North Dakota Noncommercial Driver License Manual (Revised 2025, dot.nd.gov) and the North Dakota Century Code (NDCC 39-08-03 reckless driving; NDCC 39-10-46 school bus stop-arm law) — researched and verified 2026-08-19. Exam format: no official question count or passing percentage is published anywhere in the manual, and no dedicated separate sign-recognition section was found (unlike VA's split format), so this module uses a unified knowledge test (signCount: 0) with an ESTIMATED ruleCount: 35 and rulePassPct: 0.8, structurally inferred rather than sourced from an official ND DOT figure — treat these two numbers as a placeholder pending an authoritative source, not a confirmed fact. Known discrepancy deliberately NOT resolved either way: a secondary webpage claimed a '6 or more points cancels an under-18 driver's license' rule that directly conflicts with the manual's own Point System section (which states only the general 12-point rule for all drivers); this module omits that claim entirely rather than asserting either version. Other gaps deliberately excluded rather than invented: the exact terms of North Dakota's teen passenger restriction (confirmed to exist as a violation category, but exact allowed-passenger terms weren't found in the manual); any teen-specific cell-phone restriction beyond the general texting ban (none found); the specific NDCC citation for the 0.02% under-21 zero-tolerance BAC figure (manual-sourced from administrative-penalty language, not independently cross-checked against a statute number this session); and a 'wipers-on-means-headlights-on' rule (no such statute was found — do not assume ND follows the wipers-trigger convention used by some other states). Re-verify periodically, as DMV/DOT handbook content, fees, and point thresholds change over time.
