Results
#1. When you approach a roundabout, you should:
Slow down before entering a roundabout. Look to your left as you drive towards the entrance, yield to traffic already in the roundabout, bicyclists, and pedestrians in the crosswalk. Enter when there is a gap in traffic and merge with the other flow of vehicles.
#2. Lanes marked on both sides by double-broken yellow lines are known as:
Reversible lanes.
Some travel lanes are designed to carry traffic in one direction at certain times and in the opposite direction at other times. These lanes are called reversible lanes and are usually marked by double-broken yellow lines.
#3. When approaching a stopped school bus with flashing red lights traveling on your side of an undivided highway with four or more lanes, you must:
When alternate flashing red lights and the stop signal arm are activated, you must always stop if you travel in the same direction.
#4. Front door windows on a vehicle may be tinted to no more than:
Tinting or sun-screening material is permitted on the side and rear windows only (front door windows at no more than 65 percent light blockage). The total amount of light being transmitted through the glass of front door windows cannot be less than 35 percent.
#5. Which classified driver's license permits a person to drive a motorcycle?
You must have a Class M license or permit (or a driver’s license with the M endorsement) if you operate a motorcycle or motor tricycle on public roadways.
#6. A pedestrian has entered a crosswalk where there are no signs or signals. Who should be given the right of way?
You must yield when a pedestrian is in a marked or unmarked crosswalk on or approaching your side of the road. Even when you are facing a green light you must yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians in the intersection. Never assume you have the right-of-way.
#7. If you turn on high-beam headlights when driving in thick fog:
In fog or mist, never put your headlights on high beam because the light will be reflected back into your eyes. You will see less if your lights are on high beam.
#8. A white cloth tied to a radio antenna or a door handle indicates:
If your vehicle breaks down on a highway, make sure other drivers can see you and your vehicle. If at all possible, get your vehicle off the road and away from traffic. Alert other drivers by turning on your emergency flashers. It is also helpful to raise the hood, or tie a white cloth to the antenna.
#9. How does alcohol affect you?
Alcohol can significantly impair the brain and body so that it is unsafe to drive. Alcohol slows reflexes and decreases reaction time, making it unsafe for drivers to quickly react to a variety of situations. Alcohol can affect vision, including slowing down eye muscle function, altering visual perception, and impairing night vision. Alcohol can cause drowsiness, decreased concentration, and decreased attention. Alcohol can also impair coordination, reduce comprehension, and limit the ability to make rational decisions.
#10. When you approach a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates:
A white, X-shaped sign or crossbuck located at a railroad crossing has the same meaning as a yield sign.
#11. When an emergency vehicle with flashing lights approaches you in the opposite lane on an undivided highway, you should:
Pull over to the right edge of the road, or as near to the right as possible, when you see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching from any direction. If you are in an intersection, drive through the intersection before you pull over. Remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes. Follow any instructions given over the emergency vehicle’s loudspeaker. Emergency vehicles may follow each other so proceed only when the way is clear.
#12. Seat belts should always be worn:
Seat belts should always be worn with the lap belt low and snug across the hips and the shoulder belt across the chest. Shoulder belts should never be placed under the arm or behind the back.
#13. You will need more space to stop your vehicle when:
Your stopping distance equals your reaction distance plus your braking distance. If you are driving fast, are very tired, or if your vehicle has bad brakes, you will need more space to stop your vehicle. The reaction distance is the distance you travel after you see a danger and before you apply your brakes. In the chart shown in the Driver Guide, the reaction distance is for 1.5 seconds. You have to be alert to react within one and one-half seconds.
#14. Following closely behind another vehicle:
Rear-end crashes are very common. They are caused by drivers who follow too closely and cannot stop in time when the vehicle ahead suddenly stops.
#15. The best way to prevent making errors or being involved in a crash because of someone else's error when driving is to:
To avoid making mistakes, or being in a crash because of someone else’s mistake, you must drive defensively. As a defensive driver you should keep your eyes moving. Notice what is happening ahead of you and on the sides of the road, and check behind you through your mirrors every few seconds.
#16. Do not pass another vehicle:
Do not pass a vehicle that has stopped or slowed down for a pedestrian.
#17. When you park and leave your car, you must:
Never leave your car until you have stopped the engine, removed the key and set the parking brake.
