  1. Q1Road signs

    STOP

    What is the primary meaning and required driver response to an octagonal red traffic sign?

    1. ASlow down significantly and yield to oncoming vehicles without stopping
    2. BMaintain your current speed while scanning both directions of the cross street
    3. CStop only if pedestrians or crossing traffic are immediately visible
    4. DCome to a complete stop at the marked line and proceed only when clear
    Show answer

    D. Come to a complete stop at the marked line and proceed only when clear An octagonal eight-sided red sign always means STOP under Alabama law. You must bring your vehicle to a complete stop at the marked stop line or crosswalk before entering the intersection. If no line is painted, stop before entering the intersecting roadway where you have an unobstructed view. You may proceed only after yielding the right-of-way to all pedestrians and approaching vehicles.

  2. Q2Road signs

    What rule governs right-of-way when multiple drivers arrive at an intersection controlled by four-way STOP signs?

    1. AVehicles leave in order of arrival, and ties yield to the vehicle on the right
    2. BThe driver on the primary roadway always proceeds ahead of side roads
    3. CThe vehicle traveling straight must always yield right-of-way to any vehicle making a left turn
    4. DThe largest vehicle or commercial truck always has statutory precedence
    Show answer

    A. Vehicles leave in order of arrival, and ties yield to the vehicle on the right Vehicles at a four-way stop should leave the stop signs in the same order in which they arrived. The first vehicle to come to a complete stop is the first permitted to proceed. When two or more vehicles arrive at the exact same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle furthest to the right.

  3. Q3Intersections and turns

    How far in advance of an intended turn must an Alabama driver continuously signal their intention to turn?

    1. AAt least 10 feet before turning the steering wheel
    2. BAt least 200 feet before beginning the turn maneuver
    3. CAt least 50 feet before reaching the intersection
    4. DAt least 100 feet before making the turn
    Show answer

    D. At least 100 feet before making the turn You must signal your intention to turn at least 100 feet before making the actual turn. You must continue signaling continuously until you are ready to make the turn. Signaling provides essential advance warning to pedestrians and other motorists sharing the roadway, allowing them to adjust their spacing and speed safely.

Alabama ALEA Permit FAQ

The Alabama Driver Manual publishes neither the question count nor the passing score for the knowledge test. ALEA administers the exam on automated computer equipment for a $5.00 fee per attempt (Chapter 1, p. 11). QuizCram provides 30-question practice sets targeting an 80 percent benchmark.

You must be at least 15 years old to obtain a Stage I learner license in Alabama. You must pass the written knowledge and vision exams, pay the testing fee, and drive only when accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, certified instructor, or licensed driver age 21 or older in the front seat.

Key challenge areas include statutory speed limits for different road types, the Alabama Move Over law speed reductions (15 mph below limit), specific parking setback distances (15 ft from hydrants, 20 ft from crosswalks, 30 ft from signals), and DUI blood alcohol limits (0.08% adult, 0.02% under 21 or school bus).

No. These are original practice questions written from the official Alabama Driver Manual (November 2024 edition) and verified against its text, with manual chapters and printed page numbers cited on every answer. QuizCram is not affiliated with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA).

Yes. Open the exam simulator and sit a timed mock test of 20 questions built from the free questions, once, with no signup. Unlocking the exam adds full-length runs of 30 questions in 30 minutes (a practice clock), as many as you like, each a new draw from the whole bank.

The exam's agency publishes no topic weights, so it mixes topics in proportion to the question bank, favouring questions you missed before and never repeating one within a run. A retake is a new draw, so you will meet different questions. It is a practice mock test, not an official replica of the real exam.
