25 sample questions from DriveDrill's 232-question Oklahoma bank. Pick an answer to see if you got it right, and why.
Q1. In Oklahoma, using a hand-held cell phone while driving is:
A Banned for learner and intermediate license holders, and texting is banned for everyone
B Illegal for all drivers
C Illegal for all drivers, but enforced as a secondary offense
D Banned in school and work zones, and texting is banned everywhere
Fully licensed drivers may hold a phone to talk, but new drivers may not, and nobody may text.
Q2. Unless a sign prohibits it, a right turn on red is allowed:
A Without stopping first, as long as the way looks clear
B Only when you are turning from a one-way street
C Only during certain hours posted for that intersection
D After a complete stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians
Right on red requires a full stop first, then yielding to everyone already entitled to go. A NO TURN ON RED sign removes the option entirely.
Q3. The only thing that reduces blood alcohol concentration is:
A Coffee
B Exercise
C A cold shower
D Time
The liver processes alcohol at a fixed rate. Nothing speeds it up, so the only plan that works is not driving.
Q4. In Oklahoma, the maximum posted speed limit on urban interstate highways is:
A 65 mph
B 75 mph
C 70 mph
D 60 mph
Urban interstates are held to a lower maximum than open rural highway, because of interchange spacing and traffic volume.
Q5. According to the Oklahoma Driver Manual, most vehicles will become buoyant and float away in:
A 2 feet (24 inches) of water or less
B 4 feet of moving water only
C 1 foot of standing water, but only on a hill
D 6 feet of water or more
The manual warns that it takes surprisingly little water to float a car, which is why you should never try to drive across a flooded road.
Q6. The best way to reduce glare from headlights behind you at night is to:
A Use the night setting or automatic dimming on your rear-view mirror
B Increase your speed to put more distance ahead of the glare
C Ignore the rear-view mirror and rely on the side mirror instead
D Adjust the mirror so it points completely away from the road
The night position deflects the bright image while keeping a usable view behind you.
Q7. In Oklahoma, the maximum speed limit on rural interstate highways is:
A 65 mph
B 75 mph
C 70 mph
D 80 mph
That is the highest limit the state allows on a rural interstate. The posted sign always governs, and a lower speed can still be required by conditions.
Q8. After a crash with injury or significant damage you must usually:
A Report it only when you believe you were the one at fault
B Report it only if a vehicle had to be towed from the scene
C Report it to law enforcement or the state as your state requires
D Report it to your insurance company, and skip law enforcement
Every state sets a damage threshold and a deadline for reporting. Exchange information at the scene and file the report on time.
Q9. The accelerator sticks open. You should:
A Keep pumping the accelerator pedal until it frees itself
B Switch off the engine while still at full driving speed
C Pull the parking brake on hard while still at full speed
D Shift to neutral, brake, and steer to the side of the road
Neutral disconnects the engine from the wheels so you keep power steering and brakes. Once stopped, shut the engine off.
Q10. In Oklahoma, a driver under 21 is over the limit with:
A Any blood alcohol content of 0.05% or above
B Any blood alcohol content of 0.02% or above
C Any blood alcohol content above 0.00%
D Any blood alcohol content of 0.01% or above
This is a true zero tolerance state: any measurable alcohol is enough for a suspension, and mouthwash or cough syrup can reach it.
Q11. Under Oklahoma's child passenger restraint law, a child must ride rear-facing until:
A The child turns exactly 1 year old, with no other condition attached
B The child can simply sit up on their own without any support of any kind
C The child weighs at least 40 pounds, whatever the child's age
D The child turns 2 years old, or reaches the seat's weight or height limit, whichever comes first
Oklahoma's child restraint law ties the switch out of a rear-facing seat to whichever comes first: turning 2, or reaching the restraint system's own weight or height limit.
Q12. A strong crosswind is pushing your vehicle. You should:
A Slow down and keep a firm grip with both hands
B Steer with one hand and relax
C Drive closer to large trucks for shelter
D Speed up to stabilise the car
Wind gusts are strongest in open country and beside large vehicles. Slow down, hold the wheel firmly, and expect a push when a truck passes.
Q13. A space cushion around your vehicle is useful because:
A It gives you room and time to react to what other drivers do
B It keeps your vehicle's fuel use lower over a long trip
C It lets you safely drive faster than the posted limit
D It is a following distance required by law on highways
Space is time. The more of it you keep on all four sides, the more options you have when something goes wrong.
