About the Alabama ALEA written test

The Alabama knowledge test (often searched as the Alabama permit test or Alabama DMV test) checks that new drivers understand road signs, traffic laws and safe driving habits before getting a learner's permit. The questions come from the official Alabama driver handbook published by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

Alabama applicants take a knowledge test based on the official Alabama Driver Manual published by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). The test covers state traffic laws, road signs and safe driving rules, and costs $5. Alabama uses a three-stage graduated license for teens, starting with a learner license at 15.
