What driver fitness rules are on the Utah permit test?

Utah's driver fitness questions come from its own statutes and the Utah Driver License Division handbook. QuizLane covers 4 Utah-specific driver fitness items, drawn from 3 distinct source sections, alongside 10 questions on rules that apply in every state.

How many driver fitness questions are on the Utah permit test?

Utah Driver License Division does not publish a per-topic breakdown. The test as a whole has 50 questions and you need 40 correct (80%) to pass, so driver fitness is worth studying alongside every other topic rather than in isolation.

Are these official Utah DMV driver fitness questions?

No. These are original study questions written against Utah law and the official handbook, each carrying the section it came from. They are not endorsed by Utah Driver License Division and are not copies of the real exam.

Do I need an account to practice Utah driver fitness questions?

No. Practice starts immediately as a guest. An account is optional and only saves your attempt history across devices.

4 questions on Utah’s own driver fitness rules

These differ from the rules that hold nationally — they are the ones that catch out drivers who studied another state’s handbook.

1. Utah’s per se alcohol limit for drivers 21 and older is a BAC over:
- A0.02%
- B0.10%
- C0.08%
- 0.05%
Answer: 0.05%. The Utah Driver Handbook states that if you are over 0.05 BAC (0.04 for CDL), you violate the law — Utah’s distinctive lower adult limit.

2. Utah’s Not-a-Drop Act applies when a person under 21 drives with:
- A0.08% BAC or more only
- Any measurable amount of alcohol in their body
- C0.05% BAC or more only
- DAn open container only
Answer: Any measurable amount of alcohol in their body. The Utah Driver Handbook states the Not-a-Drop Act provides that a person under 21 years of age driving with any measurable amount of alcohol in their body will have all driving privileges denied for six months for a first offense.

3. A Utah 16-year-old with a driver license (not a learner permit) generally may not drive between:
- 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., except for listed exceptions such as work, school-sponsored activity, agriculture, emergency, or with a licensed driver 21+ in the front seat
- BMidnight and noon
- CAnytime unsupervised
- D10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Answer: 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., except for listed exceptions such as work, school-sponsored activity, agriculture, emergency, or with a licensed driver 21+ in the front seat. The Utah Driver Handbook’s teen restriction table lists nighttime restrictions for age 16 with a driver license as 12 a.m.–5 a.m., with exceptions including accompanied by a licensed driver 21+, agricultural assignment, driving to/from work or a school-sponsored activity, or emergency situations.

4. For the first six months after a Utah 16-year-old receives a driver license, other passengers are generally limited to:
- AUp to three unrelated teens
- BUnlimited if seat belts are worn
- CAny friends
- Immediate family members only (unless accompanied by a licensed driver 21+ or other listed exceptions)
Answer: Immediate family members only (unless accompanied by a licensed driver 21+ or other listed exceptions). The Utah Driver Handbook’s restriction table states that if you have a driver license (not permit) at age 16, other passenger restrictions are immediate family members only in the vehicle until six months from the issue date (with exceptions such as accompanied by a licensed driver 21+).

1. What is the only reliable remedy for driver fatigue?
- AOpening the windows

- It can impair judgment, vision, coordination, and reaction time
- BIt affects only new drivers
- CCoffee immediately cancels its effects

Answer: It can impair judgment, vision, coordination, and reaction time. Alcohol can impair several abilities needed for safe driving, and only time lowers the amount in the body.

3. Driving while very angry or upset is dangerous because strong emotion:
- AHas no measurable effect
- BOnly matters in heavy traffic
