Montana Class D car practice

Practice mode
Question 1 of 10Learner eligibility

  3. 3. How long is an ordinary Montana learner license valid from issuance?
  4. 4. A 16-year-old learner wants to practice with a licensed 19-year-old friend who is not a parent or guardian. What additional condition is required for that supervisor?
  5. 5. A learner’s qualified supervisor proposes following in a second car during ordinary car practice. Does that satisfy the required position?
  6. 6. A teen has finished the required supervised hours but has held the learner permit for only four months. What minimum permit period does current MVD guidance require before progression?
  7. 7. Which supervised practice total is required for Montana’s teen progression from the learner stage?
  8. 8. A teen completes the hours and holding period but received a traffic violation during the preceding six months. What does MVD’s progression rule require?
  9. 9. During the first six months of a restricted license, a 16-year-old car driver has no licensed adult supervisor. How many unrelated passengers under 18 are ordinarily allowed?
  10. 10. A 17-year-old is in the second six months of the first-year restriction period, with no adult supervisor. Four unrelated 17-year-old friends want a ride. What is the correct decision?

Study & prepare

Your Montana study guide

Use this Montana permit practice guide to choose a starting point and compare the available study formats. Its leading topic groups are licensing & laws and hazards, weather & emergencies; these describe this practice selection, not the agency’s published test weighting. Read each situation before choosing an answer, then use the explanation and source link to understand the rule behind it. When an answer surprises you, return to that part of the handbook rather than memorizing the position of the correct choice. Review your missed questions before starting another test. These independent exercises support handbook study; they are not the licensing examination or a guarantee of passing.
