New York permit practice test 1
Twenty questions on the basics every new New York driver needs: STOP and YIELD signs, traffic lights, the default speed limit, school buses, emergency vehicles, following distance, seat belts, blood alcohol limits and what to do after a crash. Every answer comes from the New York State Driver's Manual (MV-21). The real written test has 20 questions, and you pass with at least 14 correct, of which at least 2 must be among the 4 road-sign questions. This set follows that format with 4 sign questions, and your result checks both rules: 14 of 20 overall and at least 2 of the 4 sign questions. There is no time limit.
Exam mode: timed, answers at the end, like the real test. Practice mode: untimed, the answer and explanation after each question.
