The questions come from the Nevada Driver's Handbook (Official Driver Handbook, DMV 700) (DMV 700, March 2024, read 2026-10-12), which is what the real test is written from. Read it alongside these questions: every answer above names the section it comes from.
Nevada rules worth knowing before the test
- An instruction permit lasts one year, and you must have it with you every time you drive. Source
- Talking on a handheld phone while driving is illegal unless you use a hands-free accessory, and texting or browsing by hand is banned. Calling to report an emergency is allowed when stopping would be unsafe. Source
- Using a cell phone during the road test means you fail automatically, and you cannot use features like parking assist or cruise control on the test. Source
- After a full stop, you may turn left on a red light only when turning from one one-way street onto a second one-way street whose traffic moves to the left, unless a sign or officer says no. Source
- Open alcohol containers are not allowed in the driver or passenger area of a moving vehicle, except in places like the living quarters of a motor home or the back of a taxi or limo. Source
- No one under 18 may ride in the bed of a pickup or flatbed truck on a paved highway, except in an approved parade or during farm or ranch work. Source
- DUI convictions stay on your Nevada driving record for seven years; most other violations can be reported to your insurer for three years. Source
Signs, markings and signals
Every state’s test asks about road signs, which follow one national standard. Practise them with pictures on the road signs test.
