Take a free, untimed Ohio DMV practice test in the real exam format: 40 questions, 30 correct to pass. Fresh random questions every attempt.
The Ohio knowledge test is a single 40-question exam covering road signs and the rules of the road together. You need 30 correct (75%) to pass.
Answer: You must yield to traffic already on the through highway
A driver entering a through highway from a smaller road must yield to traffic already on the through highway.
Right-of-Way
Answer: Stop, then proceed when safe, just like a stop sign
Ohio treats a flashing red signal exactly like a stop sign — stop, then go when it's safe.
Signals
Answer: 6 points
An adult OVI conviction adds 6 points, the maximum single-violation point value in Ohio.
BMV Points
Answer: Within 12 inches
Ohio requires parking within 12 inches of the curb, parallel and facing the direction of traffic.
Parking Rules
Answer: Until age 4 OR 40 lbs, whichever comes LATER
Ohio requires a child restraint until the child turns 4 OR reaches 40 lbs, whichever comes later — both conditions must be met.
Child Passenger Safety
Answer: The vehicle approaching from the right
At an uncontrolled intersection of similar roads with no control device, you must yield to a vehicle approaching from the right.
Right-of-Way
Answer: Proceed with caution, yielding to pedestrians and vehicles, with no full stop required
A flashing yellow signal means proceed with caution, yielding to pedestrians and vehicles already present — no full stop is required.
Signals
Answer: 6 points
Street racing, stunt driving, and street takeover convictions carry the maximum 6 points.

Questions and exam format researched against Ohio's official driver handbook and state sources. Last verified 18 August 2026.
Ohio Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws (ODPS), the Ohio Revised Code (codes.ohio.gov, live/current text — used as authoritative over the digest wherever they conflicted, e.g. seat belt fines and some speed brackets), and official bmv.ohio.gov GDL/points pages — researched and verified 2026-08-18. Key statutory cites: ORC 4511.20 (reckless operation), 4511.27 (bicycle passing distance), 4511.75 (school bus stop law), 4511.213 (Move Over), 4513.03 (headlights), 4511.13/4511.132 (signals), 4511.19/4511.191 (BAC/administrative suspension), 4510.02 (suspension classes), 4510.036 (points), 4509.51 (insurance minimums), 4511.81 (child restraints), 4511.204 (handheld device law). Exam format (40 questions, unified pool, 75%/30-correct to pass) is officially confirmed on bmv.ohio.gov — no separate sign-recognition gate, so signCount is 0. Two recent law changes are reflected with their exact effective dates: seat belt fines of $30 operator/$20 front-seat passenger effective April 9, 2025 (HB 37, superseding older figures), and the hands-free handheld-device law effective June 30, 2025 (HB 54, with escalating $150/$250/$500 fines). Known gaps deliberately NOT invented, per the research pass: hill/grade parking wheel-turning direction (not found in ORC 4511.66, which covers parking outside districts, not grade direction); statewide curb-color conventions (likely municipal-ordinance-dependent); exact truck/bus no-zone footage (described only qualitatively); a dedicated roundabout right-of-way statute (content here reflects the general yield-controlled-entry inference, not a cited statute); a numeric following-distance rule for a moving emergency vehicle; a statewide distracted-driving crash statistic; the exact work-zone speeding fine multiplier (only Move Over's confirmed 2x is used); and red/turn-arrow and lane-control signal specifics (likely governed by the Ohio MUTCD, not reached in this research pass — signals content here is limited to what the digest/ORC directly confirmed). Re-verify periodically, as BMV/ODPS content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
