Applicants who do not complete an approved driver education course must log 100 supervised hours instead of 50.
Pick an answer on each question to see whether you got it right, with an explanation.
This is a short sample — DriveDrill has 200+ Oregon questions
and full-length mock exams in the app.
Q1. A flashing yellow arrow at a left-turn lane means:
A You have a protected left turnB You may turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestriansC Stop and wait for a green arrowD Left turns are prohibited
A flashing yellow arrow is an unprotected turn. Oncoming traffic has the green, so you may only go when there is a safe gap.
Q2. In Oregon, a learner permit must be held for at least how long before the road test?
A 3 monthsB 6 monthsC 30 daysD 9 months
The holding period exists so new drivers practise across seasons and conditions rather than cramming a licence in a weekend.
Q3. In Oregon, after an emergency vehicle using its lights or siren passes you, you must:
A Stay at least 500 feet behind the vehicleB Stay at least 100 feet behind the vehicleC Pass it as soon as it is safe to do soD Immediately resume normal following distance
Oregon requires drivers to keep well back from an emergency vehicle even after it has passed, giving responders room to work and travel safely.
Q4. When you park facing downhill on a road with no curb, turn your wheels:
A It does not matter on a flat shoulderB Toward the edge of the roadC Straight aheadD Toward the center of the road
With no curb to catch the tire, point the wheels so a rolling vehicle goes off the road rather than into traffic.
Q5. You are being passed by a large truck. You should:
A Stay to the right of your lane and let it passB Speed up so it takes less timeC Brake hard to help it inD Move left toward the center line
Hold a steady speed and keep right within your lane. Air turbulence can push a small car, so keep both hands on the wheel.
Q6. In Oregon, a newly licensed driver under 18 generally may not drive between:
A 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.B midnight to 5 a.m.C 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.D 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Documented exceptions usually cover work, school activities, emergencies and driving with a licensed adult. Carry the paperwork if you rely on one.
Q7. Under Oregon's child passenger restraint law, a child must ride in an approved child safety seat until:
A They are 5 years old, with no height requirementB They weigh at least 60 pounds, regardless of ageC They are 8 years old or at least 4 feet 9 inches tall, and the adult belt fits them correctlyD They are 10 years old, regardless of height
Oregon's child safety seat law uses an age-or-height test, and the child can only move to the adult seat belt alone once it fits them correctly on its own.
Q8. School zone speed limits usually apply:
A Only on school busesB 24 hours a day, every dayC Only during the first week of schoolD During posted hours or when children are present
Read the sign: many zones are time-based, others use flashing beacons or a when-children-are-present condition.
Q9. Combining alcohol with another drug usually:
A Multiplies the impairment beyond either one aloneB Cancels the effects outC Has no effect on drivingD Only matters above the legal limit
Interactions are unpredictable and often far stronger than the sum of the parts.
Q10. Driving through a work zone at night, you should:
A Follow the vehicle ahead closely for guidanceB Use high beams to see the conesC Assume the lanes are the same as yesterdayD Slow down and watch for workers, equipment and changed lane patterns
Lane patterns change day to day in a work zone, and workers may be close to traffic. Read the signs rather than relying on memory.
