Free Missouri DOR Practice Permit Test - Practice Test 2 2026
This Practice Test 2 is modeled on the Department of Revenue (DOR) written knowledge exam, which has 25 questions; to pass you need 20 of 25 correct (80%). Besides the 25-question written test (20 correct to pass), there is a separate road sign test. These 25 questions rotate through traffic laws, road signs, and right-of-way - the core topics the DOR tests most heavily. Every question includes an explanation, so you learn the rule behind each answer - not just whether you got it right.

2. The paved 'truck apron' on the inside of a roundabout is meant for:
- A. Cars that need to pass slower traffic
- B. Pickup trucks and SUVs only

3. When turning left at a green light (not a green arrow), you must:
- A. Turn immediately - green means go
- B. Yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians (correct)
- C. Turn first - oncoming traffic must yield to you
- D. Wait for oncoming traffic to stop
Why: A green ball (not arrow) allows a left turn only after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. A green arrow means you have a protected turn and oncoming traffic is stopped.
4. A sign reading 'YIELD' requires you to:
- A. Always come to a full stop first
- B. Slow down, give way, and stop if needed (correct)
- C. Go first - other drivers must yield to you
- D. Merge at the same speed as traffic
Why: A yield sign requires you to slow down and give the right of way to traffic and pedestrians. You must stop if necessary, but a full stop is not always required when the way is clear.
5. Double solid yellow center lines mean:
- A. Passing is allowed from both directions
- B. No passing from either direction (correct)
- C. Passing is allowed if the road ahead is clear
- D. A center lane for left turns only
Why: Double solid yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. Crossing them to pass is prohibited from both directions.
6. A school bus ahead of you turns on its flashing amber (yellow) lights. What does this tell you?
- A. The bus is about to stop - get ready to stop (correct)
- B. Children are crossing - stop right now
- C. The bus is turning, so pass it with care
- D. The bus is pulling over with a breakdown
Why: Flashing amber lights are a warning that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and prepare to stop; the red lights come on when the bus stops.
