The Utah permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Utah learner's permit. Administered by the Utah DLD, it is based on the official Utah driver handbook.
The Utah DLD written knowledge test is a 50-question closed-book exam covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving from the Utah Driver Handbook. You must answer at least 40 correctly (80%) to pass, plus an eye exam.
You must complete driver education (under 19) and hold the learner permit for at least 6 months before the driving skills test for a provisional license at 16.
In Utah, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit at 15 years old, required (27 + 6 + 6 hrs), and log 40 hours (10 at night) of supervised driving over a 6 months permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Utah DLD administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
