Take a free, untimed Mississippi DMV practice test in the real exam format: 30 questions, 24 correct to pass. Fresh random questions every attempt.
The Mississippi knowledge test is a single 30-question exam covering road signs and the rules of the road together. You need 24 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: After a complete stop, yielding to traffic and pedestrians, unless a sign prohibits it
Right turn on red is allowed after a complete stop and yielding, unless posted signage says otherwise.
Signals
Answer: No — Mississippi does not use a numeric points/demerit system
Unlike many states, Mississippi (per §63-1-51 and the driver manual) does not track violations with a numeric points system.
License Actions
Answer: No closer than 10 feet
Stopping or standing within 10 feet of a fire hydrant is prohibited.
Parking Rules
Answer: A child passenger restraint device (car seat) meeting federal safety standards
Children under 4 must use a child passenger restraint device meeting federal safety standards.
Child Passenger Safety
Answer: Yes, pedestrians have the right-of-way at both
Pedestrians have the right-of-way at both marked and unmarked crosswalks.
Right-of-Way
Answer: A protected turn — oncoming traffic is held by a red light
A green arrow grants a protected turn; oncoming traffic faces a red light during that phase.
Signals
Answer: Habitual reckless or negligent driving, frequent serious violations, or an at-fault accident causing death or injury
Discretionary suspension is based on habitual reckless/negligent driving, a pattern of serious violations, or an at-fault death/injury accident.

Questions and exam format researched against Mississippi's official driver handbook and state sources. Last verified 20 August 2026.
Mississippi Driver's License Manual (revised 1/15/2025, MS Department of Public Safety, fetched directly from https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/sites/default/files/2025-02/1.15.2025%20Revised%20MDPS%20Driver's%20Manual.pdf, superseding the previously-cited Dec 2024 edition) and Mississippi Code Title 63 via codes.findlaw.com — §63-3-501 (speed limits), §63-3-1201/§63-3-1213 (reckless/careless driving), §63-2-1 (seat belts, incl. the §63-2-1(3) exemption list for farm-registered vehicles/implements of husbandry, buses, rural mail carriers/utility meter readers on duty, and medically-exempt drivers), §63-1-51 (no numeric points system; mandatory/discretionary suspension-revocation grounds), §63-33-1 (texting/handheld device law), §63-3-809 (Move Over law), §63-3-615 (school bus stop-arm law), §63-7-301 (child passenger restraints, incl. subsection (2)'s cross-reference to the §63-2-1(3) exemptions, subsection (3)'s 'not contributory/comparative negligence' civil-liability clause, and the 'every person transporting' responsibility language), §63-7-303 (confirmed to cover a separate, unrelated point — no new parent-child duty/liability beyond pre-1983 Mississippi law — and is NOT the source of the negligence clause), and §63-7-305 (enforcement authority) — cross-checked 2026-08-19, re-verified 2026-08-20. MOCK EXAM FORMAT — RENEWED ATTEMPT 2026-08-20: fetched the current manual PDF directly and extracted its full text with pdftotext (the file is a normal text PDF, not image/scan-based — a prior note claiming otherwise was incorrect and has been corrected here). 'THE EXAMINATION' section (manual p.16-17) describes the Computerized Exam as 'a multiple-choice question test' covering the manual's content, but nowhere states an exact question count or passing score/percentage. Also checked dps.ms.gov (404 on its driver-license page) and driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov's Driver License Manual/Learner's Permit pages directly — neither publishes a question count or passing percentage either. No unnamed 'third-party sources' are relied on: { ruleCount: 30, rulePassPct: 0.8 } is kept as a clearly-flagged, still-unconfirmed ESTIMATE, chosen for consistency with the unified-exam ratio used elsewhere in this app — re-verify against dps.ms.gov/driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov, or by phone at (601) 487-7028, if a future session needs a firmer number. Two batches of meta-questions (testing document/legal status rather than a real fact) were replaced with real, sourced facts this session: (1) r82/r83 previously claimed Mississippi has NO codified bicycle-passing distance — the current manual in fact instructs a specific 3-foot passing distance and a 'reasonable safety' standard before turning right in front of a passed cyclist, so both questions were corrected to state those real facts; and (2) r102-104, which tested whether the manual 'cited' AAP guidance versus a codified statute, were replaced with the §63-2-1(3) seat belt/restraint exemption list, the §63-7-301 'every person transporting the child' responsibility language, and the §63-7-301(3) civil-negligence clause. The July 1, 2027 mandatory certified driver's-education requirement (r59) is explicitly forward-dated and NOT YET ACTIVE as of this app's verification date. Deliberately excluded as unconfirmed, and NOT asserted anywhere in this module: a default unposted residential/business-district speed limit; any work-zone-specific speed reduction or fine-doubling rule; a left-turn-on-red-from-one-way-to-one-way rule; a specific headlight on/off-time-relative-to-sunset rule; specific handicap parking space dimensions or fine amounts; and a teen-specific passenger restriction or teen-specific cell-phone ban (both confirmed ABSENT in Mississippi law after cross-checking three ways — only the general, all-ages texting law applies). Re-verify periodically, as DPS manual content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
