It is up to date as of January 2025 and is based on West Virginia’s official driver’s manual (West Virginia DMV Handbook (WV Driver's Manual) 2025) and the West Virginia Code.
The 50 questions and answers on this practice test address issues like these: If you are arrested for driving under the influence but refuse a secondary chemical test for alcohol at the police station, how long will your license be revoked? What fines, loss of license, and other penalties are imposed on a 21-year-old driver who is convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) for the first time or a subsequent time? How about for a driver under 21 years of age? (Try to memorize these fines for your instruction permit test.) Can you be charged with DUI even if your blood alcohol concentration is below the legal limit? How many points are added to your driving record for such common violations as tailgating and failing to yield the right-of-way? Finally, what are the minimum required coverages for vehicle liability insurance, and what are the penalties for driving an uninsured vehicle on public roads?
Violating the traffic laws doesn’t just incur administrative or legal penalties. It also puts you at increased risk for an accident.
