers ahead.
#21. You should allow an extra cushion of space when following:
When following large trucks, your vision may be blocked. Your ability to see and to plan ahead will be improved if you fall back to increase your following distance.
If you are following too close, be aware that the truck driver may not be able to see you in the mirrors.
Falling back is a good idea to both see and be seen.
#22. Unless otherwise posted, what is the speed limit on rural interstate highways?
The speed limit is 75 mph on rural interstate highways, unless posted otherwise.
#23. The law allows parking in all of the following places except:
You cannot park within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.
#24. When can two children share one seat belt?
Never buckle two children into one seat belt.

Light from high beams will reflect back, causing glare and making it more difficult to see ahead.

After each practice question, you will get immediate feedback on whether your answer is correct. If your answer is wrong, a short explanation also helps you understand the right answer.

North Dakota Online Driver Exam
Most applicants over 18 years can complete their driver’s knowledge exam at home.
It is simple to register, and the online exam is available 24/7. You can use the knowledge test from anywhere with internet access. Still, you must have a laptop or a desktop computer. The test will not work on a mobile device.
The online test will let you choose between English and Spanish. Audio playback is also available.
You have 60 minutes to complete the online exam.
NDDOT allows you to take the online test up to five times within one year.
1 Start by Reading the Manual
Always get the latest North Dakota Noncommercial Driver’s License Manual. You can get it from your nearest Driver’s License Site or download it online .
Read it from the first page to the last. Using it as a reference when you take the practice tests is also a good idea.
Remember, everything in the manual is there for a reason. NDDOT draws questions to your final test from all parts of this manual. It isn’t easy to pass the knowledge test unless you have studied the manual.
2 Use Practice Tests Wisely
This practice test is a learning tool. It should be used together with the Driver’s License Manual, not instead of it.
A common mistake and poor strategy is to try to memorize all questions and answers. You’ll never know which questions and answers you will get on your test, and wordings may differ.
If you want to pass the exam and become a safe driver, your best strategy is to learn the essential rules of the road and common ND traffic laws.

Who Must Take North Dakota Knowledge Test?
First-time Drivers
When you apply for your first original North Dakota driver’s license, you must always pass a vision screening and the written knowledge test.
Drivers who let their license expire more than one year
When you renew your driver’s license, NDDOT only requires a new knowledge test if you let it expire for over a year.
Drivers with a revoked license
If NDDOT has revoked your driving privileges, you must wait for the revocation period to end, meet all reinstatement requirements, and take the written and road tests before NDDOT issues a new license.
After a suspension, you will get driving privileges back after the suspension period has ended and you meet all reinstatement requirements. No tests are necessary.
Drivers with a foreign driver’s license
Suppose you move to North Dakota and hold a driver’s license issued by a country other than the United States or Canada. In that case, you must apply for an original North Dakota license and pass all tests.
Drivers Who Wish to Transfer an Out-of-State License
NDDOT usually waives the written knowledge test if you move to North Dakota and want to transfer your valid out-of-state license.
Should you let your out-of-state license expire for more than one year, you must apply for a new ND license and take all necessary tests as a first-time applicant.
Suppose your out-of-state license is in the process of being revoked, suspended, or canceled. In that case, you cannot transfer to a North Dakota license.
Your First Permit
If you are at least 14 years old, you can apply for an instruction Class D permit.
Before NDDOT issues the permit, you must pass a vision and written test. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must sign and approve your application.
Until you are 16, you can only drive a vehicle owned by your parents, legal guardians, grandparents, siblings, aunts, or uncles.
If you are under 16 years, you must hold the instruction permit for 12 months or until you are 16 years, whichever comes first. A minimum holding period of six months always applies.
If you are 16 or 17 years, you must hold the instruction permit for six months or until you turn 18, whichever comes first.
Applicants who are under 16 years must complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving during the permit phase. Your parent/legal guardian must accompany you to the road skills test and sign
that you have completed this requirement.
