Service New Brunswick does not publish a question count, a numeric pass mark or a time limit for the NB drivers test. Level 1 lasts at least 12 months, or 8 months after a recognized licensed driving school course. The Road Sign Recognition Exam and Rules of the Road Non-Commercial Knowledge Exam are separate. You retake only a test you fail. This free practice hub has 75 questions with the answer, an explanation and a citation.

The number beside each subject is how many questions we have written on it for New Brunswick. A subject appears here once there are enough of them to be worth sitting down with.
At an unsigned intersection in Fredericton, you and a car on your right arrive together. Who should enter first?
Correct answer: The car on your right
When two vehicles enter an unsigned intersection at about the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Here you are on the left, so let that car go before entering.
You are turning right from a Saint John street with no marked turn lane. Where should you position the car?
Correct answer: As close as practicable to the right edge
The Act places a right turn close to the right curb or edge when there is no right-turn lane. That path keeps the turn predictable for traffic beside and behind you.
A normal town street in New Brunswick has no speed sign and is not a local highway as defined in the Highway Act. What default maximum applies?
Correct answer: 50 km/h
The Act sets a 50 km/h default on other highways within a local authority when no maximum-speed sign is posted. A posted limit or a special zone can change that maximum.
A school bus on an undivided road near Oromocto stops with red lights flashing. You are approaching from the opposite direction. What must you do?
Correct answer: Stop at least five metres from the bus
Drivers meeting or overtaking a stopped school bus with flashing red lights must stop at least five metres away. Wait until the bus moves again or the red lights stop flashing.
A Class 7 Level 1 driver in Fredericton still has alcohol in their bloodstream after dinner. May they drive now with their supervisor?
Correct answer: No, Level 1 requires zero blood alcohol while driving
New Brunswick applies zero blood alcohol tolerance throughout graduated licensing. Feeling capable and having a supervisor do not remove that condition.
A new Class 7 Level 1 driver in New Brunswick did not take recognized driver training. When is the earliest they can take the road test to enter Level 2?
Correct answer: After twelve months
Without recognized driver training, Level 1 has a minimum twelve-month hold before the road test. The shorter eight-month route depends on completing the approved course.
An ambulance with flashing red light and siren approaches behind you in a Fredericton intersection. Where should you stop?
Correct answer: Clear the intersection, pull close to the right edge and stop
The Act requires drivers to yield and stop near the right edge clear of an intersection. Stopping in the junction can block the emergency vehicle’s route.
Every question here was written against the handbook and the legislation that Service New Brunswick publishes, and every one carries the reason for its answer and the section it rests on.

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.
