Oklahoma SOK Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is turn off your cell phone until you reach your destination.

A distraction is still a distraction, even on a straightaway or an empty road. Do not eat, drink, smoke, text, read, or have difficult conversations while driving. If possible, turn off your phone and keep it off until you are done driving for the day.

Not quite. The answer is try not to slow down suddenly

When you turn off a high-speed, two-lane roadway, try not to slow down suddenly or you might get rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. Use your turn signals to let other drivers know your intentions. Tap your brakes and reduce your speed quickly but safely.

Not quite. The answer is Never

You are not allowed to drive off the pavement or main traveled portion of the roadway to pass another vehicle on the right.

Not quite. The answer is D) 10 inches from the curb

In Oklahoma, you may not park on a bridge, on a sidewalk, or more than 18 inches from the curb. You may not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. There are also other places where you are not allowed to park. Check for signs or pavement markings that prohibit or limit parking. Here, the car in situation D) has legally parked 10 inches from the curb. [Unlawful Parking, Chapter 10: Parking, Oklahoma Driver's Manual],

Not quite. The answer is yield to vehicles already on the main road.

Drivers entering a road from a driveway, an alley, or the roadside must yield to vehicles already on the main road. If there is a sidewalk or crosswalk, drivers must also stop.

Not quite. The answer is not pass the stopped vehicle.

When a vehicle ahead of you stops for a pedestrian, you must not pass the stopped vehicle even if there are two lanes available. This is a frequent hazard for pedestrians.

Not quite. The answer is not increase your speed

If you're being passed by another vehicle, let the other driver pass you safely. Don't increase your speed until the pass is complete. Also, if you're being passed on the left, keep right.

Not quite. The answer is return to the original lane

You must pass at a safe distance. Do not return to the original lane until you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rear-view mirror. Switch on your turn signal to return to the original lane.

Not quite. The answer is Angle parking

Angle parking is commonly found in parking lots and shopping centers and sometimes at curbs. When you enter an angle parking space, watch for pedestrians and traffic both ahead of you and behind you, and do not park too closely to other vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is keep right.

When entering a roundabout, you must keep right of the center island. Do not stop if the way is clear. Travel around the circle until you reach your desired exit. Then give a right-turn signal and exit the roundabout.

Not quite. The answer is you must not drive across the median or barrier except at an approved crossover.

When a highway is divided into two roadways by a median or barrier, you must not drive across the median or barrier except at an approved crossover.

Not quite. The answer is turn right and merge into traffic

A roundabout is a one-way circular intersection in which vehicles travel counterclockwise around a central island. To enter a roundabout, you must turn right and yield the right-of-way to vehicles that are already in the roundabout.

Not quite. The answer is yield the right-of-way to the traffic on the main road.

If you are on a single- or two-lane road and come to an intersection with a divided highway or a road with three or more lanes, you must yield the right-of-way to the traffic on the main road.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, this is a "protected" turn; oncoming traffic is stopped.

The red light stops vehicles from proceeding straight through the intersection, while the green arrow allows vehicles to turn left. This is a "protected" turn; oncoming traffic is stopped at a red light while the green arrow is lit for you. However, you must still yield to vehicles already in the intersection and crossing pedestrians before you turn.

Not quite. The answer is an acceleration lane

At the end of most entrance ramps on expressways or freeways, you will find an acceleration lane that lets you increase your speed to the speed of highway traffic before you merge with it.

Not quite. The answer is The recommended position of the hands on the steering wheel of a vehicle without airbags

This picture represents the most effective position (10 o'clock and 2 o'clock) of the hands on the steering wheel of a vehicle without airbags. On a vehicle with airbags, however, it can be dangerous to place your hands that high on the steering wheel. The driver's airbag deploys out of the steering wheel at very high speed and might drive your hands into your face or even injure your hands. If you're driving a vehicle with airbags, keep your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.

Not quite. The answer is (a) Left turns

A shared center lane (called a two-way left-turn lane in Oklahoma law) is set aside for making left turns from the roadway. In Oklahoma, unlike some other states, vehicles are also allowed to turn left onto the roadway in this lane and then merge into another lane. You are not allowed to drive, park, or pass here. Use this lane with caution because vehicles traveling in the opposite direction may also use it. [3 Lanes, Chapter 7: Lane Usage and Maneuvers, Oklahoma Driver's Manual],

Not quite. The answer is making left turns

Shared center lanes are reserved for making left turns (and U-turns where permitted) and may be used by vehicles traveling in either direction. In Oklahoma, unlike some other states, vehicles are also allowed to turn left onto the roadway in this lane and then merge into another lane. These lanes must never be used for passing.

Not quite. The answer is blind spots

When you wish to change lanes, look over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move to make sure there are no vehicles in your blind spots. You cannot see these areas in your mirrors.

Not quite. The answer is This driver intends to slow down or stop.

This arm signal is the equivalent of the brake lights on the driver's vehicle. This driver intends to slow down or stop.
