Maryland Licensing at a Glance

Maryland gives a permit at 15 and a half and a license at 16 and a half after driver ed. The 25-question test and road test are required.

What Makes Maryland Different

Maryland adds a highway-safety curriculum and covers Baltimore-Washington beltway merging and Bay Bridge tunnel approaches.

The Written Test on This Page

Our 50 practice questions follow the topics in the official Maryland driver handbook: road signs, right-of-way, speed limits, work zones, and sharing the road with cyclists, pedestrians, and large trucks. Drill them, then read every explanation to learn the rule, not just the answer.

Maryland Test-Day Tip

Maryland candidates should review beltway merging and the highway-safety curriculum, common miss areas.

Most-Missed Maryland Topic

Safe Habits for MD

Preparing for the MD Exam

Review beltway merging and the highway-safety curriculum, then learn the HOV lane occupancy rule, a specific Maryland beltway item.

On the Day in MD

Yield in Baltimore-Washington beltway merges, slow on the Bay Bridge approach, and use HOV lanes only at the right occupancy.

After You Pass in MD

After the written pass, finish driver ed and book the road test; Maryland re-checks beltway and HOV habits behind the wheel.

Carry the permit on practice drives and use HOV lanes only at the right occupancy until the card comes.
