We wrote these practice questions from the facts in the Louisiana Class D & E Driver's Guide (DPSMV2052 (R08/25) on the cover (the table of contents page still prints the older form number DPSMV2052 (R03/2021)), linked from https://expresslane.la.gov/omv/resources/driver-manuals/ to Louisiana DPS's document system, read 2026-11-09. Page numbers cited are PDF pages (printed page = PDF page minus 5 in the main text). Questions and citations use the OMV Driver Manuals page as the official URL because the PDF itself is served from public.powerdms.com, which is not a .gov or .us host. Chapter 10 (Class D chauffeur's license, air brakes) and Chapter 10-A (trailers) are not used: they do not apply to Class E applicants. The guide's phone rules are out of date: it says drivers 17 or younger may not use a wireless device for calls or texts (PDF p. 116) and points to R.S. 32:59 for exceptions (PDF p. 83), but R.S. 32:300.5-300.8 were repealed by Acts 2025, No. 288, and the new R.S. 32:59 (Acts 2025, No. 288; Acts 2026, No. 677; read on legis.la.gov 2026-11-09) bars hand-held use for all drivers, allows hands-free calls and has no age rule; R.S. 32:289.1 still bars any cell phone use in the first year of a first license. Phone questions and phone coverage follow the current statutes, cited as the source; the guide's under-17 rule is not used. Full check of 2026-11-09 found more guide passages that current law no longer matches; questions follow the statute and these pages are not used as sources: work-zone fines 'double' (PDF p. 36; R.S. 32:57(H) sets $500-$1,000), plate destroyed after 3 days (PDF p. 141; R.S. 32:863.1 says 60 days), no stop for a school bus on 4- or 5-lane roads with a two-way left-turn lane (PDF pp. 93-94; not in R.S. 32:80(C)), first DWI fine $1,025 (PDF p. 129; R.S. 14:98.1 caps it at $1,000). edition) and from official sources on road signs. Every answer links to its source, so you can check it and read more.
