Tennessee driver tests add bicycle hand signals
Beginning January 1, 2026, Tennessee written tests for driver licenses and intermediate driver licenses must include bicycle hand-signal questions. These questions cover signals for turning, slowing, and stopping. The Department of Safety must ensure the driver manual gives reasonably diligent applicants enough information to answer these questions correctly.
