Oklahoma Permit Practice Test

Correct answer: Your judgment

Alcohol moves quickly into your blood, and your driving skills — especially your judgment — are affected almost immediately. Alcohol puts good judgment on hold, so you do not know when you have had too much until it is too late.

Correct answer: All residents who operate a motor vehicle on any Oklahoma street or highway

The manual states that all residents who operate a motor vehicle on any Oklahoma street or highway must have an Oklahoma driver license.

Correct answer: An improperly parked car can roll, gain speed, destroy property or kill someone

Not all collisions are driving errors. An improperly parked car can roll, gain speed, destroy property or even kill someone, so securing your vehicle every time you leave it matters.

Correct answer: Not legally drive until your license is reinstated and restored

If your license is suspended or revoked, you cannot apply for a new license until you are reinstated and you cannot legally drive until your license is restored. Driving on a suspended or revoked license is a serious crime.

Correct answer: Control who can go forward and who must yield or wait where vehicles and pedestrians can’t all cross at once

Right-of-way laws control who can go forward and who must yield or wait in intersections and other places where vehicles and pedestrians can’t all cross at the same time. They apply to all people and all vehicles, including bicyclists.

Correct answer: 1000 feet

Dim your high-beam headlights to low beams within 1000 feet of an oncoming vehicle, and within 600 feet of a vehicle you are following.

Correct answer: Pedestrians have the right-of-way over most vehicles, whether the crosswalk is marked or not

Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right-of-way over most vehicles, whether the crosswalk is marked or not. As the person controlling a dangerous machine, it is your job to protect them.

Correct answer: The red octagon means you must come to a complete stop

A stop sign is a red octagon. Even if it is damaged or blocked by dirt or snow, the octagonal shape and red color tell you that you must come to a complete stop before the crosswalk and stay stopped until the way is clear.

Correct answer: That you drive at a speed that is safe for current conditions and can stop without hitting anyone

The Basic Speed Rule does not set an exact limit. It means the speed you may drive is limited by current conditions — you must consider all conditions, drive at a safe speed for them, and be able to stop without hitting anyone.

Correct answer: Traffic moves in opposite directions and passing is permitted when it’s safe

Yellow dashes mean traffic moves in opposite directions on each side of the line, and passing is permitted when it is safe. You should always drive to the right of the centerline except when passing safely.

Correct answer: A 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a shot of 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits all contain the same amount

It is not what you drink, it is how much. A 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a cocktail with 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits all contain the same amount of alcohol.

Correct answer: Apply for an Oklahoma Driver License when they establish residency

Drivers with an out-of-state license must apply for an Oklahoma Driver License when they establish residency. Once you establish residency, your vehicles must also be registered in Oklahoma.

Correct answer: Set the parking brake, put the gear in low, reverse or "park," turn off the motor and remove the key

Before you leave your vehicle, set the parking brake, put the gear in low, reverse or "park," turn off the motor, and lock the ignition and remove the key.

Correct answer: A legal document and the property of the state of Oklahoma

Your license is a legal document and the property of the state of Oklahoma. It is against the law to use it to misrepresent yourself in any way or to allow anyone else to use it.

Correct answer: As something to be given, not taken

The manual advises drivers to drive cautiously and defensively and to think of the right-of-way as something to be given, not taken. When others don’t follow the rules, you should yield even if the right-of-way is yours.

Correct answer: 600 feet

Dim your high beams to low beams within 600 feet of a vehicle you are following, so your bright lights do not blind the driver ahead through their mirrors.

Correct answer: Carrying a white or chrome cane or using a guide dog

Always yield to blind pedestrians carrying a white or chrome cane or using a guide dog. They rely on you to protect them.

Correct answer: Slow down, be ready to stop, and let oncoming vehicles pass before you enter the flow of traffic

A yield sign is a red and white triangle. It means slow down and be ready to stop if needed, letting oncoming vehicles pass before you cross or enter the flow of traffic.

Correct answer: Conditions such as rain, fog, or darkness make that speed unsafe

The Basic Speed Rule means the posted limit may still be too fast for conditions. For example, 65 mph may be too fast on a rainy night on a two-lane highway. If you can’t stop in time, you are breaking the Basic Speed Rule even within the posted limit.

Correct answer: Traffic moves in the same direction on each side and passing is permitted when safe

White dashes mean traffic moves in the same direction on each side of the line, and passing or changing lanes is permitted when it is safe.
