Sample question from test 1
laws-paperwork
What subjects are covered by the basic Illinois written driver examination?
- Vehicle repairs, insurance pricing, and county registration procedures
- Only road signs and the names of Illinois highways
- Traffic signs, signals, pavement markings, traffic laws, safety, crash prevention, and equipment
- Parking fees, fuel economy, and commercial vehicle loading rules
Answer: Traffic signs, signals, pavement markings, traffic laws, safety, crash prevention, and equipment. The basic written examination covers visual controls and practical driving knowledge. You may need to identify signs, signals, and pavement markings, then answer questions about traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention, and vehicle equipment. The signs-only choice leaves out the rule and safety portions, while repair costs and registration procedures are not listed as exam subjects. A useful study cue is to review both what drivers see on the road and what they must do in response. Motorcycle, truck, and bus examinations have different requirements, so this description applies to the basic driver exam.
