Alabama Learner's Permit Practice Test

ALEA (Alabama Law Enforcement Agency) Driver License Manual, PDF fetched directly from https://www.alea.gov/sites/default/files/ALEA%20DL%20Manual.pdf (linked from https://www.alea.gov/dps/driver-license/driver-license-manuals), cross-checked against the codified Alabama Code § 32-5-222 (child passenger restraint statute, via https://codes.findlaw.com/al/title-32-motor-vehicles-and-traffic/al-code-sect-32-5-222.html) — researched and verified 2026-08-19, re-verified 2026-08-20. Exam format: unified format confirmed structurally (no separate sign-recognition gate), but ALEA does not publish an official knowledge-test question count or passing percentage anywhere in the manual — re-checked directly against the manual PDF's own knowledge-test section this session (fee $5.00, oral/foreign-language options described) and confirmed the omission is real, not a prior research gap. { signCount: 0, signPassCount: 0, ruleCount: 35, rulePassPct: 0.8 } remains a clearly-flagged ESTIMATE, consistent with the ratio used by other unified-format states already in this app — re-verify against ALEA if an official number is ever published. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented: the points category is built only around the confirmed reckless-driving-equals-6-points fact and the confirmed 12-14/15-17/18-20/21-23/24+ suspension-day schedule — the manual's full per-violation point table (speeding brackets, following too closely, improper lane use, etc.) was garbled during source extraction and those exact values could not be confirmed, so they are omitted rather than guessed. Also not asserted: a specific mph-over-limit definition of reckless driving, a work-zone fine-doubling rule, exact red-arrow signal text beyond the shared federal content, and a specific supervised-driving-hours number for GDL holders (found only on a secondary, non-manual website). CHILD RESTRAINT THRESHOLD — RESOLVED 2026-08-20: last session flagged that a statute sometimes referenced as "Emma and Alli's Law" (circa 2023) might have raised Alabama's rear-facing threshold to age 2, and could not confirm this because secondary sources 404'd. This session independently re-verified against two current, authoritative, primary sources: (1) the live ALEA DL Manual PDF fetched fresh today, whose Chapter 3 "Alabama's Safety Belt and Child Restraint Laws" section states verbatim "Infant-only seat or convertible seat used in the rear-facing position until an infant is at least 1 year of age or 20 pounds," and (2) the codified text of Alabama Code § 32-5-222 itself, which states the identical 1-year-or-20-pound rear-facing threshold. A search of the Alabama Legislature's own bill-search tool (alison.legislature.state.al.us) for "Emma and Alli's Law" returned no matching enacted legislation. Given two independent, current, official sources agree and no enacted law changing the threshold could be found, r95/r96/r97 (rear-facing to 1yr/20lbs, forward-facing to 5yrs/40lbs, booster to age 6, seat belt/restraint to age 15) are CONFIRMED CURRENT as written — no content change was needed. If a genuine post-2026 statutory change is later confirmed, revisit these three questions specifically. Re-verify all figures periodically, as ALEA manual content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
