North Carolina DMV Fines and Limits Permit Practice Test 2025
- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official North Carolina Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for January 2025
You’re studying hard to pass the knowledge test for a North Carolina learner permit. After that, you’ll practice driving to pass the driving test for a driver license. After all that time and effort, it would be a crying shame to do something dumb and lose your license! This free North Carolina Fines and Limits permit practice test may help prevent that as well as help you pass your knowledge test.
This special 50-question practice test is about the consequences of violating North Carolina’s traffic laws. It’s up to date as of January 2025. It’s based on North Carolina’s official driver’s manual (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2025) and the North Carolina General Statutes. And like the other North Carolina permit practice tests we offer, the Fines and Limits permit practice test comes with our automated assistant, which can supply you with hints and explanations of the correct answers.
On this practice test, you’ll learn about the number of points that can be added to your driving record for such common offenses as littering, speeding, tailgating, running a stop sign, failing to yield the right-of-way, and passing a stopped school bus with flashing red lights; the consequences of accumulating excessive points on your driving record; and how points can be removed from your driving record. You’ll also learn what may happen to your driver license if you’re convicted of a more serious offense: How long will your license be suspended if you leave the scene of an accident (hit and run)? How many convictions for driving while impaired (DWI) will result in a mandatory jail sentence or a felony criminal record?
In North Carolina in 2022, there were 273,132 total traffic crashes, including 1,647 fatal crashes with 1,784 fatalities. 11,850 (4.3%) of the total crashes and 448 (25.1%) of the fatalities involved alcohol consumption. 16,713 (6.1%) of the total crashes and 426 (23.9%) of the fatalities involved exceeding the speed limit or the safe speed for the conditions.
For the total crashes, the most frequent contributing circumstances were failure to reduce speed (65,939), driver inattention (44,440), failure to yield the right of way (42,184), improper lane change (15,566), and exceeding the safe speed for the conditions (12,504). For the fatal crashes, the most frequent contributing circumstances were erratic, reckless, careless, negligent, or aggressive driving (375); crossed centerline/going wrong way (325); alcohol use (293); exceeding the speed limit (285); and failure to yield the right of way (156).
If you violate North Carolina’s traffic laws, many bad things can happen. Learn what can happen so you can pass the official knowledge test and stay out of trouble whenever you’re on the road.

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
