Welcome to our free Texas Fines and Limits permit practice test! This unique test focuses on the legal consequences of traffic offenses. Learn about the penalties for driving while intoxicated (DWI) for a first, second, and third offense: license suspension, fines, and even jail time. Learn how the penalties increase if there was a child passenger in the vehicle with you at the time. Learn the penalties for leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run) and how those penalties increase if someone was injured in the accident. Also learn the fines for driving without a safety belt, violating Texas’s Open Container law, driving without a valid license, and driving while your license is already suspended or revoked. (Try to memorize all these fines for your instruction permit knowledge exam.)
This practice test is based on Texas’s official driver’s manual (Texas DMV Handbook (TX Driver's Manual) 2025) and the Texas Statutes. It has 50 multiple-choice questions and is up to date as of October 2025. Like our other Texas practice tests, the Texas 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 Texas in 2023, there were 558,953 traffic accidents (about 1,531 accidents per day), involving 4,283 total fatalities and 18,752 serious injuries. 1,090 (25.4%) of these fatalities involved a driver under the influence of alcohol. The total fatalities included 599 motorcyclists, 807 pedestrians, and 105 pedalcyclists. Each day in 2023, at least one person was killed in a traffic crash.
The most frequent contributing factors in the total crashes were changed lanes when unsafe (49,410 crashes), disregarded traffic signal (21,738), disregarded stop sign or light (16,484), backed without safety (9,354), and wild animal on road (6,136). The most frequent contributing factors in the fatal crashes were disregarded traffic signal (122), disregarded stop sign or light (106), defective or slick tires (67), changed lane when unsafe (67), and disabled in traffic lane (54).
That same year, there were 84,962 charges of DWI. Of these DWI charges, there were 11,495 convictions for DWI and 5,917 convictions for some other offense.
You should know the fines and other penalties for your instruction permit knowledge test. But these penalties also serve to remind you, a new driver, of the potentially serious consequences of violating the traffic laws. Remembering the possible consequences can help you stay out of trouble on Texas’s roadways!
