How this simulator works
- Knowledge test: 25 questions, 20 correct to pass.

- You won’t see whether you were right until the end, just like at the Oregon test. Then you can review every answer with its explanation.
- Questions are drawn fresh from the full Oregon bank each time.
Sample questions
What is the minimum age to get an Oregon Motorcycle Instruction Permit?
- A 15 years old
- B 17 years old
- C 16 years old
- D 21 years old
Show answer
C. 16 years old
You must be at least 16, hold a valid Oregon driver license, have parent or guardian consent if under 18, and pass the motorcycle knowledge and vision tests. The motorcycle permit builds on an existing driver license rather than replacing it.
You need to stop quickly in a straight line. How should you brake?
- A Use only the rear brake to keep the front stable
- B Apply maximum front brake instantly
- C Use only the front brake and pull in the clutch to keep the engine running
- D Use both brakes at once without locking either wheel
Show answer
D. Use both brakes at once without locking either wheel
Stop quickly by applying controlled pressure to both brakes at the same time without locking either wheel. Increase front brake pressure gradually as weight transfers forward, and keep your knees against the tank and eyes up.
Who must wear a motorcycle helmet under Oregon law?
- A Only riders under age 21 and anyone riding on an instruction permit
- B Every operator and passenger on a motorcycle, moped or unenclosed autocycle
- C Only riders who do not carry proof of insurance
- D Only operators; passengers may choose
Show answer
B. Every operator and passenger on a motorcycle, moped or unenclosed autocycle
Oregon has a universal helmet law: everyone riding a motorcycle, moped or unenclosed autocycle, as operator or passenger, must wear a helmet. A DOT-compliant helmet reduces the chance of severe or fatal head injury at any speed.
When used correctly, how much of your total stopping power can the front brake provide?
- A About 30%
- B 70% or more
- C About 50%
- D Less than 25%
Show answer
B. 70% or more
When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire, so the front brake can provide 70% or more of your stopping power. That is why you should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
