Try again Read the Mississippi guide Question 1 of 20 Seatbelts in the front seat of a vehicle are required: A For the driver only B For all front-seat occupants C For passengers under 18 only D Only on highways Explanation. All 50 states require seatbelts for front-seat occupants. Most states also require them for back-seat passengers under 18 (and many for all back-seat passengers). Question 2 of 20 Blue background signs with white letters typically indicate: A Regulatory laws B Recreation and cultural sites C Motorist services such as gas, food, and lodging D Construction zones Explanation. Blue is used for motorist services: gas stations, food, lodging, hospitals, and rest areas. Question 3 of 20 What should you do if your accelerator gets stuck while driving? A Turn off the engine immediately B Shift into neutral and brake to stop C Pump the brake and steer onto the shoulder D Turn the steering wheel sharply Explanation. Shift to neutral first — the engine can rev safely while disengaged from the wheels — then brake to stop. Turning off the engine disables power steering. Question 4 of 20 Mississippi participates in the Driver License Compact, which means: A Out-of-state violations stay out of state B You can hold licenses in multiple states C Serious violations in member states follow you to Mississippi D You do not need a $name license if you have one from another state Explanation. The Driver License Compact ensures that suspensions and major violations in member states are reported to your home state. Mississippi will treat them as if they happened locally. Question 5 of 20 "Move Over" laws require you to: A Slow down for any pedestrian B Change lanes or slow down when passing a stopped emergency or roadside vehicle C Move to the right lane on all freeways D Yield to commercial vehicles Explanation. Move Over laws apply when you pass any stopped emergency vehicle, tow truck, or roadside-assistance vehicle with flashing lights. Question 6 of 20 A broken white line between lanes means: A You may not change lanes B You may change lanes when it is safe C You are on a one-way street D Traffic flows in both directions Explanation. Broken white lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may cross when it is safe. Question 7 of 20 You arrive at an intersection where the traffic signals are not working. You should: A Continue through at normal speed B Treat it as a four-way stop C Wait for someone else to go first D Yield only to vehicles on the right Explanation. A non-functioning signal is treated as a four-way stop. Stop completely, then proceed in the order vehicles arrived. Question 8 of 20 What is the current fee for a learner's permit in Mississippi? A $10 B $25 C $50 D $2 Explanation. Mississippi currently charges $2 for a learner's permit. Fees change occasionally — verify with the MS DPS before your visit. Question 9 of 20 A "Stop Ahead" sign is shaped like a: A Yellow diamond B Red octagon C Yellow pentagon D Orange diamond Explanation. "Stop Ahead" is a warning sign — yellow diamond — used where a stop sign may be hidden by curves, hills, or vegetation. Question 10 of 20 In a four-wheel skid, you should: A Slam on the brakes B Steer in the direction you want to go and ease off the gas C Turn the wheel sharply away from the skid D Shift to neutral and accelerate Explanation. "Steer into the skid" — point the wheels where you want the car to go and ease off the gas. Sudden braking worsens a skid. Question 11 of 20 A blind pedestrian carrying a white cane has stepped into the crosswalk. You must: A Honk to alert them you are coming B Stop and wait until they have completely crossed C Drive slowly around them D Continue if you have the right of way Explanation. Pedestrians with white canes or guide dogs always have the right of way, regardless of where they are crossing. Stop and wait. Question 12 of 20 When parking on a road with no curb (uphill or downhill), your front wheels should be: A Toward the road B Away from the road (toward the shoulder) C Straight D In any position Explanation. Without a curb, always turn wheels toward the shoulder so a runaway car rolls off the road instead of into traffic. Question 13 of 20 While driving in Mississippi with your learner's permit, you must be accompanied by: A Anyone over 18 B A licensed driver age 21 or older in the front seat C Only a parent or legal guardian D A driving instructor only Explanation. Mississippi (like nearly every state) requires permit holders to drive only with a licensed adult age 21 or older in the front passenger seat. Some states also restrict night driving and passengers. Question 14 of 20 If you move to Mississippi from another state with a valid out-of-state license, you generally must: A Continue using your old license indefinitely B Transfer your license to a Mississippi license, usually within 30–60 days of establishing residency C Take a full road test again immediately D Surrender your license to the state police Explanation. Most new Mississippi residents must transfer to a Mississippi driver's license within 30–60 days of establishing residency. The MS DPS will accept your out-of-state license with proof of residency and identity, often without a road test. Question 15 of 20 When two vehicles meet on a steep mountain road and only one can pass: A The vehicle going downhill must back up B The vehicle going uphill must back up C The smaller vehicle must back up D The faster vehicle has the right of way Explanation. The vehicle going downhill must back up because it is easier to control a vehicle backing uphill than backing down a steep grade. Question 16 of 20 The legal BAC limit for adult drivers (age 21 and older) in nearly every state is: A 0.02% B 0.05% C 0.08% D 0.10% Explanation. 0.08% is the per-se DUI limit for adults in 49 states (Utah is 0.05%). Above this, you are legally impaired regardless of how you feel. Question 17 of 20 What does ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) do? A Locks your wheels for faster stops B Prevents wheels from locking during hard braking C Replaces normal brakes D Activates only on highways Explanation. ABS prevents wheels from locking up during hard braking, which lets you continue to steer. Apply firm, continuous pressure — do not pump. Question 18 of 20 What does a flashing red traffic signal mean? A Slow down and proceed with caution B Stop completely, then proceed when safe C Stop and wait for the light to turn green D The signal is malfunctioning — call 911 Explanation. Treat a flashing red signal exactly like a stop sign — come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe. Question 19 of 20 You are driving at the posted speed limit on an Interstate. Heavy fog rolls in. You should: A Maintain your speed because you are within the legal limit B Reduce your speed to a safe level for conditions C Use your high beams to see better D Stop in the right lane until the fog clears Explanation. The basic speed law requires you to drive at a speed reasonable for conditions. Visibility is the key factor — slow down significantly in fog. Question 20 of 20 When entering a roundabout, you must: A Stop and wait for a green arrow B Yield to traffic already in the circle C Drive faster to merge quickly D Always go right, never left Explanation. All US roundabouts move counter-clockwise. Yield to vehicles already in the circle before entering. Grade my test Your answers stay on your device — nothing is saved or sent.
