Try 5 California permit test practice questions
What is the maximum speed on most California highways unless posted otherwise?
Show answer
D. 65 mph The maximum speed on most California highways is 65 mph unless a sign posts a different limit (some freeways allow 70 mph only where posted). 55 mph is the default for two-lane undivided highways, not standard highways, which is why it is a common wrong choice. Always obey a posted sign when it differs from this default.
What BAC can get a driver age 21+ arrested for DUI in California?
Show answer
A. 0.08% A driver 21 or older can be arrested for driving under the influence at a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. This is the 'per se' limit, meaning no other proof of impairment is needed. 0.05% is below the adult limit, while 0.10% and 0.15% also count but are not the legal threshold.
What minimum following distance should you keep in good conditions?
Show answer
B. 3 seconds Keep at least a 3-second following distance in good conditions. Pick a fixed point on the road; you should reach it no sooner than 3 seconds after the car ahead passes it. One or two seconds leaves too little time to react and brake at normal speeds, and you should add more seconds in rain, fog, or heavy traffic.
When parallel parking, how close must your wheels be to the curb?
Show answer
B. Within 18 inches When you finish parallel parking, your wheels must be within 18 inches of the curb. Parking farther out leaves your car sticking into traffic, while the 6-inch and 12-inch options are stricter than the law actually requires. Eighteen inches is the maximum allowed gap from the curb.
Who has the right-of-way at an unmarked crosswalk?
Show answer
A. The pedestrian Pedestrians have the right-of-way in any crosswalk, marked or unmarked, and an unmarked crosswalk still exists at most intersections even without painted lines. 'The driver always' and 'whoever arrives first' are wrong because the law puts pedestrian safety first. Slow down, yield, and let the pedestrian finish crossing.
