Free Arizona MVD Test Simulator 2026
This DMV Test Simulator is modeled on the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) written knowledge exam, which has 30 questions; to pass you need 24 of 30 correct (80%). It is a mock test: 30 questions, the length of the real test, scored to the 80% pass mark. Answers are marked only when you submit the whole test, then you review every question with its explanation. Every question includes an explanation, so you learn the rule behind each answer - not just whether you got it right.

Want to test yourself first? Take the test above before reading these. Every answer below is checked against the source shown.
1. Arizona may set the maximum speed limit on rural interstate highways as high as:
- A. 75 mph (correct)
- B. 65 mph
- C. 70 mph
- D. 80 mph
Why: The Arizona Driver License Manual lists 75 mph on rural freeways, 65 mph on designated open highways, and 55 mph on other open highways or city freeways when no other limit is posted. Always obey posted limits.
Source: official Arizona driver handbook, Page 40 of 74, speed limits when no limit is posted
2. Under Arizona's zero-tolerance law, it is illegal for a driver under 21 to drive with:

- B. A blood alcohol level of 0.05 or more
- C. A blood alcohol level of 0.08 or more
- D. A blood alcohol level of 0.10 or more
Why: Arizona has zero tolerance: it is unlawful for a driver under 21 to operate a vehicle with any spirituous liquor in their body.

3. What does this sign tell you about the bridge ahead?
- A. It is narrower than the road (correct)
- B. It is closed to all traffic
- C. It may be icy in cold weather

4. What does a yellow pennant-shaped sign (a sideways triangle pointing right) on the left side of the road mean?
- A. Merge ahead
- B. No-passing zone begins (correct)
- C. A sharp curve
- D. Passing lane begins ahead
Why: A yellow pennant-shaped sign on the left side of the road marks the beginning of a no-passing zone. It supplements the solid yellow line on the pavement.
5. In most states, you must not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant?
- A. 5 feet
- B. 10 feet
- C. 15 feet (correct)
- D. 30 feet
Why: Most states (including California, Texas, New York, Florida and Pennsylvania) prohibit parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Some use a shorter distance (for example 10 feet in Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon), so check your state handbook.

6. Your regular brakes have failed and pumping did not help. How should you use the parking (emergency) brake?
- A. Apply it slowly and gradually (correct)
- B. Pull it on as hard as you can
- C. Only after the car has stopped
- D. Apply it and release it rapidly
Why: Setting the parking brake too hard or too fast can lock the wheels and throw the car into a skid. Apply it slowly while you steer to a safe place.
