We recommend taking our FREE sample practice test after you review our Study Guide. Using these study tools will enable you to pass the written knowledge exam the first time you take it!

Become Familiar with Traffic Laws

Drivers must know all traffic laws in order to prevent accidents from happening and to be safe and responsible traffic participants. You need to learn them also in order to successfully pass the written drivers test. Take the DMV.com Sample Practice Exam in order to check your knowledge on traffic laws. After that, we advise you to go over the sections you knew the least before taking the written knowledge exam.

Recognize Traffic Signs

Traffic signs are usually placed on the side of the road and can be found in different shapes and colors. You must understand them in order to become a safe traffic participant. The written drivers exam has questions on traffic signs, which focus on:

  • Traffic sign colors and shapes.
  • Traffic sign identification and meanings.
  • Placards and warning signs.
  • Turns at intersections.

Use the DMV.com Study Guide and Free Sample Practice Test to go over traffic signs.

Obey Traffic Signals

The meanings of traffic signals are as important as the meanings of traffic signs. You are required to learn them in order to pass the written drivers test. Therefore, DMV.com advises you to check your knowledge by practicing with the Free Practice Tests before taking the official New Mexico DMV written exam.

Familiarize Yourself with Pavement Markings

Drivers are also required to understand and obey pavement markings in order to drive safely on New Mexico roads. Take the DMV.com sample practice test in order to see how much you understand about pavement markings such as:

  • Edge and lane lines
  • White lane markings
  • Crosswalk and stop lines
  • Yellow lane markings

Drive Carefully in Inclement Weather

The inclement weather conditions in New Mexico may often cause accidents and injuries on the roads. The New Mexico written drivers exam includes questions on how to operate a motor vehicle in such conditions, and in the following situations:

  • Engine breakdown
  • Tire blowout or power failure
  • Driving in foggy weather with limited visibility
  • Driving on wet roads, due to rain or snow
  • Drifting, skidding and hydroplaning
  • Wet brakes or brake failure
  • Jammed gas pedals
