Free Oregon DMV Permit Practice Test 2026

Oregon requires headlights from sunset to sunrise and whenever windshield wipers are in use due to rain, snow, or fog. All vehicles must have working brake lights, turn signals, and a white rear license plate light visible from 50 feet. Tires must have at least 2/32 inch of tread depth - a penny held upside down in the tread groove should not show the top of Lincoln's head.

At an uncontrolled intersection, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. When two vehicles arrive at a four-way stop simultaneously, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. A left-turning vehicle must always yield to oncoming traffic going straight, even if the turning driver arrived at the intersection first.

A solid yellow center line means no passing. A broken yellow line on your side of the road means passing is permitted when it is safe to do so. Double solid yellow lines indicate that passing is prohibited in both directions, and crossing them is illegal under any circumstance except to turn into a driveway.

A solid red arrow means you must stop and cannot proceed in the direction of the arrow, even after stopping - unlike a circular red light where right turns are sometimes permitted. A flashing red light must be treated exactly like a stop sign: come to a complete stop, then yield before proceeding. A yellow light means the signal is about to turn red, not that you should accelerate.

When turning right, yield to pedestrians crossing the street you are entering before completing the turn. When turning left onto a multi-lane road, you must turn into the left lane closest to the center line, not any lane you choose. U-turns are prohibited where a sign prohibits them, at railroad crossings, and on curves or hills where oncoming traffic cannot see you from at least 500 feet away.
