Sample questions for Oregon

Three sample questions from our practice bank. Read the explanation after each.

  1. Question 1 · Knowledge test

    • 25 questions, 20 correct
    • 30 questions, 24 correct
    • 35 questions, 28 correct
    • 40 questions, 32 correct
    See the explanation

    Correct answer: 35 questions, 28 correct

    Oregon: 35 questions, get 28 right (80%) to pass.

  2. Question 2 · Adverse conditions

    On a wet Oregon coastal or mountain road, how should you handle a curve?

    • Brake hard in the middle of the curve
    • Slow down before entering the curve
    • Accelerate through the curve
    • Coast in neutral around the curve
    See the explanation

    Correct answer: Slow down before entering the curve

    Slow down before the curve, not during it — wet roads reduce traction.

  3. Question 3 · Vehicle equipment

    When must you use your headlights?

    • Only on the highway
    • At night and whenever visibility is reduced
    • Only when other cars are near
    • Never during daytime rain
    See the explanation

    Correct answer: At night and whenever visibility is reduced

    Use headlights at night and whenever visibility is low — including when your wipers are on.

Road signs you must know cold

Sign shapes: - Octagon = STOP - Triangle (point down) = YIELD - Diamond = WARNING - Pentagon = SCHOOL ZONE - Round = RAILROAD CROSSING - Rectangle (vertical) = REGULATORY - Rectangle (horizontal) = GUIDE Colors: - Red = stop / do not enter - Yellow = warning - Orange = construction - Green = direction - Blue = motorist services - Brown = recreation

Right-of-way rules that get tested every time

- Uncontrolled intersection: car on the right goes first. - Left turn: yield to oncoming traffic. - Pedestrians in crosswalk: always have the right of way. - Emergency vehicles with lights/siren: pull right and stop. - 4-way stop: first to arrive goes first; if tied, car on right wins. - School bus with red flashing lights: stop in both directions on undivided roads.

Oregon key rules to memorize

- Road signs and traffic signals - Right-of-way and intersections - Speed limits and safe following distance - Rain, fog and mountain/coastal driving conditions - Alcohol, drugs and Oregon implied-consent law

DUI and zero-tolerance — easy points

- Adult limit (21+): 0.08% BAC. - Commercial drivers: 0.04% BAC. - Under 21: zero tolerance (0.01–0.02% BAC). - Refusing breathalyzer = automatic license suspension ("implied consent"). - First DUI in Oregon: suspension, fines, mandatory classes, possible ignition interlock.

Stopping distances (rule of thumb)

Total stopping distance = perception + reaction + braking. At 55 mph in dry conditions: ~250–300 feet. Wet roads roughly double that. Follow the 3-second rule for following distance; 4–5 seconds in bad weather.
