Prepare for your learner’s instruction permit knowledge test AND stay safe and legal with our special free South Dakota Fines and Limits permit practice test. It’s up to date as of December 2024. This test isn’t about the rules of the road, but instead about the legal consequences of violating those rules, especially the possible loss of driving privileges. The practice test is up to date as of December 2024 and is based on South Dakota’s official driver’s manual (South Dakota DMV Handbook (SD Driver's Manual) 2024) and the South Dakota Codified Laws.

On this practice test, you’ll learn how many points are added to your driving record for such common violations as speeding, improper passing, reckless driving, running a red light or stop sign, and failing to yield the right-of-way. You’ll learn how many points result in license suspension and the length of that suspension. You’ll learn the penalties for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and when a conviction will leave you with a felony criminal record. You’ll learn about the jail sentence for leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run). You’ll also learn the amounts of the fines for texting while driving and driving without wearing a seat belt. (Penalties for some of these other offenses also include fines. Learn them all for your knowledge test.)

As with the other South Dakota practice tests we offer, each of the 50 questions and answers on this Fines and Limits permit test comes with an optional hint and a helpful explanation of the correct answer, courtesy of our automated assistant.

Our other South Dakota permit practice tests help you learn how to drive. This South Dakota Fines and Limits Permit Practice test will help you stay out of trouble long after you’ve earned your driver’s license.
