Colorado driving practice tests

The real test

• The DMV does not publish the question count or pass mark on dmv.colorado.gov. The 25 questions and 80% used here are what Colorado driving schools and recent test-takers consistently report; the handbook itself says only that the test covers road signs, driving under the influence, driving rules, safety rules and legal items.
• You can take the test in a state driver license office, at a driving school, or online through the DMV's @Home Driving Knowledge Test, which gives you 60 minutes, requires a webcam, and needs an adult over 19 to act as proxy if you are under 19.
• There is no limit on attempts, but only two tests a day. Every retest costs an $11.50 state fee, and in-office tests are not started within 30 minutes of closing.
• Under-18 applicants must bring a parent or another eligible adult with a Colorado license to sign the Affidavit of Liability (DR 2460), and then hold the permit 12 months with 50 logged hours (10 at night) before the drive test.

Read the official handbook

This is the source everything on the real test comes from, and it is free. Practice questions find your gaps; the handbook fills them. Read it on the government's own site so you get the current version.

Watch out for

Rules that catch people out in Colorado specifically.

• The under-21 alcohol limit is 0.02, not 0.08 - roughly one drink - and a purchase or possession conviction costs the license even when no driving was involved.
• On a steep, narrow mountain road the DOWNHILL driver yields, backing up to a turnout if needed; uphill traffic has the right-of-way.
• Headlights are required from sunset to sunrise or whenever you cannot see 1,000 feet - and on four-lane roads posted above 40 mph the signal distance doubles from 100 to 200 feet.
• A school bus with red lights flashing stops traffic in BOTH directions on any undivided road, including four-lane roads without a median; only a median lets oncoming traffic continue, and you stop 20 feet back.
• Passing does not suspend the speed limit: exceeding the posted limit to complete a pass is listed as an illegal passing behaviour.
