How we make our questions

We use AI to draft questions and then check every answer against the official text it comes from. No driving instructor or government body has reviewed them. This page explains the whole process.

Where the questions come from

For signs, signals and road markings we use the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD, 11th Edition), the national standard every state follows. For safety facts we use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). For common rules of the road we also use the Uniform Vehicle Code, a model law that many states’ rules follow, always together with a check that the rule really holds everywhere.

The all-states set and state packs

A question goes into our all-states set only if its rule holds in every state. Rules that vary by state belong in state packs: speed limits, phone laws, alcohol limits for drivers under 21, school bus rules on divided roads, parking distances and more. Texas is our first state pack. For Texas we use the Texas Transportation Code and other Texas statutes, the Texas Driver Handbook from the Texas Department of Public Safety (form DL-7, revised January 2026), and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) pages on parent-taught driver’s ed.

How a question is written and checked

AI helps draft and check our questions, using models from OpenAI, DeepSeek and Anthropic. Here is what happens before Fri Vei AS publishes a question:

  1. Draft from the source. We paste the source text into a model from OpenAI or DeepSeek, along with the rule or section number, and it drafts the question. Each question cites its source.
  2. Check without showing the answer. The other company’s model answers the question without seeing which answer is marked correct. If it picks a different answer, the question is flagged.
  3. Look for problems. A model reviews the question against the source and tries to find flaws: is there only one right answer, could a wrong choice also be reasonable, has the question left out a condition, or changed “should” to “must”? For the all-states set it also checks whether any state does it differently.
  4. Check the exact sentence. An AI editor (Anthropic’s Claude, working for Fri Vei AS) checks the answer against the exact sentence in the source, and we store that sentence with the question.
  5. Approve. A question is published only when every check passes: the blind answer matched, both models’ last verdict was OK (or a tie-breaker settled the dispute), the answer was checked against its cited source, and an automatic validator passed.

The 20 October 2026 audit

On 20 October 2026 we checked the approved US questions against their source quotes in the MUTCD, UVC, Texas statutes, DPS Texas Driver Handbook and other cited official guidance. We also checked source passages in context. These source-quote checks support the answers; they do not replace instructor review.

The questions on this website

The US web shows 45 of the 279 checked questions in our bank. The 25-question all-states sample and the one free 40-question Texas mock overlap: the mock contains 20 Texas law questions and 20 of the all-states sample. The DriveQuiz app is coming soon with all 279 questions. Our sign-library questions were drafted with AI help from the MUTCD and checked against the cited section; these separate questions did not go through the bank’s blind check. Every answer on the site names and links its official source, including the MUTCD section, UVC section, Texas Transportation Code section, DPS Texas Driver Handbook or other named official guidance.

What these checks do not include

No driving instructor has reviewed our questions. No government body has reviewed, approved or endorsed DriveQuiz, including any state DMV, Texas DPS and TDLR. Our questions are not the real test questions, and we do not have access to those. We would like a Texas driving instructor or parent-taught course provider to review the Texas pack, and we will say so here if and when that happens.

Keeping questions current

We re-check our sources at least once a year and whenever a source changes. Every guide, quiz and sign page shows the date it was last checked and links each source. Sources and image credits lists them all.

What this means for you

Use the quizzes to learn and find gaps in what you know. Then read your state’s driver handbook itself: it is what your test is written from, and it has your state’s numbers.
