Yukon Class 7 Knowledge Test Practice 2026

Yukon's Class 7 knowledge test is administered by the Motor Vehicles branch of the Department of Highways and Public Works. The test is split into two 20-question sections (signs and rules of the road), and you need at least 16 of 20 (80%) on each section to pass. Most testing is done at the Whitehorse Motor Vehicles office, with limited testing at smaller community offices.

Yukon runs a learner stage and a novice stage. A learner spends a minimum of six months at that stage, drives only between 5 a.m. and midnight, logs at least 50 hours of practice with a co-driver who has held a Class 5 or better for two years, displays an 'L' sign on the back of the vehicle, and is limited to two passengers including the co-driver unless they are immediate family. A novice needs a co-driver between midnight and 5 a.m., unless approved for a midnight work exemption, and stays at that stage for at least 18 months before applying for a full class licence. Zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs applies to the driver and the co-driver at both stages.

The Yukon's handbook addresses driving in extreme cold and isolated stretches. The Alaska Highway, the Klondike Highway, and Robert Campbell Highway can all have hundreds of kilometres between fuel stops or communities, especially in winter. The handbook treats trip-planning, fuel management, and emergency-kit contents as core safety topics.

Yukon roads are mostly two-lane and rural, with significant gravel sections, particularly heading north toward Dawson City and beyond. The handbook covers specific techniques for gravel-road driving (avoiding sudden steering inputs, increased following distance for the dust cloud, hazards from oncoming truck spray) that aren't emphasized in southern province manuals.

Wildlife is a major focus. Bison, caribou, moose, bears, and Dall sheep all use roadways at various times of year. Dawn and dusk are particularly dangerous. The handbook provides species-specific avoidance techniques and explains why running over a smaller animal (like a fox) is sometimes safer than swerving and risking a collision with something larger.
