Mississippi DMV Test at a Glance

Mississippi Speed Limits

In Mississippi, the maximum speed limit on highways is 70 mph. In residential areas, you must drive no faster than 30 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 65 mph.

Speed limit questions are among the most commonly tested on the Mississippi 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.

Mississippi DUI Laws

Mississippi 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, Mississippi sets the limit at 0.02%.

Under Mississippi'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 Mississippi Driving Laws

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

• Mississippi does not have a statewide open container law — some municipalities may allow passengers to have open containers
• Mississippi's intermediate license restricts driving between 10 PM and 6 AM for drivers under 16
• Mississippi requires only a learner's permit for 12 months before getting a full license for applicants under 17

How to Get Your Mississippi Learner's Permit

In Mississippi, you can apply for a learner's permit at age 15. 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.

The Mississippi 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 Mississippi's point system: Points range from 1 to 4. 12 points in 12 months results in license suspension.
