Verified 2026-08-19. Two notable confirmed-absent findings drove content decisions: (1) Montana has no general statewide texting-while-driving or handheld-phone ban for the general driving public, confirmed by exhaustively checking the relevant MCA chapter — one of the few states without such a law, and no phone/texting rule is asserted anywhere in this module, including the teen category. (2) Montana does not use a numeric point/demerit system at all, confirmed by reviewing the full section list of the relevant MCA suspension/revocation chapter — the 'points' category (labeled 'License Actions' in this module) is modeled entirely around MCA 61-5-205's conviction-triggered mandatory suspension/revocation scheme instead of inventing a point table. Mock exam config (ruleCount: 33, rulePassPct: 0.82, unified format with signCount: 0) is an UNCONFIRMED ESTIMATE from a single third-party source — Montana does not publish an official knowledge-test question count or passing percentage; confidence is LOW-MEDIUM and this figure should be re-verified against an official Montana MVD source before being treated as authoritative. Deliberately excluded/not invented: specific work-zone speeding fine amounts beyond the existence of MCA 61-8-314, DUI license-suspension duration (MCA 61-5-205 confirms DUI as a suspension trigger but the research did not establish a specific duration), parallel-parking technique/distance requirements (not found in statute), and the specific windshield-wiper statute subsection (presented only as a general equipment requirement). EXAM FORMAT RE-CHECKED 2026-08-22, RESULT NEGATIVE: an independent pass over the current and 2021 Montana Driver Manuals, mvdmt.gov's new-driver/adult/under-18 pages, dojmt.gov, and the Administrative Rules of Montana (subchapter 23.3, which contains a road-test scoring rule but nothing for the written test) found NO official question count and NO official passing score anywhere. Montana MVD does not publish either. ruleCount 33 is therefore an UNVERIFIED ESTIMATE with no official backing whatsoever — treat it as a placeholder, not a fact. Separately, rulePassPct was corrected from 0.82 to the exact fraction 27/33 this same day: ceil(33 x 0.82) = 28, so the app had been demanding 28 correct while this note claimed 27, failing anyone who scored exactly 27. Re-verify periodically, as MCA sections, fees, and thresholds change over time.RE-VERIFIED 2026-08-20 (Wave 2 Batch 4): both dojmt.gov and the newer mvdmt.gov domain (which has taken over driver-services content, including hosting the identical 25-0100M May 2026 Driver Manual PDF already cited here) returned 403 again this session for every URL attempted, including the manual PDF itself and the driver-license landing pages — direct official confirmation of the 33Q/82% mock exam figures remains impossible this session. However, confidence is upgraded from the prior "single third-party source" note to "5+ independently-operated test-prep sites (driving-tests.org, dmv-permit-test.com, zutobi.com, dmv-written-test.com, testpracticedmv.com, nextdoordriving.com) all convergently and specifically citing 33 questions / 27-correct-to-pass (82%)," which is stronger corroboration than a single source, though still not an official MVD document — ruleCount:33/rulePassPct:0.82 remain a flagged estimate, not confirmed fact. Full rules array re-scanned this session for meta-question phrasing (questions asking whether something is "explicit"/"documented"/"confirmed" in the manual, or why the manual emphasizes a topic, rather than a real driving fact) — none found; the array's content questions throughout (including the genuinely-absent-law findings on texting/points systems) test real MCA-sourced facts, not the manual's own wording or coverage choices, so no rule content changed this session.
