How should you interpret this sign?
A SPEED LIMIT sign posts the maximum lawful speed for good conditions, here 50 mph. It is not a required or minimum speed, and you should go slower when rain, fog or heavy traffic make 50 mph unsafe.
Tip The posted number is a ceiling for perfect conditions; in bad weather the safe speed is often lower.

Short answers about the tests and the site.
Is the practice free?
Yes. Practice tests run in your browser with no account. Your progress is saved on this device only.
Are these the real DMV questions?
No. They are original practice questions written by our team. They cover the topics the knowledge test covers, with an explanation for every answer, but they are not copied from any state test.
How many questions are on the Ohio permit test?
40 questions. You need 75% to pass. See the Ohio guide.
Is my state available?
Yes. All 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have their own page. We have no official test format on file for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, so their simulators use our standard practice-exam size. Find your state.
Is it available in Spanish?
Yes. Every question, answer and explanation is also in Spanish. Use the language link in the header to switch.
Is DMV Written Test a government service?
No. DMV Written Test is an independent practice resource and is not affiliated with any state DMV, BMV or government agency.
