Utah's permit knowledge test is 50 questions, and you need 40 correct (about 80%) to pass.
Pick an answer on each question to see whether you got it right, with an explanation.
This is a short sample — DriveDrill has 200+ Utah questions
and full-length mock exams in the app.
Q1. A flagger in a work zone holds up a sign reading SLOW. You should:
A Stop until the sign is turnedB Slow down and pass through with cautionC Change lanes immediatelyD Maintain speed if the lane is open
Flaggers have the same authority as signs and signals in a work zone. Follow their direction and watch for workers on foot.
Q2. You are being passed by a large truck. You should:
A Stay to the right of your lane and let it passB Speed up so it takes less timeC Brake hard to help it inD Move left toward the center line
Hold a steady speed and keep right within your lane. Air turbulence can push a small car, so keep both hands on the wheel.
Q3. In Utah, what is a driver license issued to a person under 21 years of age called?
A An intermediate licenseB A restricted-term licenseC A provisional licenseD A junior operator license
Utah's handbook defines a Provisional License as a Utah license issued to any person under 21 years of age.
Q4. Driving far below the speed limit when conditions are good:
A Is always safestB Can be dangerous and may be a violationC Is required of new driversD Is allowed in any lane
Traffic that moves at very different speeds causes crashes. If you must go slow, stay right and let others pass.
Q5. A crash with the vehicle ahead is unavoidable. The safest choice is usually to:
A Take your hands off the wheelB Brake hard and steer toward something that gives, such as bushes or a shoulderC Steer into oncoming trafficD Speed up to reduce the impact
Reduce speed as much as possible and choose a glancing impact with something soft over a head-on with something solid.
Q6. In Utah, a newly licensed driver under 18 generally may not drive between:
A midnight to 5 a.m.B 11 p.m. 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.
Q7. Where a state uses a point system, it is used to:
A Track violations and suspend the licenses of repeat offendersB Decide insurance rates onlyC Reward safe drivers with discountsD Rank drivers by skill
Points accumulate with each conviction and are removed over time. Reaching the threshold brings a suspension. A few states, such as Minnesota, act on specific violations instead of points.
Q8. Blood alcohol concentration depends on:
A Only how much you drankB Only how tired you areC Only what you ateD How much you drank, over how long, your body weight and other factors
Two people drinking the same amount can end up at very different levels, so nobody can judge their own BAC reliably.
Q9. In Utah, a driver 21 or older who is not driving a commercial vehicle breaks the law with a blood alcohol concentration over:
A 0.05%B 0.12%C 0.08%D 0.10%
Utah was the first state to set its limit at 0.05%, below the 0.08% used elsewhere. Commercial drivers are held to 0.04%, and you can be charged below the limit if you are impaired.
Q10. In Utah, the move-over law requires you to change lanes, or slow down, when passing:
A Any stopped vehicle showing hazard lights or other warning signalsB Only stopped police, fire and ambulance vehiclesC Stopped emergency vehicles and certain work or service vehicles showing warning lights, but not ordinary cars with hazard lights onD Only vehicles stopped inside a marked work zone
Move to a lane that is not next to the stopped vehicle when you safely can. When you cannot, slow down. People working at the roadside are struck every year by drivers who did neither.
