Oregon DMV Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is car pools and vehicles with more than one occupant.

High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are reserved for car pools and vehicles with more than one occupant each. Signs indicate how many people must be in the vehicle, as well as the days and hours to which this applies.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, but you must first yield to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles.

You can proceed on a green signal after you yield to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and vehicles that are already in the intersection.

Not quite. The answer is come to a complete stop and then yield the right of way to pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles on the road you are entering.

If you are entering a main road from a private road, a driveway, or an unpaved road, you must stop before the crosswalk or sidewalk and yield to pedestrians and other vehicles before you may proceed.

Not quite. The answer is leave at least half the road for vehicles going in the opposite direction.

When driving on a two-way road with no centerline markings, you must leave at least half the road for vehicles going in the opposite direction. When you cannot avoid driving to the left of the centerline, you must still yield to oncoming traffic.

Not quite. The answer is Toward the edge of the road

If you park on a hill without a curb, point your front wheels toward the edge of the road. If your brakes fail, your car will roll toward the edge of the road, not into traffic. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear. For an automatic transmission, shift into Park. For a manual transmission, shift into Reverse when facing downhill or first gear for maximum forward torque when facing uphill.

Not quite. The answer is vehicles must not cross the solid yellow line except to turn left.

Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. Do not cross a solid yellow line except to turn left.

Not quite. The answer is work zones.

Work zone signs warn drivers of unusual or potentially dangerous conditions on or near the traveled way. These signs have black letters or symbols on an orange background. When you see these signs, slow down and pay close attention.

Not quite. The answer is not try to turn back onto the pavement right away.

If your vehicle's wheels drift onto the shoulder of the road, do not try to turn back onto the pavement right away. That might throw the vehicle off balance. Instead, slow down, regain control, and slowly turn back onto the roadway.

Not quite. The answer is do all of the above.

A driver under the influence of alcohol is more likely to drive too fast or too slowly, change lanes frequently, and fail to dim the headlights. Even more crucially, a drunk driver may be less alert in an emergency and may take too long to brake. Such mistakes may endanger the driver and others.

Not quite. The answer is a two-way left-turn lane.

This sign indicates a shared central turn lane (also known as a two-way left-turn lane) in the center of the roadway. This lane is reserved for making left turns (and U-turns where permitted) and can be used by vehicles traveling in either direction. The lane is marked on each side by a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line. This lane must never be used for through traffic. Use this lane with caution because vehicles traveling in the opposite direction may also be using it.

Not quite. The answer is when the bus has a turn signal and a flashing "yield" on.

Public transit buses often pull to a curb to load or unload passengers. Vehicles approaching from the rear must yield when a bus driver signals to re-enter a traffic lane and there is an electric sign flashing “yield” on the back of the bus.

Not quite. The answer is freeway exit ramps.

Signs like this provide advisory speeds at freeway exits and entrance ramps. They show the maximum recommended safe speed to drive in ideal weather conditions.

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 12 inches

In parallel parking in Oregon, you must park your vehicle parallel to and no more than 12 inches from the curb. Park in the direction in which vehicles are moving in the lane.

Not quite. The answer is a stop sign.

A stop sign is an eight-sided white-on-red sign, indicating that other traffic has the right-of-way. You must always bring your vehicle to a complete stop and yield to approaching traffic before proceeding.

Not quite. The answer is until you pay what you owe.

If you fail to pay three months or more of court-ordered child support worth a total of at least $2,500, your license may be suspended and other pressures may be put on you until you pay what you owe. After you have done so, the Child Support Enforcement Division or a District Attorney will authorize the DMV to reinstate your driving privileges once you pay them a $85 reinstatement fee.

Not quite. The answer is A solid yellow line

You may not cross a solid yellow line to pass or change lanes.

Not quite. The answer is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per crash

In Oregon, your vehicle liability insurance policy must include the following: (1) at least $25,000 in coverage for bodily injuries to one person in any one accident; (2) at least $50,000 in coverage for bodily injuries to two or more persons in any one accident; (3) at least $20,000 in coverage for property damage in any one accident; (4) at least $15,000 per person in personal injury protection; and (5) uninsured motorist coverage of at least $25,000 for bodily injuries to one person and $50,000 for bodily injuries to two or more persons.

Not quite. The answer is is harder to see than other vehicles.

Mopeds and motorcycles are smaller than most other vehicles, so they are harder to see. A moped or motorcycle can be hidden in your blind spot and easily missed.

Not quite. The answer is A four-way intersection ahead

This sign indicates that a four-way intersection is ahead. Drivers should be alert for cross traffic entering the roadway.
