From North Dakota Class D Noncommercial Driver License Manual (2025-2027) · Rules of the Road — Parking
A chemical test of .08 percent puts a driver 21 or older over the line in North Dakota; for drivers under 21 it is .02 percent. A first offense in seven years brings a 91-day suspension.
For an emergency or law enforcement vehicle parked at a crash with its lights on, North Dakota drivers pull to the right-hand side and stop. Once stopped, you may pass at your own risk when the roadway is clear, unless an officer directs otherwise.
The Rules of the Road knowledge test can be taken online or at a driver license site, followed by a vision screening. NDDOT publishes neither the question count nor a passing score, so OneTryPass does not quote one.
Inside the testing area, phones, bags and notes are banned, and walking out before you finish counts as a fail. The Class D test comes in 14 languages.
