For a driver 18 or older, DPS may suspend the license after a hearing for traffic convictions of at least:
Repeated violations, meaning four or more separate convictions within 12 months or seven or more within 24 months, are grounds for an administrative suspension. For drivers under 18 the threshold is two convictions in 12 months.
A yellow 25 MPH plaque under a curve warning sign tells you:
The advisory plaque gives the recommended speed for taking the curve safely in good conditions. It is advice, not a legal speed limit, and it is neither a minimum speed nor a new limit for the road beyond.
A driver approaching this sign should be ready to:
A lower gear lets the engine help slow the car on a long downhill so the brakes do not overheat. Coasting in neutral is the tempting shortcut, but it is illegal in Texas and reduces control.
An oncoming car is approaching at night. How close can it get before you must switch to low beams?
Low beams are required once an oncoming car is inside 500 feet, when you follow inside 300 feet, on lighted streets, and in fog, snow, sleet, dust, or heavy rain.
The round yellow sign with an X and RR means:
The round advance warning sign tells you a crossing is coming up. Slow down, look, and be ready to stop; the crossbuck marks the tracks themselves.
A restriction printed on your license is meant to:
The handbook describes a restriction as a safety measure rather than an obstacle, for example requiring corrective lenses. You can ask a driver license office about adding or removing one.
At this sign, you are required to:
A stop sign always means a full stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, then yield to others. Slowing down or rolling through is not enough.
On a road where all lanes go your direction, the line you may cross to pass when safe is:
Broken lines allow passing or changing lanes when it is safe. Solid white lines should not be crossed if possible, and double solid white lines may not be crossed at all.
A main reason safety belts save lives in a crash is that they:
A belt holds you inside the car, keeps you from slamming into the dashboard, and helps you stay in control. Someone thrown from the car is about five times more likely to be killed.
You hear a siren nearby but cannot see the emergency vehicle yet. What should you do?
You must yield to emergency vehicles sounding a siren, so move right and be ready to stop while you find where it is. Racing ahead or ignoring it until it appears can put you in its path.
