MPI knowledge test practice 2026: 73 free questions

A quiet side street in Winnipeg has this sign at the junction. No traffic is visible. What action is required?

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop before entering

The stop duty applies even when the intersection seems empty. A full stop gives time to check for people and traffic before moving on.

Two cars reach an unsigned Winnipeg intersection at nearly the same time. The other car is on your right. Who yields?

Correct answer: You yield to the vehicle on your right

At an uncontrolled intersection, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. Arriving together does not make vehicle size a tie-breaker.

At a Manitoba stop sign with a marked crosswalk but no stop line, where must you stop?

Correct answer: Before entering the crosswalk on your side of the intersection

The Act places the required stop before the near-side marked crosswalk when there is no stop line. You may then proceed only when it is safe.

You enter a Manitoba restricted speed area with no different speed sign. What limit does the Highway Traffic Act set by default?

Correct answer: 50 km/h

The general limit within a restricted speed area is 50 km/h unless a different limit has been fixed. A posted limit takes priority over this default.

A cyclist travels ahead on a Manitoba road and there is room to pass. What side space must you keep as you go by?

Correct answer: At least one metre between your vehicle and the bicycle

Manitoba's passing rule requires at least one metre beside a bicycle or power-assisted bicycle. Leave more space when conditions make the minimum unsafe.

You find an open curb space in Winnipeg directly in front of a driveway. May you park there for a short errand?

Correct answer: No, stopping or parking in front of a driveway is prohibited

The Act prohibits stopping, standing or parking in front of a driveway. A short errand does not leave the access clear.

A Manitoba school bus has flashing red warning lamps operating on an undivided road. You approach from the opposite direction. What must you do?

Correct answer: Stop at least five metres away and do not pass while the red lamps flash

The Act requires vehicles approaching from either direction to stop at least five metres away while the red warning system operates. Children may cross into your lane after leaving the bus.

A Class 5L learner has had one beer at lunch and now feels fit to drive in Manitoba. What is the applicable rule?

Correct answer: The learner must not drive with any alcohol in their system

The learner-stage condition requires no alcohol in the driver's system. Feeling capable does not create an exception.

A Winnipeg student is 15 years and six months old and wants a Class 5L licence. Which situation lets them apply now?

Correct answer: They are enrolled in a Driver Z course that is in progress

MPI permits an application at this age only while the applicant is enrolled in a qualifying course that is in progress. Otherwise the ordinary minimum age is 16.

An ambulance with siren and required lights approaches as you are about to enter a Manitoba intersection. What action leaves its route clear?

Correct answer: Pull toward the curb and stop clear of the intersection

The emergency vehicle rule requires a driver to clear an intersection, move toward the curb and stop until it passes. Blocking the junction can delay the ambulance.
