1 What score is required to pass the Connecticut DMV knowledge test?
Connecticut requires 80% (20 of 25 questions) to pass.
2 Traffic on I-95 is heavy and fast. To keep a safe gap you should:
Keep at least a 3-second cushion (more in bad weather) so you have time to react in dense, high-speed traffic.
3 An emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder with lights flashing. Connecticut's Move Over law requires you to:
Move Over laws require you to change lanes away from stopped emergency/utility vehicles when safe, or slow down if you can't move over.
4 What is the shape of a STOP sign?
Only the STOP sign is an octagon. The unique 8-sided shape lets drivers recognize it even when snow or dirt hides the wording.
5 A solid yellow line on your side of the center line means:
A solid yellow line on your side means you may not cross it to pass. A broken yellow line on your side would allow passing when safe.
6 Under good conditions, the minimum safe following distance is about:
Use the 3-second rule: pick a fixed point, and you should pass it at least 3 seconds after the car ahead. Add more time in rain, fog, or at higher speeds.
7 A triangular (downward-pointing) sign tells you to:
A downward triangle is always a YIELD sign. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.
8 When a traffic light is flashing red, you must:
A flashing red light has the same meaning as a STOP sign: come to a full stop, then proceed only when it is safe.
9 In fog, the safest headlights to use are:
High beams reflect off fog and reduce visibility. Use low beams (and fog lights if equipped), and slow down.
10 A school bus ahead stops and turns on its flashing red lights on an undivided road. You must:
On an undivided road, traffic in BOTH directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and remain stopped until the lights are turned off.

Local statutes to flag
Connecticut brings nor'easter snow and ice, Long Island Sound coastal storms, dense fog, and heavy commuter traffic. DMV questions like to test winter following distance, skid recovery, and merging safely in congestion.
Book a DMV appointment, then arrive early with ID, SSN, two residency proofs, and consent forms. Use the wait to review right-of-way and move-over questions, then check in calm and ready.
