Have you been studying the rules of the road and Idaho’s traffic laws to pass the official knowledge test for an instruction permit? Good! Have you taken some of our other practice tests to help reinforce what you’ve learned? Great! But this practice test, which you’re about to take, is different.
This free Idaho Fines and Limits permit practice test is mainly about the official penalties you may face if you violate the rules of the road or other traffic laws. Some of these practice questions are tough; numerical answers must be memorized. These questions also illustrate how violating the traffic laws can have serious consequences.
This practice test is up to date as of January 2025. The 50 questions on this practice test are based on Idaho’s official driver’s manual (Idaho DMV Handbook (ID Driver's Manual) 2025) and the Idaho Code.
Here are some issues addressed by the questions and answers on this practice test: What are the penalties for accumulating excessive points on your driving record, and what constitutes “excessive”? Is there any way to remove points from your driving record? What are some offenses for which conviction can result in license suspension or revocation? What are some non-driving-related offenses that may result in license suspension? What are the penalties for a first, second, or third conviction for driving under the influence (DUI)? (Is there a mandatory jail sentence? Is installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) mandatory?)
As with all the permit practice tests we offer, the Idaho Fines and Limits permit practice test comes with our automated assistant. It can give you a hint to help you answer a hard question or an explanation of the correct answer if you still miss the question.
In Idaho in 2023, there were 27,679 total traffic crashes, including 242 fatal crashes involving 275 total fatalities. These fatalities included 39 motorcyclists, 31 pedestrians, and 8 bicyclists.
105 (38.1%) of the total fatalities resulted from alcohol or drug impairment. Of these 105 fatalities, 90 were either the impaired driver, a passenger of the impaired driver, or an impaired pedestrian. 103 (37.4%) of the fatalities occurred in crashes involving aggressive driving. 48 (17.4%) of the fatalities occurred in crashes involving distracted driving.
The three most common contributing factors in single-vehicle crashes were speed (21%), animals in roadway (18%), and failed to maintain lane (16%).

Violating the traffic laws doesn’t just invite legal penalties. It also risks a serious accident.
Good luck with your instruction permit test, and please drive safely!
