Practice Test 4
Safe & Defensive Driving Practices
Study Guide
This test draws 10 questions from the RI DMV Handbook covering traffic laws, road signs, right-of-way rules, safe driving practices, and speed limits. Questions are selected using a fixed seed so Practice Test 4 always presents the same set — making it easy to track your improvement over multiple attempts.
Ask the examiner which topic areas tripped you up — most offices will give a general breakdown. Then return to these practice tests and focus on questions in those categories. Read every explanation carefully, not just for questions you got completely wrong. Most people who fail once pass on their second attempt after a few days of targeted review.
Yes — most state DMVs offer the knowledge test in multiple languages including Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and others. Check the RI DMV website for the full list available at your local office. These practice tests are currently in English, but the questions and concepts are the same regardless of which language you choose for the real test.
You don't need to memorise it cover to cover, but reading the Rhode Island DMV Handbook once — especially the chapters on traffic laws, right of way, and road signs — is strongly recommended. These practice tests are built directly from it, so working through all 5 tests and reviewing each explanation effectively teaches you the highest-priority material without reading every page in detail.
