Practice questions with answers

A sample of 10 questions from the MPI knowledge test bank, spread across its subjects and shown in full before you start.

Sample question 1Road signs
StopSTOP

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.

Sample question 2Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 3Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 4Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 5Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 6Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 7Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 8Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 9Rules of the road

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.

Sample question 10Rules of the road

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.

All four figures are counted from the questions themselves when the site is built, rather than typed in by hand.

None of them is copied from another practice site, and none is generated from an unnamed source. If a question looks wrong to you, it may be wrong: say which one and what you think it should say, through the corrections route on the methodology page, and it gets checked against the source rather than argued about.
