Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Utah Driver Handbook (REV 3.2026, dld.utah.gov) and the Utah Driver License Division's Driver Improvement Program point table — researched and verified 2026-08-19. Exam format is fully confirmed directly from the handbook: a unified 50-question closed-book knowledge test with no separate sign-recognition section (signCount: 0), requiring 80% (40/50 correct) to pass — both figures are directly confirmed, not estimated. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented, per handbook ambiguity: the exact rule for a left turn on red from a one-way street at a non-standard (non-SPUI) intersection; any work-zone speeding fine multiplier beyond the base fine structure; specific handicap/disabled parking permit distances and rules; any teen-specific cell phone restriction stricter than the universal texting law (research found none beyond the universal law); and an exhaustive list of Utah-specific sign deviations from the federal MUTCD standard (none were found, so signsExtra is intentionally omitted). Re-verify periodically, as DLD handbook content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
