OREGON DMV TOPICS

Your Oregon DMV Test, Broken Down by Topic

Know exactly what to study before test day. Explore 6 essential Oregon DMV topics, with clear explanations, key rules, helpful tips, and targeted practice questions for each one.

Learn what matters. Practice with purpose. Walk into the DMV prepared.

Topic 01

Right-of-Way & Intersections

Exam Difficulty:Medium

Understanding who has the right-of-way is one of the most heavily tested areas on the Oregon DMV exam. Most failures occur here.

Must-Know OR Tip: Mountain Road Yield Rule

When two vehicles meet on a steep single-lane mountain road where they cannot pass, the vehicle facing downhill must yield by backing up until the vehicle going uphill can pass safely.

Core Rules & Tested Concepts

At intersections without signs, yield to the vehicle on your right if it arrives at the same time.
At T-intersections, vehicles on the terminating road must yield to vehicles on the through road.
When making a left turn, you must yield to oncoming vehicles close enough to be a hazard.

Test your knowledge with specialized questions.Practice Right-of-Way rules

Topic 02

Speed Limits, Fines & Limits

Exam Difficulty:Hard

Oregon has strict default speed limits and penalty structures that you must memorize. Memorizing the exact numbers is key.

Must-Know OR Tip: School, Residential & Business Zones

Unless posted otherwise, the speed limit is 25 mph in school zones, business districts, and residential areas. The limit is 15 mph in blind intersections, alleys, and near railroad crossings.

Core Rules & Tested Concepts

Speed limits are halved or specifically restricted in active school zones when children are present.
Fines for speeding and other moving violations are doubled in active highway construction zones.
Passing speed limit near streetcars, trolleys, or buses when safe is no more than 10 mph.

Test your knowledge with specialized questions.Practice Fines & Speed Limits

Topic 03

Road Signs & Lane Markings

Exam Difficulty:Easy

Oregon uses standard signs with state-specific variations. Focus on regulatory sign shapes and double solid yellow line rules.

Must-Know OR Tip: Double Solid Yellow Lines

A double solid yellow line means no passing. You may cross them only to make a left turn into a driveway, a private road, or to make an authorized U-turn.

Core Rules & Tested Concepts

A diamond-shaped sign indicates a warning, notifying you of upcoming road conditions.
A red and white triangular sign pointing down always means Yield to oncoming traffic.
Two sets of double solid yellow lines spaced 2 feet or more apart are considered a barrier—do not drive over them.

Test your knowledge with specialized questions.View Road Warning Signs Guide

Topic 04

DUI Laws & Distracted Driving

Exam Difficulty:Hard

Covers blood alcohol limits, chemical test refusal rules, under-18 device usage, and general driving impairment laws.

Must-Know OR Tip: Zero Tolerance for Under-18 Devices

Drivers under 18 cannot use any phone or wireless device while driving—even if it is equipped with a hands-free setup. Handheld devices are illegal for all drivers.

Core Rules & Tested Concepts

The legal BAC limit is 0.08% for drivers 21+, but is 0.01% if you are under 21 or on DUI probation.
Under the "Implied Consent" law, driving in OR means you agree to chemical testing; refusal results in suspension.
A first DUI conviction can result in up to 6 months in jail, a license suspension, and severe fines.

Test your knowledge with specialized questions.Practice Distracted Driving rules

Topic 05

Parking, Curb Colors & Emergencies

Exam Difficulty:Medium

Frequently tested and heavily missed rules. Focus on hill parking wheel placement and different colored curb rules.

Must-Know OR Tip: Uphill vs. Downhill Parking Wheels

When parking downhill, turn your wheels toward the curb. When parking uphill with a curb, turn wheels away (left) from the curb. If uphill without a curb, turn wheels right.

Core Rules & Tested Concepts

Curb Colors: Red means no stopping; Green means limited-time parking; White means passenger loading only.
Yellow curbs are for commercial loading/unloading; Blue curbs are reserved exclusively for disabled parkers.
In an emergency, if your vehicle stalls on a railroad track, run at a 45-degree angle toward the oncoming train.

Test your knowledge with specialized questions.Practice Parking rules

Topic 06

Sharing the Road & Safety

Exam Difficulty:Easy

Sharing lanes safely with pedestrians, emergency vehicles, large semi-trucks, and bicyclists.

