To get your Alabama driver’s license, you must pass three official tests: a vision exam, a written knowledge test, and a road skills test. If you’re under 18 (and not married or head of household), you must first earn an instruction permit. The vision and knowledge tests are also required for the permit. If you’re 18 or older, an instruction permit is optional – useful for supervised driving practice.

The Alabama DMV written test has 30 questions covering Alabama traffic laws, road signs, and rules of safe driving. To pass, you need at least 24 correct (80%). All questions are based on the official driver’s manual (Alabama DMV Handbook (AL Driver’s Manual) 2026). In 2020-2023, about 49.1% of applicants failed the test on their first attempt – reading the manual alone often isn’t enough.

This is the second of our six Alabama Permit Practice Tests, current for May 2026 and based on the official driver’s manual. Choose the best or most complete answer for each question.

Our AI Assistant can give hints and explanations to speed up your learning. We also offer an Alabama DMV Permit Test Study Guide with document checklists, fees, and frequently missed questions.

How to use Alabama Test 2

Treat this as a second read, not a repeat of the first practice test.

1

Start with Sharing the Road

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for AL rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

3

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that sharing the road plus vehicle equipment no longer pull your score down.
