A 3-minute lesson from the Utah course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Before your first license you pass two knowledge tests: the written knowledge test at the office and the online Traffic Safety and Trends exam. Half of the Trends exam is about what actually kills people on Utah roads, so learn the leading crash causes below.
The Traffic Safety and Trends exam is offered only on the Driver License Division website and may be taken as often as needed before licensing. 50% of its questions cover significant causes of traffic deaths from Utah Highway Safety Office statistics.
You fail the written test in the morning. If the office can fit you in, you may try again that day. After a third failure within 12 months, you pay a new fee for three more attempts.
