You’re driving in Louisiana when a police car with flashing lights approaches, and the officer directs you to pull over. How should you handle this traffic stop safely? The officer approaches you. You know what you did wrong, but how much trouble are you really in? Will you just get a traffic ticket and have to pay a fine? Or could you be facing more severe penalties for the offense you committed?
These and other issues related to traffic offenses and driving privileges are addressed by questions and answers on this free Louisiana Fines and Limits permit practice test. You’ll learn how to handle a traffic stop and what can happen if you can’t provide the officer proof of liability insurance. You’ll learn about driving violations that can result in license suspension, and a few non-driving-related offenses that can result in license suspension or even revocation.
Regarding more serious driving offenses, you’ll learn about the penalties for a first or second conviction of driving while intoxicated (DWI) for a driver at least 21 years old, the number of DWI convictions that will give a driver a felony record, and some of the consequences of having a felony record. You’ll also learn the difference between vehicular homicide and vehicular negligent injury, and the penalties for each of these offenses if convicted. (Some penalties are fines. Try to memorize those fines for your learner’s permit knowledge test.)
