Northwest Territories Fines and Limits Test
To obtain a Class 7 learner’s licence in the Northwest Territories, an individual must be at least 15 years old, pass a vision screening and the Class 7 Knowledge Exam, and present valid government-issued identification. If you’re under 18, you must also provide written parental or guardian consent. A significant part of the Northwest Territories Class 7 Knowledge Exam is the fines, limits, and penalties questions. If you fail the exam, you will have to wait one day and pay to retest. Our Northwest Territories Fines, Limits, and Penalties Practice Test helps you pass this part of the knowledge exam on your first attempt. To pass the test, you must know the rules, penalties, and safety expectations, especially those related to fines, speed limits, and licence suspensions. Speeding in construction zones results in doubled fines when workers are present. Additionally, you must know the default speed limits (unless otherwise posted) are 90 km/h on primary highways outside municipalities and 50 km/h within municipalities or settlements. In school and playground zones, the limit is typically 30 km/h, and you cannot pass vehicles during zone hours. Learner and probationary drivers must maintain a zero blood alcohol concentration and are banned from using cell phones while driving. Accumulating six or more demerits can result in a learner’s suspension. Additionally, you must carry at least $200,000 in liability insurance, and proof must be shown to an officer upon request. Once you receive a Class 7 Learner’s Licence, you may drive under the supervision of a fully licensed (for at least two years) driver from 6 AM to 11 PM. These restrictions are part of the Northwest Territories’s three-stage Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system. All new drivers (including adults) must abide by these GDL levels and holding periods. The Northwest Territories Knowledge Exam is made up of 30 multiple-choice questions. Of these 30 questions, you must answer 25 correctly (83%) to pass. The exam must be taken at a Driver and Vehicle office. Our Northwest Territories Fines, Limits, and Penalties Practice Test is based on the most recent Northwest Territories Driver’s Guide and contains 30 multiple-choice questions. Unlike standard study guides, our practice tests provide immediate explanations for each response, enhancing retention. Fines, limits, and penalties are just part of your knowledge exam.

At Tests.ca, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your driver's knowledge exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
Alignment with Official Driving Handbooks: Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each province's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each province's official website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration: We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation: Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process: Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism: After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates: In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the provincial government manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the government publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your driver's knowledge exam.
