Michigan DOS Fines and Limits Permit Practice Test 2025

You’re studying to pass your Michigan knowledge test for a learner’s license or temporary instruction permit. With this credential, you’ll practice driving until you pass a driving skills test for a driver’s license (or an intermediate license first if you’re under 18). After all that effort, how would you feel if you lost your driving privileges because of one dumb mistake? This free Michigan Fines and Limits permit practice test will help prevent that as well as help you pass your knowledge test.

This unique 50-question practice test is about the consequences of violating Michigan’s traffic laws or other laws that may affect your driving privileges. It’s up to date as of November 2025. It’s based on Michigan’s official driver’s manual (Michigan DMV Handbook (MI Driver's Manual) 2025). And like the other Michigan permit practice tests we offer, each question on this Fines and Limits permit practice test comes with an optional hint and an explanation of the correct answer, courtesy of our automated assistant.

On this practice test, you’ll learn how many points are added to your driving record for such common moving violations as running a stop sign, speeding at various speeds, failing to stop at a railroad crossing, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle, and failing to stop for a stopped school bus. Regarding more serious offenses, you’ll learn how many points are added to your driving record for reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run), vehicular manslaughter, fleeing the police, refusing to submit to chemical testing for blood alcohol, and driving while intoxicated by alcohol. You’ll learn about the consequences of excess point accumulation, and how long points remain on your driving record. You’ll learn the fines (which you should memorize) for a first or second offense of texting while driving. Finally, you’ll learn about a couple of non-driving-related offenses that can lead to suspension of your license.
