Texas practice test, right of way
Private practice site. Chapbook is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of motor vehicles, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any state or county agency. These are practice tests written by us to help you study. They are not the official test, and passing here does not give you a licence, a permit, a card, or a certificate of any kind.
Right of way under subchapter C of chapter 545, including the move-over rule in section 545.157 as the 2025 legislature widened it: eight protected categories now, with animal control and parking citation vehicles added in September 2025. Pedestrian duties from chapter 552 sit here too, and since September 2025 the crosswalk rules also protect sidewalk users, people on bicycles, scooters, and skateboards using a sidewalk lawfully.
Each topic set draws up to 20 questions from that topic in the Texas bank and grades against our practice target of 80 percent. That target is our study goal. DPS publishes no pass mark for the Class C test, and none is implied here.

Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
You are in the lane next to a stopped emergency vehicle but changing lanes is impossible because of traffic. The posted limit is 70 mph. What is your lawful passing speed?
✓ Correct answer: No more than 50 mph
Seventy minus twenty is fifty. Where the lane cannot be vacated, the slow down rule sets the speed, and the posted limit stops being the number that governs. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.157(b)(2)(A).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.157(b)(2)(A), checked 2026-11-03.
A driver turning left says the oncoming driver waved them through, so the yield rule switched off. Is that right?
✓ Correct answer: No; a wave is a courtesy, and the left-turn yield duty in the code stays in place
Right of way is given by the code, not by other drivers. A wave can also be a trap: the waving driver cannot see the lane beside them, which is where these crashes come from. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.152.)

You are turning right at a red light after stopping. A pedestrian crosses the street you are turning into, with a Walk signal. Who goes first?
✓ Correct answer: The pedestrian; your turn waits until they are across
Turning right on red comes after a stop, and it yields to pedestrians lawfully in the adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic using the intersection. A pedestrian facing a Walk signal may cross in the direction of the signal, and drivers shall stop and yield to that pedestrian. (Texas Transportation Code secs. 544.007(d) and 552.002(b).)

A patrol car is stopped with lights on beside your lane on a road posted at 30 mph, and traffic makes a lane change impossible. What speed does Move Over set as you pass?
✓ Correct answer: No more than 10 mph, which is 20 below the posted limit
Where the slow down option is used, the figure is 20 mph below the posted limit, so a 30 mph road means passing at no more than 10 mph. The flat 5 mph speed applies only where the posted limit is less than 25 mph. (Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.157(b)(2).)
Texas Transportation Code sec. 545.157(b)(2), checked 2026-11-03.
