Sample questions from this test
Besides from sunset to sunrise, when does Oregon require your headlights to be on?
- A Any time you cannot see people or vehicles 500 feet ahead of you
- B Only when it is raining heavily
- C Any time you cannot see people or vehicles 1,000 feet ahead
- D Only on freeways and highways
Show answer
C. Any time you cannot see people or vehicles 1,000 feet ahead
Oregon requires headlights from sunset to sunrise and whenever conditions make it hard to see people or vehicles 1,000 feet ahead. Headlights help others see you at any time of day.
In Oregon, how close to a fire hydrant may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet
- B No closer than 5 feet
- C No closer than 10 feet
- D No closer than 15 feet
Show answer
C. No closer than 10 feet
Oregon prohibits parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant. Firefighters need clear access to connect hoses quickly.
At what blood alcohol concentration does Oregon law presume a driver 21 or older is impaired?
- A 0.08% or more
- B Any amount at all
- C 0.10% or more
- D 0.05% or more
Show answer
A. 0.08% or more
Oregon presumes you are impaired at a BAC of 0.08% or more. You can still be arrested for DUII at a lower BAC if alcohol or drugs are affecting your driving.
A white sign under a stop sign reads "Right Turn Permitted Without Stopping." What does it mean for you if you are going straight?
- A You may proceed straight after slowing, the same as at a yield sign
- B Everyone at that stop sign may roll through without stopping
- C The stop sign is no longer in force at certain hours
- D Stop and yield; only right-turning traffic may skip the stop
Show answer
D. Stop and yield; only right-turning traffic may skip the stop
This plaque lets right-turning traffic turn without stopping. Every other driver at that stop sign, including those going straight or turning left, must still stop and yield.
When may you use hand-and-arm signals instead of your turn signal lights in Oregon?
- A At night if your signal lights are hard to see
- B At any time of day or night, as long as you start them 100 feet before the turn
- C In daylight when you can clearly see people and vehicles 1,000 feet away
- D Whenever you drive a wide or long vehicle
Show answer
C. In daylight when you can clearly see people and vehicles 1,000 feet away
Hand-and-arm signals are hard to see, so Oregon allows them only in daylight when you can see 1,000 feet. At night or in poor visibility you must use signal lights, and drivers of wide or long vehicles should not use hand signals.
