Sample permits & licensing questions
What is the youngest age at which you can apply for an Oregon instruction permit?
- A 16
- B 15 and a half
- C 15
- D 14
Show answer
C. 15
You must be at least 15 to apply for an Oregon instruction permit and at least 16 to apply for a license. The permit lets you practice with a qualified supervisor.
You are 16 and want an Oregon driver license. How long must you have had an instruction permit?
- A At least 12 months
- B At least 6 months
- C At least 3 months
- D At least 9 months
Show answer
B. At least 6 months
If you are under 18, you must have held an instruction permit for at least 6 months before getting a license. An out-of-state permit counts toward this time.
You are 16 and have completed an ODOT-approved traffic safety education course. How many hours of supervised driving do you need for a license?
- A 30 hours
- B 40 hours
- C 100 hours
- D 50 hours
Show answer
D. 50 hours
Oregon requires 100 hours of supervised driving, or 50 hours if you also complete an ODOT-approved traffic safety education course. DMV must receive proof that you finished the course.
Your 22-year-old cousin, who got a license 2 years ago, rides with you while you practice. Do those hours count toward your Oregon requirement?
- A Yes, any licensed driver who is 18 or older can supervise practice hours
- B Yes, because the supervisor is over 21
- C Only if the cousin is a parent or legal guardian
- D No, the supervisor needs at least 3 years of valid driving privileges
Show answer
D. No, the supervisor needs at least 3 years of valid driving privileges
Supervised driving counts only if the supervisor is at least 21 and has had valid driving privileges for at least 3 years. A newer driver can be legally present but the hours will not count.
