Prepare for your learner’s instruction permit knowledge test AND stay safe and legal with our special free South Dakota Fines and Limits permit practice test. It’s up to date as of January 2025. This test isn’t about the rules of the road, but instead about the legal consequences of violating those rules, especially the possible loss of driving privileges. The practice test is up to date as of January 2025 and is based on South Dakota’s official driver’s manual (South Dakota DMV Handbook (SD Driver's Manual) 2025) and the South Dakota Codified Laws.
On this practice test, you’ll learn how many points are added to your driving record for such common violations as speeding, improper passing, reckless driving, running a red light or stop sign, and failing to yield the right-of-way. You’ll learn how many points result in license suspension and the length of that suspension. You’ll learn the penalties for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and when a conviction will leave you with a felony criminal record. You’ll learn about the jail sentence for leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run). You’ll also learn the amounts of the fines for texting while driving and driving without wearing a seat belt. (Penalties for some of these other offenses also include fines. Learn them all for your knowledge test.)
