Permit test guides
Answers to the questions people ask before the written permit test. Each guide links every rule and number to the state agency, the statute or the federal manual it comes from, and shows the day we last checked the sources.
What if the driver handbook and the law disagree?
Driver manuals can lag the law. Virginia’s still lists $30,000/$60,000/$20,000 insurance minimums; the law says $50,000/$100,000/$25,000. How to study for both.
Can you take the Florida permit test in Spanish?
No. FLHSMV gives the Florida knowledge test only in English since February 6, 2026, with no interpreters. It has 50 questions; 40 correct answers pass.
Do you have to get every road sign question right on the permit test?
In Virginia you must get all 10 road sign questions right. Georgia, North Carolina and New York also score signs on their own. The rules, from each DMV.