#18. When it starts to rain or snow:
Rain and snow reduces visibility and makes the road dangerous. Even in light rain or drizzle, turn on your windshield wipers before visibility is blocked. You must also use your headlights. Reduce speed. Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead of you.
#19. When you have stopped at a red light, you must wait for the signal to turn green before you proceed:
A red light tells you to stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or before the intersection. Unless you are making a right turn, you must wait for the signal to turn green before you proceed.
#20. If a law enforcement officer stops you:
When you see emergency lights behind you, stay calm, activate your turn signal, and pull off or to the side of the roadway as soon and safely as possible. Turn off the ignition and radio, and stay in your vehicle unless directed by the officer to exit. Keep your hands on the steering wheel so they are easily observable. Ask your passengers to stay in the vehicle while keeping their hands in plain view as well. Give the officer your full attention. Cell phones and mobile devices should not be used by you or any of your passengers. Do not make sudden moves or search for your driver’s license or vehicle documents – wait for the officer to give you instructions. If you have a weapon(s) in the vehicle, inform the officer upon first contact.
#21. If you have a tire blowout while driving, you should:
If you have a tire blowout, the steering wheel may jerk, and you may lose control of your vehicle. Don’t try to steer off the road before the car has slowed down.
- Hold the steering wheel tightly.
- Take your foot off the accelerator, but do not hit the brakes.
- Steer completely off the road and apply the brakes when the vehicle is almost stopped.
- Turn on your emergency flashers.
- Change the tire only if you can do so without placing yourself in danger.
#22. If a deer suddenly runs in front of your vehicle and a crash is unavoidable, you should:
If you see that a crash is unavoidable, do not swerve. Swerving off the road or into the path of an oncoming car can increase the risk of injury. Be aware that too much brake pressure can cause the front end of the vehicle to drop down, striking the deer in the legs and allowing the body to come into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
#23. Where is a U-turn always illegal?
U-turns are illegal on a one-way street (you will be driving against traffic).
#24. On a cell phone, the highway patrol statewide toll free emergency assistance number is:
The cellular number to call in an emergency is *55 (star 55).
#25. Which of the following is NOT considered safe driving on an interstate system?
Changing lanes without signaling is not considered safe driving.

Missouri License & Permit Practice Test
This practice test for your Missouri written knowledge exam has 25 random questions based on the Driver Guide and actual tests released by MO Driver’s License Bureau. You can take the practice test as often as needed. Since all tests have random questions from a large bank, questions in each test differ.
After each question, you get the correct answer and an explanation. When you complete the test, you will see your score.
The passing score in Missouri is 80 percent, which means you must answer at least 20 questions correctly. When you study, you should go for a 100% score. That way, you will know that you can pass the real examination.
Missouri 4-part Driver Examination
To get your full unrestricted driver’s license in Missouri, you must pass four different tests:
This practice test focuses on the 25-question written knowledge test. To check your knowledge of common road signs described in the Missouri Driver Guide, you should try this practice test: Missouri Road Sign Recognition Test .
1 Start by Getting the Missouri Driver Guide
When you are ready to prepare for the first steps of your driver’s examination, you should start by getting the Missouri Driver Guide.
The latest version of the Driver Guide is available at your local Driver Licensing Office and online.
You must know the basic Missouri traffic laws and safe driving practices described in this guide. Read it at least two or three times during a week or two. It is best to take your time digesting all the new information.
2 Use the Practice Test to Check Your Progress
When you think you have mastered the guide’s contents, use these practice tests to check if you are ready for the real exam.
A practice test is a learning and diagnostic tool but not a good cheat sheet.
The sample questions help you understand the exam’s questions and which areas they may cover. The practice test has many sample questions but may not include all possible questions that the Driver Examination Division may throw at you when the day comes.
You should also be aware that Driversprep.com is not affiliated with any Missouri state or Government Entity. What you see here is not the official online knowledge test certifying your permit or license eligibility.
Who Must Take the MO Written Knowledge Test?
Requirements differ slightly depending on your age, whether you are applying for a new license or permit, renewing one, or recently moved to Missouri.
You must take the complete four-part driver examination if:
You are a new driver.
New drivers must pass all tests to be eligible for a driver’s license.
