Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Idaho Driver's Handbook (July 2026 edition), official PDF fetched directly from https://itd.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/driver_manual.pdf — linked from the Idaho Transportation Department's own "Taking the Driver's Test" guide at https://itd.idaho.gov/guide/taking-the-drivers-test/, reached via the ITD DMV portal at https://itd.idaho.gov/dmv (dmv.idaho.gov 302-redirects there) — plus the ITD Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Fact Sheet, form ITD 3506 (Rev. 4/24), fetched directly from https://itd.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/3506_gdlfactsheet.pdf. Researched and verified 2026-08-19; citation gap closed and both documents re-fetched and text-extracted 2026-08-20. CITATION CORRECTION 2026-08-20: the prior note labeled the handbook "ITD 01-9530906" — that form number appears NOWHERE in the extracted text of the live PDF (whose cover reads simply "DRIVER'S HANDBOOK / JULY 2026"), so it has been dropped rather than carried forward unverified; the July 2026 edition date and the ITD 3506 (Rev. 4/24) fact-sheet number ARE both confirmed verbatim in the fetched files. Mock exam format is fully confirmed by the current handbook, not estimated — its "Knowledge Test: Class D (Non-Commercial)" section states verbatim: "The knowledge test consists of 40 questions; you can miss up to six (6) questions before failing the test," i.e. 34/40 = 85%, drawn from one combined pool with no separate sign-recognition section (signCount: 0). Known gaps deliberately NOT invented, per the handbook's own silence on them: the exact dollar multiplier/fine amount for work-zone speeding penalties; a specific mph-over-limit threshold for reckless driving (Idaho's statute is conduct-based — 'willful disregard for safety' — with no fixed number given); a violation-by-violation points table (only the 1-4 point range and the suspension thresholds are published); the dollar fine amount for parking in a handicap space without a valid placard; an Idaho-specific weight/height bracket for child safety seats beyond the confirmed 'age 6 and under' rule; and any GDL-specific cell-phone restriction beyond the general statewide texting law (none was found for permit/provisional drivers specifically). Re-verify periodically, as ITD handbook content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
