  1. Getting your permit

    Question 1. How many questions are on Oregon's Class C knowledge test, and how many must you answer correctly?

    Show answer

    From Oregon Driver Manual 2026–2027 · Testing — Knowledge Tests

  2. Getting your permit

    Question 2. You are 16 and hold an Oregon provisional instruction permit. Who may supervise your driving?

    Show answer

    Answer: A. A licensed driver who is at least 21 and sits beside you

    The permit is valid only with a licensed driver aged 21 or older in the seat next to you. For the practice to count toward your required hours, that driver must have held a license for at least 3 years.

  3. Speed and following distance

    Question 3. An Oregon school speed sign is the "school hours" type, with no flashing light. When must you keep to 20 mph?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on days school is in session

    A school hours sign applies between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on a school day. If you are not sure whether school is in session, the manual tells you to slow to 20 mph anyway.

  4. Speed and following distance

    Question 4. No speed limit is posted on a street in an Oregon residential district. What is the legal limit?

    Show answer

    Answer: D. 25 mph

    Oregon sets 25 mph by law in residential districts, public parks and on ocean shores open to vehicles, unless a different speed is posted. Business districts and school speed zones drop to 20 mph.

  5. Sharing the road

    Question 5. You are on an Oregon road with two lanes in your direction and come up on a car stopped on the shoulder with its lights flashing. What should you do?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. Change lanes so you are not next to it; you may also slow to at least 5 mph under the limit

    The rule covers any motor vehicle stopped with flashing lights, not just police cars or tow trucks. Move out of the lane beside it, and you may also slow to at least 5 mph below the posted limit, giving it all the room you safely can.

  6. Sharing the road

    Question 6. A school bus stops with red lights flashing across a road whose two directions are divided only by a painted median. What must you do in Oregon?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. Stop, because a painted median does not make two separate roads

    Only an unpaved median strip or a barrier turns a highway into two separate roads. With a painted median or a center turn lane, every lane of traffic must stop until the bus driver turns off the red lights.

  7. Railroad crossings

    Question 7. A train has just passed and the crossing gate is starting to lift. When may you drive across?

    Show answer

    Answer: A. Only once the gate is fully up and you are sure you can cross safely

    Oregon makes it illegal to drive around or under a crossing gate while it is down or while it is being raised or lowered. After that, cross only when you are sure it is safe; on multiple tracks a second train may be coming.

  8. Parking

    Question 8. What is the closest you may park to a fire hydrant in Oregon?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. 10 feet

    The Oregon Driver Manual bars stopping or parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant. Crosswalks at intersections need 20 feet, and railroad or light rail crossings need 50 feet from the nearest rail.

    From Oregon Driver Manual 2026–2027 · Parking & Stopping — No Parking

  9. Alcohol and drugs

    Question 9. A 19-year-old Oregon driver takes a breath test after one beer. What blood alcohol level means the driver fails?

    Show answer

    Answer: D. Any amount at all

    Oregon has a zero tolerance law for drivers under 21, so any blood alcohol concentration is a failed test. Drivers 21 and older fail at 0.08 percent or more.

    From Oregon Driver Manual 2026–2027 · Safe & Responsible Driving — Impaired Driving

  10. Getting your permit

    Question 10. A 17-year-old with an Oregon provisional license wants to take a call through a hands-free headset while driving. Is that allowed?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. No, drivers under 18 may not use a mobile device at all, hands-free included

    Until 18, Oregon drivers may not use a cell phone or other mobile electronic device while driving, with or without a hands-free accessory. From 18 on, a phone may be used only through a hands-free accessory.

With the permit, a licensed driver at least 21 sits beside you. Six months of permit driving and 100 supervised hours (50 with an approved driver education course) come before the provisional license.