If you are under 18 years, the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) law requires you to complete a period of driving with a licensed driver (instruction permit) and restricted driving (intermediate license) before getting a full driver’s license.
You let your license expire for more than six months.
If you let your Missouri driver’s license expire more than 184 days, you must retake all tests.
If you move to Missouri and have an out-of-state license that is expired more than 184 days, you must also pass all tests.
You have a foreign license.
If you have a license from a country other than the United States and Canada, you must also pass all tests before you are eligible for a Missouri license.
Your license was revoked
You must apply for a new license and pass all tests if your license was revoked because of too many points on your driving record or because of an Administrative Alcohol action.
The Director of Revenue has reasons to ask for a re-examination.
When there are reasonable grounds, the Director of Revenue can require a re-examination, even if your current driver’s license is still valid.
When is the Knowledge Test Waived?
Your examiner will typically waive the knowledge test if you move to Missouri and transfer your out-of-state driver’s license to a Missouri license. Your out-of-state license must be valid. A transfer is impossible if the out-of-state license is suspended, revoked, or expired for more than six months.
Even if the clerk waives the written test, you must still pass the vision screening and the road sign identification test .
When you renew your Missouri driver’s license, you must also take the vision and road sign identification tests again.
The Official Written Test
The written test will verify your knowledge of Missouri traffic laws and driving methods.
The test is not an open-book test. Cheating, using, or attempting to use any recording, photographic, or two-way communicating device during the test may be considered fraud. Fraud is a Class “A” misdemeanor that may result in losing your driving privilege for up to one year.
Missouri State Highway Patrol offers the written test on a computer or paper. Oral tests are also available, typically as part of the computer’s audio system. You can also request to have the test read to you by an examiner.
The written test on paper is available in 11 foreign languages plus English.

If you fail the test, you can retake the test at the discretion of the examiner. There is no official wait time, but don’t expect they will allow you to retake it the same day. You are, however, usually allowed to retake it the next business day.
There is no time limit on the test.
You take your test at a Missouri State Highway Patrol testing location. They offer testing in all 114 Missouri counties.
Missouri does not offer online testing from home.
Missouri Graduated Licensing Program
All first-time drivers between 15 and 18 years must complete a period of driving with a licensed driver (instruction permit) and restricted driving (intermediate license) before getting a full driver’s license.
Step 1: Instruction Permit
To get your first instruction permit, you must:
Be at least 15 years old.
Pass vision screen, road sign recognition test, and the written knowledge test.
Have a signed permission statement from a parent, legal guardian, or certified trainer.
You must present the test form to a local license office to apply for the temporary instruction permit. The six-month permit term begins with issuing the instruction permit, NOT the test form. Your test form from the Missouri State Highway Patrol is not legal for driving.
With a valid instruction permit, you may drive when accompanied in the front seat by a parent, legal guardian, or certified trainer with a federal residential job training program unless you are 16 years or older. If you are 16 years or older, you may drive when accompanied in the front seat by any driver who is at least 21 years old and has a valid driver’s license.
When you practice driving, you must always carry the permit with you. The driver and all passengers must wear seat belts, and you cannot use a hand-held electronic wireless communication device for sending, reading, or writing a text or electronic message.
The permit is valid for 12 months.

Have completed 40 hours of supervised driving, of which 10 must be at night.
Pass vision, road sign, and written tests if previous results are more than one year old.
Pass the road skills test.
With a valid intermediate license, you may drive without supervision. The license, however, comes with passenger restrictions and a night curfew.
Passenger restriction:
- During the first six months, you cannot drive with more than one passenger who is under 19 years old and who is not a member of your immediate family.
- After the first six months, you cannot drive with more than three passengers who are under 19 years old and who are not members of your immediate family
Night curfew:
You cannot drive alone between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. except to and from a school activity, job, or emergency. You may also drive at night if a licensed driver at least 21 years old accompanies you.
Step 3: Unrestricted License
The next step is the Under-21 unrestricted license.
To get your license:
Results from your previous Missouri written test and road skills test cannot be more than one year old.
Your Missouri instruction permit must be valid or expired no more than six months ago.
You must pass the vision screening and the road sign recognition test again.
Your driver record cannot show any alcohol-related offenses or traffic convictions in the last 12 months.
