Delaware intersections have a way of making even simple driving rules feel suddenly less simple. A four-way stop in Dover, a busy turn lane near Wilmington, a rural crossroads where everyone seems a little too polite, or not polite enough, these are the moments where not knowing how right-of-way works will cause problems. This Delaware DMV practice test focuses on those intersection situations, with 20 multiple-choice questions built around four-way stops, yielding, traffic signals, pavement markings, and the kind of decision-making Delaware drivers actually need on the road. It is not the official Delaware Class D knowledge test, and that distinction matters. The real Delaware permit knowledge test has 32 questions, and you need 26 correct answers to pass, which means you can miss up to 6. The official exam is based on the Delaware Driver Manual and covers traffic laws, rules of the road, road signs, signals, safe driving practices, motor vehicle laws, and highway sign recognition. This Delaware DMV practice test gives you a more targeted way to study one of the areas where new drivers often get tripped up: intersections, especially when signs, signals, other vehicles, and timing all come together at once. The format is simple on purpose. You answer a question, get instant feedback, and read a clear explanation so you know why the correct answer makes sense. That matters more than just memorizing a letter choice, because the DMV test is checking whether you understand how Delaware road rules work, not whether you can guess well for ten minutes. The practice test is untimed too, so you can slow down, reread the scenario, and actually think through who goes first, who waits, and what a safe driver is expected to do. For teen drivers in Delaware’s Graduated Driver License program, this can be a useful supplement alongside the required certified driver education course. Adult applicants can use it too to get that all-important permit. After passing the vision screening and knowledge test, applicants will receive a learner’s permit. Keep in mind that you must wait at least 10 days before taking the road skills exam. Use this Delaware drivers ed practice test as extra preparation, not a replacement for studying the official manual. It is especially helpful if you want more confidence with the small judgment calls that can turn an ordinary intersection into a dangerous puzzle.

Sample Delaware Permit Test Questions

Question 1

Under Delaware law, a school bus stops with its red lamps flashing on a roadway with four or more lanes. What must a driver approaching from the opposite direction do?

If a school bus stops to unload children on a divided highway with a dividing barrier, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction are:
  1. A Stop until the bus begins moving or turns off its red lamps
  2. B Stop, then proceed slowly past the bus
  3. C Pull onto the shoulder and wait
  4. D The driver is not required to stop

Correct answer: D – The driver is not required to stop

On a roadway with four or more lanes, a driver approaching a stopped school bus from the front, or opposite direction, is not required to stop. Drivers approaching from the rear must stop, and the opposite-direction exception does not apply on roads with fewer than four lanes. A first violation carries a $115–$230 fine, 30–60 days’ imprisonment, or both, plus a license suspension of one month to one year.

Question 2

What is the safety purpose of properly adjusting a vehicle’s head restraint?

  1. A To make long drives feel less tiring
  2. B To help prevent whiplash in a rear-end collision
  3. C To provide a place to rest your head while driving
  4. D To improve the driver’s view through the rear window

Correct answer: B – To help prevent whiplash in a rear-end collision

A head restraint is designed to help prevent whiplash when a vehicle is hit from behind. Adjust it so the restraint is positioned directly behind and can contact the back of the occupant’s head. A poorly positioned restraint provides less support during the rapid head movement caused by a rear impact.

Question 3

A five-sided yellow or fluorescent yellow-green sign showing two people indicates:

This road sign means:
  1. A A stop sign is ahead
  2. B A school area or school crossing is ahead
  3. C A shopping district is ahead
  4. D Pedestrians are prohibited from entering the roadway

Correct answer: B – A school area or school crossing is ahead

The Delaware manual identifies a five-sided sign with a black symbol on yellow or fluorescent yellow-green as a school or school-crossing warning. Reduce speed, watch carefully for children, and be prepared to stop when necessary. Other warning signs generally use a diamond rather than a pentagon shape.

Question 4

When should front wheels be turned toward the curb while parking?

Turn your front wheels toward the curb when you are parked:
  1. A When facing uphill beside a curb
  2. B Whenever parked on a level road
  3. C When facing downhill beside a curb
  4. D Whenever parked near a fire hydrant

Correct answer: C – When facing downhill beside a curb

When parking downhill, turn the front wheels toward the curb or roadway edge. When parking uphill beside a curb, turn the wheels away from the curb and allow the near-side wheel to contact it. These wheel positions help direct a moving vehicle away from the traveled roadway.

Question 5

Your Delaware driving privilege is currently revoked, and you have no restricted driving authority. What may you do?

  1. A Drive only during an emergency
  2. B Drive directly to work or school
  3. C Not drive on the highways during the revocation period
  4. D Drive while accompanied by a licensed adult

Correct answer: C – Not drive on the highways during the revocation period

Driving on a highway while a license or driving privilege is revoked is prohibited. A first offense is punishable by a $500–$1,000 fine and 30 days to six months in prison. A subsequent offense within three years carries a $1,000–$4,000 fine and 60 days to one year in prison. Additional minimums apply to certain DUI-, injury-, or death-related revocations.

Question 6

Which statement correctly describes Delaware’s double-parking rule?

  1. A Double parking is allowed if the driver remains in the vehicle
  2. B Double parking is allowed while making a delivery
  3. C Stopping, standing, or parking beside a curbside vehicle is generally prohibited
  4. D A disability parking placard permits double parking

Correct answer: C – Stopping, standing, or parking beside a curbside vehicle is generally prohibited

A driver generally may not stop, stand, or park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped or parked at the curb. The rule includes limited general exceptions, such as avoiding a traffic conflict or complying with law, police directions, or a traffic-control device. Merely remaining in the vehicle does not change the activity from prohibited standing or stopping.
