Delaware doesn't publish its knowledge-test length and pass score on an official page we could confirm, so we don't state numbers here. The questions in this quiz are written in the style of Delaware's knowledge test, and Delaware's official driver handbook (linked below) is the source to study from.
Pick an answer on each question to see whether you got it right, with an explanation.
This is a short sample — DriveDrill has 200+ Delaware questions
and full-length mock exams in the app.
Q1. Driving into low sun glare, the best response is to:
A Use high beamsB Slow down, use your visor and sunglasses, and increase following distanceC Follow the car ahead closely to use it as a shieldD Speed up to get past the glare
Glare hides brake lights and pedestrians. Slow down, clean the inside of your windshield, and leave more room.
Q2. A flashing red traffic light means:
A Stop, then go when it is safeB The signal is out of order — do not enterC Stop and wait for the light to turn greenD Slow down and proceed with caution
Treat a flashing red exactly like a stop sign: full stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians, then proceed when the way is clear.
Q3. You come up behind slow-moving farm equipment displaying an orange triangle. You should:
A Pass immediately on the rightB Follow closely and sound your hornC Flash your lights until it pulls overD Slow down and pass only when you have a clear, legal opportunity
The orange triangle marks a vehicle travelling under 25 mph. Closing speed is higher than it looks, so slow early and pass only with a long clear view.
Q4. In Delaware, unless another limit is posted, the speed limit in a school zone when children are present is:
A 15 mphB 25 mphC 20 mphD 35 mph
The 20 mph school-zone limit applies when children are present. Watch for children who may dart into the street.
Q5. A conviction for driving under the influence usually results in:
A Points onlyB A warning for the first offense everywhereC A fine that can be paid to avoid a recordD License suspension, fines and possible jail, plus much higher insurance costs
The license consequence is administrative and starts before any court date in most states, and the record follows you for years.
Q6. In Delaware, headlights must be turned on any time you cannot see:
A Beyond 1,000 feetB Beyond 200 feetC Beyond 500 feetD Beyond 2,500 feet
Delaware law requires headlights on any time visibility drops to less than 1,000 feet, in addition to sunset-to-sunrise use.
Q7. Counting seconds after the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point is a way to:
A Time how long to signal before turningB Time how long to wait at a stop signC Judge when to switch on headlightsD Judge a safe following distance behind the vehicle ahead
Pick a sign or pole; when the vehicle ahead passes it, start counting. If you reach it before your count is up, drop back. States set the minimum anywhere from two to four seconds in good conditions, and every state says to add time for rain, night and large vehicles.
Q8. An unsecured load in the back of a pickup truck is:
A Illegal and dangerous to traffic behind youB Fine if it is under the tailgate lineC Only a problem on highwaysD Fine on local roads
You are responsible for anything that falls off your vehicle. Tie loads down and cover loose material.
Q9. In Delaware, a new resident who holds an out-of-state driver license must apply for a Delaware license:
A Within 6 months after becoming a residentB Within 60 days after becoming a residentC Within 1 year after becoming a residentD Within 10 days after becoming a resident
Delaware's manual states that a driver moving into the state must apply for a Delaware license within 60 days after becoming a resident.
Q10. In Delaware, a child must ride in a rear-facing car seat until the child is:
A At least age 2 and 30 poundsB At least age 4 and 40 poundsC At least age 1 and 20 poundsD At least age 3 and 35 pounds
Delaware law sets the rear-facing car seat requirement at under age 2 and 30 pounds.
