Welcome to our free Minnesota Fines and Limits permit practice test! This unique test focuses on the legal consequences of traffic offenses. Learn about some driving-related offenses that may result in the suspension of your license if you’re convicted, other driving-related offenses that may result in license revocation, and some non-driving-related offenses that may result in license suspension. Learn the penalties for driving while impaired (DWI) for a first, second, and third offense, how the minimum license revocation period can depend on whether you plead guilty or not guilty in court, and how many DWI convictions will leave you with a felony criminal record. Learn how you can regain your driving privileges after your license has been revoked. Also learn the fine for a conviction for fleeing a police officer or violating the Ted Foss Move Over law. (Some of these other penalties also include fines. Try to memorize all these fines for your instruction permit knowledge exam.)
This practice test is based on Minnesota’s official driver’s manual (Minnesota DMV Handbook (MN Driver's Manual) 2024) and the Minnesota Statutes. It consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and is up to date as of December 2024. Like our other Minnesota practice tests, the Minnesota Fines and Limits practice test comes with an optional hint for each question. Additionally, a simple explanation of each correct answer is included to help reinforce your new knowledge.

You should know the fines and other penalties for your instruction permit knowledge test. The purpose of the traffic laws and the penalties for violating them is to deter unsafe driving. Unsafe driving risks a serious – perhaps fatal – crash. Keeping the possible consequences of unsafe driving in mind can help you drive safely on Minnesota’s roadways!
