South Dakota exam answer

What score does South Dakota require?

South Dakota DPS states that the noncommercial knowledge test covers rules of the road and safe-driving practices and requires a score of 80% or higher. This independent practice uses original questions, adaptive review, Saved Rules, and direct source citations rather than copied test items.

A blizzard reduces South Dakota visibility to a few car lengths. What should you do?

  1. Slow dramatically and leave the roadway safely if travel cannot continue
  2. Maintain the posted speed
  3. Stop in the travel lane

Answer: A. A driver must be able to stop within the visible area and should use a safe off-road location when visibility becomes inadequate.
