Signaling, Passing, and Turning — Texas Driver's License Practice Test
This Texas Driver's License Signaling, Passing, and Turning practice set has 32 real questions based on the official handbook, each with an instant explanation. You need 70% on the real Texas Driver's License knowledge test to pass.
📖 Topic overview
This chapter covers when and how to signal your intentions, the rules for safely passing another vehicle, and the correct step-by-step procedure for making right and left turns.
The most-tested concepts are the situations where passing is prohibited (no-passing zones, near intersections/railroad crossings, hills and curves with limited visibility), the proper sequence of checking mirrors/blind spot/signaling before changing lanes, and the steps for executing a proper turn (moving into the correct lane in advance, signaling early, turning at a reasonable speed).
Common mistakes include signaling too late or not holding the signal long enough before a turn, misjudging distance when passing on a two-lane road, and not understanding the specific rules for turning left from or onto a one-way street.
When is it not safe or legal to pass another vehicle?
You should never pass where signs or markings prohibit it, near intersections or railroad crossings, on hills or curves with limited visibility, or near bridges and tunnels — these situations don't give you enough space or sight distance to pass safely.
What's the correct sequence of steps when making a turn?
Decide on the turn well ahead, check your mirrors and blind spot before changing lanes, move into the correct lane early, signal well before the turn, slow to a safe speed, and complete the turn while staying in the proper lane.
How do I know it's safe to return to my lane after passing?
Wait until you can see the vehicle you just passed in your rearview mirror before signaling and moving back into the right lane — this gives enough clearance that you won't cut the other driver off.
