Passing the Utah DMV written Permit Test is the first official step toward becoming a licensed driver. Before you are allowed to practice supervised driving, you must pass a vision screening and pass the written knowledge test with a minimum required score of 80%. The written Permit Test covers traffic laws and safe driving practices, and presents questions in a style and wording that requires a deep conceptual understanding of the material. This level of understanding is not adequately achieved by using outdated study guides or static pdfs. The exam measures your grasp of right-of-way rules, traffic signals, pavement markings, speed laws, roundabouts, freeway driving, and the responsibilities of sharing the road with pedestrians, bicyclists, large trucks, motorcycles, emergency vehicles, and trains. According to statewide crash data included in the manual, the leading causes of crashes and fatalities include failing to yield the right of way. These real-world situations are reflected in the questions on the knowledge exam. Our team of experts has created practice tests with photorealistic questions to ensure you fully understand these scenarios.

You can apply for the entry-level learner permit as early as age 15. The learner permit is valid for 18 months. While driving on a learner permit, you must be accompanied by a financially liable licensed parent, legal guardian, approved driving instructor, or qualified adult who is seated beside you. Utah’s graduated driver licensing (GDL) structure advances privileges in stages. If you are aged 16 or 17, you must hold the learner permit for six months before you may qualify for a provisional Class D license. If you are 19 years of age or older and have never been licensed, you must hold the learner permit for at least 90 days before you may qualify for a regular Class D driver license. However, if you complete an approved driver education course, the 90-day holding requirement is waived.
