Michigan 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 Michigan's knowledge test, and Michigan'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+ Michigan questions
and full-length mock exams in the app.
Q1. You notice one headlight is out at night. You should:
A Get it replaced promptly — it is an equipment violation and other drivers misjudge your positionB Drive with high beams insteadC Drive only on lit roadsD Wait for the next inspection
From a distance one light reads as a motorcycle, and oncoming drivers misjudge how much room you take. Fix it before driving at night again.
Q2. In Michigan, a newly licensed driver under 18 generally may not drive between:
A 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.B midnight to 5 a.m.C 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.D 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Documented exceptions usually cover work, school activities, emergencies and driving with a licensed adult. Carry the paperwork if you rely on one.
Q3. Grooves cut into the shoulder that make a loud noise when you drive over them are there to:
A Mark a bicycle laneB Warn you that you are drifting off the travel laneC Slow traffic in a work zoneD Drain water off the road
Rumble strips are a drowsiness and drift warning. If you hit one, ease back into the lane smoothly and consider stopping to rest.
Q4. In Michigan, when parking along a curb, your vehicle must not be parked:
A More than 3 feet from the curbB Facing against the flow of traffic only if signedC More than 12 inches from the curbD Closer than 6 inches to the curb
Michigan law says the curb should never be more than a foot (12 inches) from your parked vehicle.
Q5. Hazard lights should generally be used:
A While passing another vehicleB When your vehicle is stopped or moving unusually slowly and is a hazardC Any time you are in a hurryD Whenever it rains
In most states hazard lights while driving normally are prohibited because they hide your turn signals.
Q6. In Michigan, the minimum age to apply for a learner permit is:
A 14, 9 monthsB 14C 15D 14, 6 months
Applicants under 18 also need parental consent, and the permit must be held for a set period before the road test.
Q7. The accelerator sticks open. You should:
A Pump the accelerator until it freesB Switch off the engine at speedC Use the parking brake at full speedD Shift to neutral, brake, and steer to the side of the road
Neutral disconnects the engine from the wheels so you keep power steering and brakes. Once stopped, shut the engine off.
Q8. In Michigan, you may not park within how many feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing?
A 25 feetB 10 feetC 50 feetD 100 feet
Michigan prohibits parking within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing.
Q9. After a crash with injury or significant damage you must usually:
A Report it only if you were at faultB Report it only if a vehicle was towedC Report it to law enforcement or the state as your state requiresD Report it to your insurer only
Every state sets a damage threshold and a deadline for reporting. Exchange information at the scene and file the report on time.
Q10. In a work zone you should:
A Follow closely so the queue is shorterB Maintain the normal highway speedC Increase your following distance and expect sudden stopsD Change lanes often to keep moving
Rear-end collisions are the most common work-zone crash. More space is what prevents them.
