Not a quiz. A drive.
The permit test checks what you know. The road checks what you do.
-
1
Drive real junctions
Four-way stops, traffic lights, left turns across oncoming traffic. The game picks the turn, like an examiner would.
-
2
Traffic plays by the rules
Other drivers stop, yield and take their turn. Signs, signals and lines mean what they mean in your state's handbook.
-
3
Every mistake, explained
A photo of the moment, the rule you broke, and what to do instead. The theory shows up exactly when you need it.
What you practice
The situations people get wrong.
-
Four-way stops
Who stopped first goes first. Ties go to the right.
-
Traffic lights & right on red
Stop at the line, check the crosswalk, then turn if it's legal.
-
Unprotected left turns
Yield to oncoming traffic and go on a gap you can actually use.
-
Crosswalks
Someone's on the stripes or stepping off the curb? You stop.
-
Turn signals
Before every turn and every lane change, not halfway through it.
-
Blocked lanes & merges
Signal, check the gap, merge without making anyone brake.
-
Speed limits
They change street to street. Read the number painted in your lane.
-
Picking the right lane
Turning left from two lanes? Start in the right one, end in the right one.
Your instructor
Meet Ray.
Ray rides along on every drive. He calls the turn before the junction, and when you get one wrong he says which rule it was, in plain words, with a picture of what the road looked like.
New to the wheel? Start in the practice yard: four short rooms for the pedals, turns, lane changes and signals, before you meet any traffic.
Practice tests and Yield do different jobs.
A practice test
- Asks who goes first at a four-way stop
- Multiple choice, one question at a time
- Checks that you remember the rule
Yield
- Puts you at the four-way stop, with three cars arriving
- Live traffic, at real speed
- Checks that you can use the rule
Use both. Yield is practice, not driver's ed, and where a rule differs, your state's handbook is the one that counts. How Yield works as a driving test simulator.
Questions
What is Yield?
A top-down driving game built around US traffic law. You drive a real route through junctions, all-way stops, traffic lights, unprotected left turns, merges, crosswalks and work zones. Every rule you break is caught as it happens, and Ray — the instructor riding along — tells you what the right move was.
How is it different from a permit practice test?
Practice tests check whether you can recall a rule. Yield checks whether you can apply one while three other cars are moving. The theory only ever appears after a mistake, attached to the moment you made it, with a picture of what the road looked like at the time.
Does Yield replace driver's ed or my state's handbook?
No. Yield is practice, not instruction. It is not driving lessons, not legal advice, and not a substitute for your state's driver education program, its driver handbook, or supervised time behind a real wheel. Traffic law varies from state to state, and where a rule differs, your state's handbook is the one that counts.
Who is it for?
Learner drivers studying for a permit or license, drivers new to the United States who already drive but not under these rules, and anyone who passed the written test years ago and still hesitates at a four-way stop.
Are there ads or in-app purchases?
Yes, but only one kind: a short ad can play when you tap Retry after a crash on the open road, never on your first crash of a session and never mid-drive or in the practice yard. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no password. Your progress — miles driven, practice-yard rooms passed, your fault history — is stored on your own device and nowhere else.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The whole game runs offline. The only thing the app uses the network for is anonymous usage analytics, and the game plays exactly the same when that fails to send. See the Privacy Policy for what is measured.
I think Yield called a fault wrongly. What do I do?
Open the fault, tap Dispute, and say what you saw. That report reaches us with the rule, the junction and the maneuver attached, which is what makes it possible to go and check. Getting the rules right is the whole point of the game, so these are read. For anything else, see support.
Where can I download it?
Yield is out now on the App Store and on Google Play. The two buttons at the top of this page go to the same listings.
Your road test is a drive.
