About these questions
We wrote these practice questions from the facts in the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide (Volume 1, Edition 10, October 2026 (file Arkansas-DL-Study-Guide-English_10282026.pdf, 98 PDF pages, linked as 'English - 10/28/2026' from the Arkansas State Police Driver Examination page), read 2026-11-10. Page numbers cited are PDF pages (printed page = PDF page minus 12). The PDF is served from media.ark.org, which is not a .gov or .us host, so questions and facts cite the ASP Driver Examination page on dps.arkansas.gov as the URL and name the guide in doc/section (as for Louisiana). Licenses are issued by the DFA Office of Driver Services; its pages on dfa.arkansas.gov and Acts on arkleg.state.ar.us (the Arkansas Code itself is published only through LexisNexis, not an official host) are the sources where the guide is silent or out of date. Code sections were checked for 2017-2025 amendments with the General Assembly's Code Sections Amended lists. Guide statements that differ from current law or official agency pages and were not used: a first DWI suspension of 120 days (PDF p. 86; DFA DUI/DWI Offenses page, Ark. Code 5-65-103: six months); Underage DUI 'revoked until 21' with a $2,000 fine (PDF p. 87; DFA Underage Offenses page: 90 days for a first offense); police notification for property damage over $1,000 (PDF p. 92; Ark. Code 27-53-202(a) as amended by Act 815 of 2023: $3,000 or more); the DFA accident report at more than $3,000 (PDF p. 93; DFA Safety Responsibility page and SR-1 form: more than $1,000 within 30 days); a move-over fine 'up to $500' (PDF p. 27; Ark. Code 27-51-310(c)(1) as amended by Act 550 of 2019: $250 to $1,000, which matches PDF p. 23); the phone summary that drivers 21 or older may use a cell phone (PDF p. 58), which leaves out the all-driver hand-held bans in school zones and work zones (27-51-1605, 27-51-1606 as rewritten by Act 738 of 2019; questions follow the Act); the school bus section does not give the 30-foot stopping distance of 27-51-1004(a) (Act 264 of 2021), which the questions add; the school bus fine of $250 to $1,000 (PDF p. 25) is not used because Act 166 of 2019 added 27-51-1001(d) with a separate fine for violations of 27-51-1004 and the current text could not be read on an official host (DO UZUPELNIENIA); the vision rule on PDF p. 83 (20/70 in one eye with or without lenses) differs from PDF p. 17 (20/40 uncorrected, 20/70 corrected, citing 27-16-704), and questions use p. 17; the intermediate night rule on PDF p. 16 joins the exceptions with 'AND', while the ASP GDL sheet lists them as alternatives, so questions test only the hours; the guide's yield and Do Not Enter sign descriptions (PDF p. 38) and the 0.04-0.08% DWI passage (PDF p. 86) are not used; the yield penalty on PDF p. 38 (fine up to $1,000 and a 180-day suspension for failing to yield) is not used because the additional penalties of Ark. Code 27-51-604 apply only in narrower cases and the current text could not be read on an official host. edition) and from official sources on road signs. Every answer links to its source, so you can check it and read more.
