Our other Arkansas permit practice tests evaluate your understanding of the traffic laws. However, this free Arkansas Fines and Limits permit practice test will evaluate how much you know about the legal consequences of violating the traffic laws. The test is based on the official Arkansas driver’s manual (Arkansas DMV Handbook (AR Driver's Manual) 2024) and the Arkansas Code. Like the other Arkansas practice tests we offer, this practice test comes with our automated assistant. If you get stuck on a question, the assistant can give you a hint or an explanation of the correct answer.
This Fines and Limits permit practice test has 50 multiple-choice questions. Learn what the penalties are for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and for Underage Driving under the Influence (Underage DUI). What fine will you have to pay if you’re found guilty of driving without wearing a seat belt or passing a stopped school bus with flashing red lights? (Try to memorize these and other fines for your instruction permit knowledge exam.) What are the penalties for littering from your vehicle, violating Arkansas’s Move Over law, or using someone else’s disabled parking certificate? What is an example of a driving offense that is treated as a Class C felony even if it’s a first offense? Finally, what is an example of a non-driving-related offense that can cause you to lose your license?
The consequences of violating the traffic laws aren’t limited to legal penalties. Disregarding the rules can lead to accidents – possibly fatal accidents. In the United States, about 37 people die in alcohol-related crashes every day: about one fatality every 39 minutes. About one-third of all traffic deaths involve alcohol consumption. In 2022, 13,524 people died in traffic crashes in which alcohol was a contributing factor. That same year, there were also 12,151 speeding-related deaths nationwide. Speeding was a contributing factor in 29 percent of traffic fatalities.
In Arkansas in 2022, 916 drivers were involved in fatal crashes resulting in 643 total fatalities. These fatalities included 79 pedestrians, 93 motorcyclists, and 6 cyclists. 153 of the total fatalities involved alcohol intoxication (blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher), and 143 of the total fatalities were speeding related. Of the 351 vehicle occupant fatalities for which restraint use was determined and reported, 188 occupants were unrestrained and 163 occupants were restrained.
Knowing the possible consequences of traffic offenses will help you pass your permit knowledge test. Knowing what can go seriously wrong behind the wheel can also help make you a safer driver.
Good luck with your knowledge test, and please drive safely!