Q14. A flashing red traffic light means:
A Stop, then go when it is safe
B The signal is out of order — do not enter
C Stop and wait for the light to turn green
D Slow down and proceed with caution
Treat a flashing red exactly like a stop sign: full stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians, then proceed when the way is clear.
Q15. When a train is coming and you must stop at a railroad crossing, stop no closer to the nearest rail than:
A 2 feet
B 5 feet
C It does not matter if the gate is down
D 15 feet
Fifteen feet keeps you clear of the train's overhang and of the gate arm. Most states also say to stop no farther than 50 feet back, so you can still see the tracks.
Q16. You may park in a space marked with the International Symbol of Access:
A If no other parking space at all happens to be open nearby
B If you only expect to be parked there for just a few short minutes
C If you simply switch on your hazard lights the whole time you are parked
D Only if the vehicle displays a valid disability placard or plate and is transporting that person
Accessible spaces need a valid placard or plate, and the person it belongs to must be involved in the trip. Fines are steep and vehicles are towed.
Q17. You notice one headlight is out at night. You should:
A Get it replaced promptly — it is an equipment violation and other drivers misjudge your position
B Drive using your high beams in place of the burned-out light for the rest of the trip
C Drive only on roads that already have their own street lighting installed
D Wait until the vehicle's next scheduled inspection to have it looked at
From a distance one light reads as a motorcycle, and oncoming drivers misjudge how much room you take. Fix it before driving at night again.
Q18. After passing another vehicle, you should return to your lane when:
A The other driver flashes their headlights to wave you back
B You have simply finished accelerating past the vehicle
C You have pulled about one car length ahead of the vehicle
D You can see the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror
Seeing both headlights of the vehicle you passed in your mirror means you have enough room to move back over without cutting the driver off.
Q19. On a long downgrade you should:
A Shift to neutral and coast down the grade to save fuel
B Ride the brake pedal steadily all the way down the grade
C Shift to a lower gear and brake in short applications on the way down
D Switch off the engine and coast down under gravity alone
Continuous braking overheats the brakes and they fade. Let the engine hold the vehicle back and brake in short firm applications.
Q20. In Oklahoma, points already on your driving record are reduced all the way to zero if you have:
A No traffic violation convictions for five consecutive years
B Paid a reinstatement fee within six months
C No traffic violation convictions for three consecutive years
D No traffic violation convictions for one consecutive year
Oklahoma's point system gradually forgives points for clean driving, and a full reset to zero happens after three consecutive years without a pointable conviction.
Q21. In Oklahoma, a learner permit must be held for at least how long before the road test?
A 6 months
B 3 months
C 9 months
D 30 days
The holding period exists so new drivers practice across seasons and conditions rather than cramming a license in a weekend.
Q22. Before backing out of a parking space you should:
A Sound your horn once and then reverse right away
B Rely on the backup camera alone, without a look on foot first
C Check behind the vehicle on foot or with mirrors and camera, then back slowly
D Back up quickly so you spend less time blocking the lane
Cameras miss low objects and fast-moving children. Look behind the vehicle before you get in, then back slowly while checking all around.
Q23. In Oklahoma, during the restricted period, a young driver may carry:
A no more than one passenger
B one passenger of any age, but only between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
C no passengers at all, and that never changes as the driver gets older
D any number of passengers, as long as a parent rides along every time
Crash risk for a teen driver climbs sharply with each additional teen passenger, which is what this rule is built around.
Q24. Blood alcohol concentration depends on:
A Just how much alcohol you drank, no matter your body weight
B How tired you feel, rather than what or how much you drank
C Whatever you ate that day, regardless of your weight
D How much you drank, over how long, your body weight and other factors
Two people drinking the same amount can end up at very different levels, so nobody can judge their own BAC reliably.
Q25. In Oklahoma, a teen driver convicted of a moving violation while holding a learner or intermediate license:
A Is moved up to a full license early as a penalty
B Faces no change to their GDL level
C Stays at that GDL level for at least 6 months from the date of conviction
D Immediately loses driving privileges for one full year
Oklahoma's Graduated Driver License program holds a teen back at their current level for a set period after a moving-violation conviction before they can advance.
