Explanation: Connecticut's legal BAC limit is 0.08% for drivers 21 and over. The state calls the offense operating under the influence (OUI).
Connecticut DMV is administered by the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), headquartered in Hartford. The official Connecticut written knowledge exam has 25 questions, and drivers must answer 20 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Connecticut DMV test.
What makes the Connecticut DMV test unique?
Connecticut's test heavily covers roundabout right-of-way (the state has added dozens in the last decade), school bus laws, and graduated licensing restrictions for teens.
Drivers with a learner's permit cannot carry any passenger other than a trainer or parent/guardian for the first 6 months.
Expect several questions on passenger-restriction rules under Connecticut's Graduated Driver License (GDL) program.
