California practice test, licences, insurance, and crashes

The paperwork rules that decide whether you're legal at all: who needs a licence, what Class C covers, provisional licence limits for minors, and the point count that makes a negligent operator. Insurance is current law here, 30/60/15 for policies issued or renewed from January 1, 2025, with the old 15/30/5 figures kept only as wrong answers. The set closes with duties after a crash: stop, give information, render aid, and the reports the DMV and the police each require.

Each topic set draws up to 20 questions from that topic in the California bank and grades against our practice target of 80 percent. The target is our study goal, not the DMV's pass mark.

Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap

After a qualifying crash, a driver fails to establish financial responsibility. What happens to the licence?

✓ Correct answer: Suspension, lasting until financial responsibility is established

Section 16070 ties the licence to the duty: after a qualifying crash, a driver who fails to provide evidence of financial responsibility at the time of the accident is suspended 30 days after the department mails its notice of intent, unless responsibility is established before then; section 16075 provides the hearing on that suspension. California Vehicle Code sections 16070 and 16075.

May an AB 60 licence holder drive on the same roads, on the same terms, as any other Class C driver?

✓ Correct answer: Yes; the difference lies in how the licence is issued and its federal identification status, not in driving privileges

The licence drives like any other. What it cannot do is serve as federal identification. California Vehicle Code section 12801.9.
