New Mexico MVD Fines and Limits Permit Practice Test 2024
We’re glad you’ve come here to take our free New Mexico Fines and Limits permit practice test! We hope this unique test may do even more than help you answer some of the toughest questions that may be on your New Mexico instructional permit test. It may also help make you a safer driver by showing you the possible consequences of violating New Mexico’s traffic laws.
This practice test is up to date as of December 2024. It’s based on New Mexico’s official driver’s manual (New Mexico MVD Handbook (NM Driver's Manual) 2024) and the New Mexico Statutes.
The 50 questions and answers on this test address such issues as some offenses that may cause you to lose your driving privileges (and one that won’t); the percentage of fatal crashes in which alcohol consumption played a part; how long a conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) will remain on your driving record; the penalties for a first conviction for DWI; the length of a license suspension for refusing a chemical test for alcohol or drugs for the first time; the points added to your driving record for such common offenses as speeding, tailgating, running a red light, failing to yield the right-of-way, and failing to signal before a turn; how long your license will be suspended should you accumulate excessive points; and the length of your jail sentence for driving while your license is suspended or revoked.
Like the other permit practice tests we offer, the free New Mexico Fines and Limits practice test comes with an automated assistant to help you answer the questions correctly. It can give you a hint if you’re stuck on a question or an explanation of the correct answer if you still miss the question.
In New Mexico, there were 40,884 total traffic crashes in 2022, of which 419 were fatal crashes involving 466 fatalities. 7,192 of the total crashes were hit and run, of which 36 were fatal hit-and-run crashes. 2,233 of the total crashes and 160 of the fatal crashes were alcohol related. 76 of the fatal crashes, with 85 fatalities, involved the use of drugs.
