Pennsylvania DOT Fines and Limits Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

Welcome to our free Pennsylvania Fines and Limits permit practice test! This unique test focuses on the consequences of traffic offenses. Learn how many points are carried by various traffic violations and how many points you can accumulate before your license is suspended. Learn what kinds of fines and other penalties you may face for certain traffic offenses. Also learn about some of the consequences of underage drinking.

This practice test is based on Pennsylvania’s official driver’s manual (Pennsylvania DOT Handbook (PA Driver's Manual) 2025) and the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. It has 50 multiple-choice questions and is up to date as of November 2025. Like our other Pennsylvania practice tests, the Pennsylvania Fines and Limits practice test comes with an optional hint for each question. Additionally, a simple explanation of each correct answer is included to help reinforce your new knowledge.

In the United States, about 37 people die in alcohol-related crashes every day, which works out to one fatality every 39 minutes. About 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve alcohol-impaired drivers. In 2022, 13,524 people died in traffic crashes in which alcohol impairment was a contributing factor. That same year, there were also 12,151 speeding-related deaths nationwide. Speeding was a contributing factor in 29 percent of traffic fatalities.

Pennsylvania currently has an average of 355 traffic crashes per day, including three traffic fatalities per day. Speeding, reckless driving, and running red lights are frequently cited as contributing factors.

In Pennsylvania in 2020, 7.26 percent of Pennsylvania’s drivers had at least one speeding ticket on their driving record. In 2022, there were 1,179 traffic fatalities in the state. Speeding was a factor in 39 percent of those deaths. Alcohol impairment was a factor in 29 percent of them.

Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 16- to 24-year-old drivers, and many of those fatal crashes are alcohol related. Thirty percent of drivers ages 16 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking alcohol.

You should know the fines and other penalties for the learner’s permit knowledge test. But these penalties also serve as a reminder to you, a new driver, of the potentially serious consequences of violating the traffic laws. There’s no better way to ensure that you stay out of trouble on Pennsylvania’s roadways!
