Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Official Indiana Driver's Manual (in.gov/BMV, per-chapter PDFs) — content researched and verified August 18, 2026. Indiana's knowledge exam is officially confirmed as a split format (a separate signs component and a separate traffic-rules/maneuvers component), and as of a 2026-08-20 re-verification pass, the 80%-per-component passing threshold is now CONFIRMED directly from the live official page (in.gov/bmv/licenses-permits-ids/learners-permits-and-drivers-licenses-overview/learners-permit/knowledge-exam), which states verbatim: "Eighty percent or higher correct responses on each component must be achieved to pass the exam." That same page also confirms passing results are valid for 180 days, a same-business-day retest wait after failing the knowledge exam, and a 7-day wait (2 months after 3 failures on a permit) for the driving skills exam. The exact QUESTION COUNT for each component is still not published anywhere official (the exam is computer-based, likely drawn from a rotating bank), so signCount:10 and ruleCount:35 remain proportional ESTIMATES only — but signPassCount:8/10 and rulePassPct:0.8 now match the officially confirmed 80% threshold exactly. Revisit if BMV publishes exact question-count figures. CONTENT AUDIT 2026-08-20: r111 (childsafety) was rewritten — the prior version tested whether Indiana's statute spells out a detailed age/weight restraint-stage breakdown 'like some states do' (a fact about the statute's own level of detail relative to other states, not a real driving/child-safety fact); it now tests the FMVSS 213 federal certification requirement that every compliant child restraint must meet, keeping the same id so existing users' progress on that card is preserved. Other known gaps in publicly available source material (not invented, deliberately omitted from content above): no numeric mph threshold for reckless driving; no dollar fines found for work-zone speeding, seat belt, handheld-device, or child-restraint violations; Indiana's child-restraint law is stated only as a blanket under-8 rule with no official rear-facing/forward-facing/booster age-weight breakdown; no curb-color legend beyond yellow; no specific parking distances from railroad crossings or fire stations; no numeric following-distance rule for trailing an emergency vehicle. Re-verify periodically, as BMV manuals, fees, and thresholds change over time.
