Virginia guide
Every fact links to the official page it came from. www.dmv.virginia.gov blocked every request, so all facts come from the Code of Virginia (Title 46.2, Chapter 3) on the General Assembly's official law.lis.virginia.gov site. Last checked Nov 15, 2026.
These links open official government websites. USA DMV is an independent study site and is not affiliated with any of them.
Sample questions
Think of your answer first, then open the explanation.

Virginia requires the driver to make sure every passenger under 18 is in a child restraint (up to age 8) or a safety belt, in any seating position.
B. On a highway divided by a barrier or unpaved median, going the other way
Virginia drivers need not stop when traveling in the opposite direction on a roadway divided by a median or barrier, but must still watch for children.

Virginia requires drivers to stop within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail when a signal, gate, flagger, or train warns of a train.