Must-Know OR Tip: Three-Foot Bicyclist Passing Law

Under Oregon's Three-Foot Safety Act, you must allow at least 3 feet of space when passing a bicyclist in the same direction. If 3 feet is not possible, slow down and wait.

Core Rules & Tested Concepts

You must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm, unless it is on a divided highway.
Yield to emergency vehicles with sirens or lights by pulling to the right edge of the road and stopping.
Do not linger in a large truck's blind spots—known as the "No-Zone" (front, sides, and directly behind).

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Quick answers to the most common questions about the Oregon DMV test

How many questions are on the Oregon DMV permit test, and what is the passing score?

The Oregon DMV written knowledge exam consists of 35 multiple-choice questions based directly on the official Oregon Driver Manual. You must answer at least 28 questions correctly to achieve an 80% passing score. You can miss up to 7 questions; missing 8 results in a fail. The test is administered on computer touchscreens at state DMV field offices.

What is the minimum age to get an Oregon instruction permit?

In Oregon, you can apply for an Instruction Permit at 15 years old (under ORS 807.280). Applicants under 18 must bring a parent or legal guardian to sign parental consent, pass a vision screening (minimum 20/40 acuity), provide proof of identity, and provide proofs of Oregon residency.

Who is legally qualified to supervise a permit driver in Oregon?

Under Oregon law, an instruction permit driver must be accompanied in the front passenger seat by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and has been licensed for at least 3 years. The permit is valid for 24 months.

How long must you hold an Oregon instruction permit before taking the drive test?

Oregon requires teen drivers to hold their instruction permit for at least 6 months (180 days) before scheduling their behind-the-wheel drive test for a Provisional Driver License at age 16.

How many supervised practice driving hours does Oregon require?

To qualify for a Provisional License, Oregon teens must either: 1) complete an ODOT-approved Driver Education course and log 50 hours of supervised driving practice, OR 2) log 100 hours of supervised practice if not completing driver education, certified by a parent or guardian.

What passenger and night curfew rules apply to Oregon Provisional License holders?

Under ORS 807.122, 16- and 17-year-old provisional drivers face strict rules during their first year:

First 6 Months: Prohibited from carrying any passenger under age 20 who is not an immediate family member.
Second 6 Months: May carry no more than THREE passengers under age 20 who are not immediate family.
Night Curfew (Full Year): Prohibited from driving between midnight (12:00 a.m.) and 5:00 a.m. (unless driving to/from work, school activities, or with an adult 25+).
Device Ban: Complete ban on using mobile electronic devices (including hands-free) for drivers under 18.

What is Oregon’s "Basic Rule" speed law?

Under ORS 811.100, Oregon’s Basic Rule states that you must drive at a speed that is reasonable and prudent for existing road, traffic, and weather conditions, regardless of the posted speed limit. Driving at the posted speed limit can still be considered illegal speeding if road conditions are hazardous due to rain, ice, fog, or heavy congestion.

What is Oregon’s strict pedestrian crosswalk safety law?

Under ORS 811.028, Oregon law considers every intersection a legal crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked. Motorists must stop and remain stopped for a pedestrian until the pedestrian has completely cleared the driver’s lane plus the entire adjacent lane. When turning at a traffic signal, drivers must wait until the pedestrian is 6 feet past the turning lane.

What are Oregon’s legal parking distance rules?

Under ORS 811.550, the Oregon Driver Manual specifies the following parking clearances:

Within 10 feet of a fire hydrant (Oregon requires 10 feet).
Within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection.
Within 50 feet of a stop sign, yield sign, or traffic control signal.
Within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing.
Within 15 feet of a fire station driveway entrance (or 75 feet across the street).
When parallel parked, wheels must be within 12 inches of the roadside curb.

What are Oregon’s Absolute Zero Tolerance DUII laws for drivers under 21?

In Oregon, impaired driving is charged as Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII). Under ORS 813.300, Oregon enforces an Absolute Zero Tolerance (0.00% BAC) standard for drivers under 21—any measurable trace of alcohol or drugs results in an immediate 1-year license suspension. The legal limit for adults 21+ is 0.08%. Under Implied Consent, refusing a chemical breath/blood/urine test triggers a mandatory 1-year license suspension.
