In the United States, about 37 people die in alcohol-related crashes every day, which works out to one fatality every 39 minutes. About 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve alcohol-impaired drivers. In 2022, 13,524 people died in traffic crashes in which alcohol impairment 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.
Pennsylvania currently has an average of 355 traffic crashes per day, including three traffic fatalities per day. Speeding, reckless driving, and running red lights are frequently cited as contributing factors.
In Pennsylvania in 2020, 7.26 percent of Pennsylvania’s drivers had at least one speeding ticket on their driving record. In 2022, there were 1,179 traffic fatalities in the state. Speeding was a factor in 39 percent of those deaths. Alcohol impairment was a factor in 29 percent of them.
Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 16- to 24-year-old drivers, and many of those fatal crashes are alcohol related. Thirty percent of drivers ages 16 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking alcohol.
You should know the fines and other penalties for the learner’s permit knowledge test. But these penalties also serve as a reminder to you, a new driver, of the potentially serious consequences of violating the traffic laws. There’s no better way to ensure that you stay out of trouble on Pennsylvania’s roadways!

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.
