Sample LTO Non-Professional Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the LTO Non-Professional exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 122+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A red octagonal sign at an intersection means you must:

A.Slow down only if another vehicle is near

B.Come to a complete stop before proceeding safely

C.Yield only to vehicles coming from the right

D.Continue if there is no pedestrian crossing

Explanation: The red octagon is the stop sign. A safe driver stops fully at the proper stopping point, checks pedestrians and cross traffic, and proceeds only when the way is clear.

2A yield sign tells a driver to:

A.Speed up to merge before other traffic

B.Stop in every case, even when the road is empty

C.Slow down and give way to traffic or pedestrians with priority

D.Use the horn before entering the intersection

Explanation: Yield means you must let the other road user go first. You may need to stop, but the key duty is to slow, observe, and enter only when doing so will not interfere with traffic that has priority.

3A circular sign with a red border and a black left-turn arrow crossed by a red slash means:

A.Left turn is prohibited

B.Left turn is required

C.Left lane ends ahead

D.Left turn is allowed only for motorcycles

Explanation: A red slash through a movement symbol indicates that the movement is prohibited. Do not make the turn unless another authorized traffic officer gives a different instruction.

4What does a speed-limit sign showing 60 inside a red circle require?

A.Drive exactly 60 kph at all times

B.Do not exceed 60 kph where the sign applies

C.Drive at least 60 kph when traffic is light

D.Use 60 kph only when overtaking

Explanation: A posted maximum speed limit is the highest lawful speed under good conditions. You must still drive slower when traffic, weather, visibility, road surface, or pedestrians make 60 kph unsafe.

5A yellow diamond-shaped sign is usually used to warn drivers about:

A.A service facility nearby

B.A traffic regulation that applies immediately

C.A hazard or road condition ahead

D.A parking area for private cars only

Explanation: Warning signs alert drivers to conditions ahead, such as curves, intersections, narrowing roads, pedestrian areas, or other hazards. The correct response is to reduce risk before reaching the hazard.

6A pedestrian-crossing warning sign means a driver should:

A.Sound the horn continuously to clear the crossing

B.Prepare to slow or stop for pedestrians near the crossing

C.Pass any slow vehicle before reaching the crossing

D.Stop only if the pedestrian is already touching your vehicle lane

Explanation: Pedestrian warnings require early scanning and speed control. Waiting until a pedestrian is already in your lane leaves too little margin and conflicts with the duty to drive with reasonable caution.

7A blue service sign with a fuel-pump symbol tells drivers that:

A.Fuel or a service station is available nearby

B.Only public utility vehicles may enter

C.Fuel trucks have the right-of-way

D.No refueling is allowed in the area

Explanation: Blue guide or service signs give helpful information about services such as fuel, hospitals, parking, or rest areas. They do not create a traffic priority by themselves.

8A sign showing a curved arrow warns that the road ahead:

A.Is a compulsory U-turn slot

B.Changes direction and requires reduced speed

C.Is open only to emergency vehicles

D.Has a parking lane on the curve

Explanation: Curve warnings tell you to adjust speed before entering the curve. Braking hard inside a curve can reduce control, especially on wet pavement or when motorcycles are nearby.

9A railroad-crossing warning sign means you should:

A.Speed up so you cross before any train arrives

B.Stop on the tracks if traffic is backed up

C.Look and listen, then cross only when the way beyond the tracks is clear

D.Ignore the sign unless a barrier is already lowered

Explanation: Rail crossings require extra caution because trains cannot stop quickly. Never enter a crossing unless you can clear it completely on the other side.

10A one-way sign means:

A.Traffic may move only in the direction shown

B.Only one vehicle may enter at a time

C.Only motorcycles may use the lane

D.Overtaking is allowed in both directions

Explanation: One-way signs control the permitted direction of travel. Entering against the arrow creates head-on conflict and is especially dangerous at intersections and driveways.

About the LTO Non-Professional Exam

LTO Non-Professional: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the LTO Filipino Driver's Manual sections on road signs, pavement markings, driver responsibilities, and defensive driving before taking practice questions.

2Anchor logistics to the primary rules: 60 random theory questions, 48 correct to pass, and 70 out of 100 on the practical road test.

3Memorize high-risk RA 4136 rules: right-of-way at intersections, pedestrian crossings, emergency vehicles, overtaking restrictions, prohibited parking locations, and accident duties.

4Know the special laws most likely to appear in driver education: RA 8750 seat belts, RA 10054 motorcycle helmets, RA 10666 child motorcycle passengers, RA 10913 distracted driving, and RA 10586 drunk and drugged driving.

5Practice explaining why each wrong answer is unsafe; the LTO exam rewards practical road-safety judgment, not only sign memorization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the LTO non-professional theoretical exam, and what is the passing score?

The RA 10930 implementing rules specify 60 randomly selected questions for a driver-license applicant. The passing rate is 80%, so at least 48 answers must be correct.

What are the official requirements for a new LTO non-professional driver's license?

The 2025 LTO Citizen's Charter requires a Filipino applicant to be at least 17 (18 for a foreign applicant), be able to read and write in Filipino and/or English, hold a student-driver's permit for at least one month, complete and pass the required PDC, be physically and mentally fit, have no unsettled traffic violation, and pass both the theoretical and practical examinations. The checklist also requires the applicable identity, medical, PDC, student-permit, consent, and TIN documents.

What happens after a failed theoretical or practical examination?

Under the RA 10930 implementing rules, a failed theory applicant may reapply on the following regular working day. A failed practical-test applicant may reapply after seven calendar days. The student permit must remain usable for the transaction.

What is the practical road-test passing score?

The current LTO road-test score sheet starts the applicant at 100 points and sets the passing score at 70. Listed automatic-failure events can end the test even before ordinary demerit scoring is complete.

How much are the official LTO fees for a new non-professional driver's license?

The official LTO application and license fees total P685: P100 application plus P585 license. Medical, training, vehicle-rental, and other third-party charges are separate and should be checked with the provider.

How long are the student permit and a new driver license usable?

The student permit is valid for one year. It can support a new-license application after that first year only when the PDC was completed during the one-year validity period; after two years from issuance a new student permit and new apprenticeship period are required. A newly issued driver license is generally valid for five years, while a qualified violation-free renewal may receive ten years.
