Delaware DMV Test at a Glance

Delaware Speed Limits

In Delaware, the maximum speed limit on highways is 65 mph. In residential areas, you must drive no faster than 25 mph, and in school zones the limit drops to 15 mph when children are present or lights are flashing. Rural roads have a limit of 55 mph.

Speed limit questions are among the most commonly tested on the Delaware DMV exam. The test will give you several close options — you need to know the exact number for your state, not just a rough estimate.

Delaware DUI Laws

Delaware uses the term DUI for impaired driving offenses. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08% for drivers 21 and older. For drivers under 21, Delaware sets the limit at 0.02%.

Under Delaware's implied consent law, by holding a driver's license you have already agreed to submit to chemical testing if an officer suspects impaired driving. Refusing a test typically results in an automatic license suspension — often longer than the penalty for a first-offense DUI.

Unique Delaware Driving Laws

Every state has its own set of driving laws that may differ from what you're used to. Here are some notable Delaware-specific rules to know:

• Delaware requires all passengers to wear seat belts regardless of seating position
• Drivers must move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles on the roadside
• Provisional license holders may not use any electronic communication device while driving

How to Get Your Delaware Learner's Permit

In Delaware, you can apply for a learner's permit at age 15 years 10 months. After meeting all supervised driving requirements and passing both the written and road tests, you can get your full driver's license at age 16 years 10 months.

The Delaware written knowledge exam consists of 30 questions, and you need to answer at least 24 correctly to pass — that's a 80% passing rate. Our practice tests use 25 questions so you can build your knowledge before tackling the real thing.

Once you have your license, be aware of Delaware's point system: Points range from 2 to 6. Accumulating 14 or more points results in a 2-month suspension.
