Take a free, untimed Connecticut DMV practice test in the real exam format: 25 questions, 20 correct to pass. Fresh random questions every attempt.
The Connecticut knowledge test is a single 25-question exam covering road signs and the rules of the road together. You need 20 correct (80%) to pass.
Answer: Whoever arrives first
At an uncontrolled intersection, the vehicle that arrives first generally has the right-of-way.
Right-of-Way
Answer: Come to a full stop, then check for oncoming traffic and any sign prohibiting the turn
Right turn on red is allowed only after a full stop, and only after checking that there's no oncoming traffic and no sign prohibiting the turn.
Signals
Answer: No — Connecticut instead relies on conviction-count and suspension-table mechanisms
Connecticut does not publish a classic point-value-per-violation table for the general driving public; instead it uses conviction-count and suspension-table mechanisms like the Operator Retraining Program and the 16/17 suspension table.
License Actions
Answer: No closer than 10 feet
Connecticut prohibits parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.
Parking Rules
Answer: A rear-facing-only or rear-facing convertible seat with a 5-point harness
A child under 2 OR under 30 lbs (regardless of age) requires a rear-facing-only or rear-facing convertible seat with a 5-point harness.
Child Passenger Safety
Answer: Cross traffic on the road without a stop sign has the right-of-way
At a two-way stop, traffic on the road without a stop sign has the right-of-way over traffic that must stop.
Right-of-Way
Answer: Stop, and you may not go in the arrow's direction until you get a green arrow or green light
A red arrow means stop — you cannot go in the arrow's direction, and may only proceed once you get a green arrow or a green light.
Signals
Answer: 2 or more
Drivers 24 or younger face mandatory retraining after 2 or more moving-violation or suspension-violation convictions.
License Actions

Questions and exam format researched against Connecticut's official driver handbook and state sources. Last verified 19 August 2026.
Connecticut Driver's Manual (Rev. 3/2023, ct.gov/dmv) and the official DMV knowledge-test information page (confirming 25 questions, 20 correct required to pass = 80%, no separate sign-recognition section) — researched and verified 2026-08-19. Mock config (ruleCount: 25, rulePassPct: 0.8, unified format, signCount: 0) is directly confirmed by the DMV, not an estimate. Statute citation used: reckless driving §14-222(a). Connecticut does not publish a numeric point-value-per-violation table for the general driving public (a genuine state-specific deviation from most states); the 'points' category (labeled 'License Actions') instead models Connecticut's real conviction-count/suspension-table mechanisms: work-zone violation consequences, the age-tiered Operator Retraining Program (2+ convictions for age 24 or younger, 3+ for age 25+, plus a 3-year lookback for post-retraining violations), and the 16/17-year-old offense-count suspension table covering GDL, cell phone/texting, 20+-mph-over speeding, and reckless driving/street racing violations. Deliberately excluded gaps, flagged during research as unconfirmed rather than invented: unposted/default numeric speed limits for residential, business, rural, and highway roads; whether left turn on red is permitted under any circumstance; the adult (21+) BAC threshold number (0.08% is the customary nationwide figure but was not directly located in the manual this session); reckless driving's textual behavioral definition beyond the §14-222(a) citation; the exact dollar penalty for a move-over law violation; and the specific statute number behind the wipers-headlights rule. Re-verify periodically, as DMV handbook content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
