Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Minnesota Driver's Manual (Minnesota DVS / Department of Public Safety, June 2026 edition, drive.mn.gov — the current live manual, dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs is the parent DVS division page since the old dvs.dps.mn.gov address now redirects there), and Minnesota Statutes including 169A.33 ('Not a Drop' underage alcohol law), 169.475 (Hands-Free Law), 169A.20/.51/.54 (DWI BAC and revocation provisions), and 171.055/.16/.17 (suspension/revocation authority) — researched and verified 2026-08-19, re-verified 2026-08-20 against the full text of the current June 2026 manual specifically to tighten the exam-format estimate. Exam format: the June 2026 manual states verbatim "You may take only one written test per day and must score 80 percent to pass" — CONFIRMED (rulePassPct: 0.8) directly from the current manual text, not a secondary source. The manual's "The written test" section was read in full this session and, like last session's finding, genuinely does not publish an official total question count anywhere in the document. This module continues to use ruleCount: 40 as a documented ESTIMATE, sized consistently with similarly-populated neighboring/comparable states already in this app (e.g. Illinois, Ohio) rather than an invented figure — unified format with no separate sign-recognition section (signCount: 0), since Minnesota's real exam does not gate signs separately. Genuine state-specific deviation: Minnesota does NOT use a numeric point/demerit system for driving violations — the 'points' category here (labeled 'License Actions') instead models the real conviction-based suspension and revocation triggers (repeated violations, DWI, 100+ mph, fleeing police, hit-and-run, 3 jailable violations in a year, etc.), and no point values are invented anywhere in this file. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented: exact dollar fines for seatbelt/phone violations beyond the school-bus-passing minimum; the precise forward-facing car-seat weight/height limit (approximated as a 40-60 lb manufacturer-dependent range per the manual's own framing); liability insurance minimums; and any per-violation fine schedule beyond what's cited above. Re-verify periodically, as DVS manual content and statutory thresholds change over time.
