Take a free, untimed New Hampshire DMV practice test in the real exam format: 40 questions, 32 correct to pass. Fresh random questions every attempt.
The New Hampshire knowledge test is a single 40-question exam covering road signs and the rules of the road together. You need 32 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 coming to a full stop, unless a sign prohibits it at that intersection, yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic
Right turn on red is permitted after a full stop, unless a sign prohibits it at that specific intersection, and only after yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic.
Signals
Answer: No registration on your person, a failed inspection, or failing to obtain an NH license
1-point violations include no registration on person, a failed inspection, and failing to obtain an NH license.
Demerit Points
Answer: No closer than 15 feet
Parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant is prohibited, except for momentary passenger discharge.
Parking Rules
Answer: Age 2
Children under age 2 must ride in a rear-facing child restraint.
Child Passenger Safety
Answer: The vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right
When vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on its right.
Right-of-Way
Answer: No — New Hampshire law contains no provision authorizing any left turn on red, including this exception
Unlike many states, New Hampshire's signal statute has no provision authorizing left-turn-on-red at all — not even the common one-way-onto-one-way exception.
Signals
Answer: An unregistered vehicle, a license-display failure, or littering
2-point violations include an unregistered vehicle, a license-display failure, improper license class, no parking lights, and littering.

Questions and exam format researched against New Hampshire's official driver handbook and state sources. Last verified 20 August 2026.
New Hampshire RSA statutes fetched directly and official NH DMV pages, researched and verified 2026-08-19: RSA 265:60 (basic speed rule and district defaults, including the I-93 mile-marker-45-to-VT-border 70mph exception), RSA 265:79 (reckless driving), RSA 265:10 (right/left turn on red — NH has no left-on-red provision, including no one-way-to-one-way exception), RSA 265:107-a (seatbelt law — no general adult requirement, only under-18; child restraint tiers), RSA 265-A:2 (DUI BAC limits and impairment standard, covering vehicles/OHRVs/boats), RSA 265:79-c (current hands-free phone law, effective July 1, 2015; the older texting-specific RSA 265:105-a was repealed effective January 1, 2023), RSA 265:37-a (Move Over law), RSA 266:31 (headlight requirements — time window and weather trigger only; deliberately excluded the "wipers-on-means-headlights-on" framing since that is pending/proposed legislation (HB 1167/HB 419), not current statute text), RSA 265:69 (parking/standing/stopping distances), RSA 265:143-a (graduated bicycle-passing distance formula), RSA 265:54 (school bus stop-arm law and penalties), RSA 265:23 (rotary/one-way roadway right-of-way, referenced as NH flavor given the state's high rotary density), RSA 263:25 (practice-driving authorization in lieu of a physical learner's permit), and the official NH DMV Demerit Points page (Saf-C 212) for the full point table and age-tiered suspension thresholds. Exam format: the official NH DMV testing-requirements page confirms an 80% passing score; the 40-question count is corroborated by 5+ independent test-prep sources plus a Google-indexed snippet of the official manual PDF, but the manual PDF itself could not be opened directly this session, so the 40-question figure is treated as high-confidence but not directly manual-verified (unified knowledge test, signCount: 0, no separate sign-recognition gate). Deliberately excluded as unconfirmed: specific flashing-signal statute details (RSA 265:12 text not retrieved), the "wipers-on-means-headlights-on" rule as current law (it is pending legislation only), handicap/parallel-parking numeric distance rules, and the license/test fee amount. Re-verify periodically, as RSA sections, DMV thresholds, and fees change over time. RE-VERIFIED 2026-08-20 (Wave 2 Batch 4): dmv.nh.gov (driver-licensing-testing-requirements page and the nhdm.pdf manual) returned 403 again this session, same as before — direct official confirmation of the 40-question count is still not possible. However, a Google-indexed search snippet of the official nh.gov/safety/divisions/dmv testing page this session independently states "All knowledge exams require a passing grade of 80%," which upgrades the 80% pass threshold from test-prep-site corroboration to an indexed snippet of the state's own testing page; the 40-question count itself remains sourced only from third-party test-prep aggregators (epermittest.com, zutobi.com, driving-tests.org, dmv-permit-test.com — all independently agreeing on 40Q/32-to-pass), not a directly-fetched official document, so it is still treated as high-confidence but not manual-verified, exactly as the prior research pass flagged it. Full rules array re-scanned this session for meta-question phrasing (asks about the manual/document's own wording or emphasis rather than a real driving fact, e.g. "is this explicit in the manual") — none found. The one "explicit" occurrence in the array (r29's wrong-answer choice "holding a phone to your ear is explicitly legal") is a distractor about the underlying law's content, not a meta-question about a document, so no change was needed there.
