Virginia DMV practice test

These 20 free questions are written from the Virginia Driver's Manual, in the multiple-choice style of the DMV's knowledge exam. Four are sign questions, and like part one of the real exam you need every one of them. Overall you need 80%, so 16 right is a pass. Pick an answer to see why it's right. Anything you miss comes back at the end.
