Oregon Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Marijuana

Marijuana impairment has contributed to many collisions in Oregon. You can be charged with DUII for driving while impaired by marijuana as well as by alcohol.

Correct answer: At least 6 months

If you are under 18 and applying for a driver license, you must have held an instruction permit for at least 6 months. Holding an out-of-state permit does count toward this requirement.

Correct answer: Set your parking brake

Always set your parking brake when parking on a hill. Leave a manual transmission in gear or an automatic in park, and turn your wheels so the vehicle will not roll into traffic if the brake fails.

Correct answer: Remain at the scene until police arrive

If a person is killed or unconscious, remain at the scene of the collision until police arrive.

Correct answer: Indicate your plan to exit using your right turn signal

To exit a roundabout, indicate your plan using your right turn signal, watch for pedestrians in the crosswalk, and be prepared to stop. Never stop while inside the roundabout.

Correct answer: Illegal

It is illegal to drive a vehicle at night or in bad weather with only the parking lights on. Use your headlights so others can see you.

Correct answer: Slow down and stay behind the bicycle until it is safe to pass

The same rules for passing other vehicles apply to bicycles. If you cannot pass safely, slow down and remain behind the bicycle until it is safe to pass.

Correct answer: Do not perform the action shown, such as the turn pictured

A red circle with a slash mark means do not make the movement shown — for example, No Left Turn, No Right Turn, or No U-Turn signs prohibit those turns.

Correct answer: Weather, visibility, the road surface, and nearby pedestrians and cyclists

To obey the Basic Rule, consider your speed in relation to other traffic, pedestrians, people riding bicycles, the surface and width of the road, intersection hazards, weather, visibility, and any other conditions that affect safety.

Correct answer: Separates lanes of traffic going in the same direction; crossing is permitted with caution

White markings separate lanes of traffic flowing in the same direction. A broken white line separates same-direction lanes, and crossing it is permitted with caution.

Correct answer: The most common drug involved when drivers are impaired

Alcohol is the most common drug involved when drivers are impaired, though marijuana and other drugs contribute to many crashes as well.

Correct answer: 100 hours, or 50 hours plus an ODOT-approved traffic safety education course

You must have 100 hours of supervised driving experience, or 50 hours plus an ODOT-approved traffic safety education (Driver Ed) course. DMV must receive proof of course completion.

Correct answer: Toward the curb

Parking downhill against a curb, turn your wheels toward the curb. If the brake fails, the curb stops the vehicle from rolling into traffic.

Correct answer: 72 hours

You must file a collision report, Form 735-32, within 72 hours when the reporting thresholds are met. A police report does not replace this requirement.

Correct answer: Keep moving and exit the roundabout, then pull over to the right

Never stop while inside the roundabout. Move through and exit the roundabout, then pull over to the right shoulder and allow the emergency vehicle to pass. Do not enter a roundabout when emergency vehicles are approaching.

Correct answer: Low-beam headlights

In fog, dust, smoke, or any low-visibility area, use low-beam headlights. Light from high beams reflects back and causes glare, making it harder to see ahead.

Correct answer: The same as a person riding a bicycle — you must yield to them

Operators of motorized wheelchairs, scooters, and personal assistive mobility devices may use bike lanes and paths, and you must yield to them as you would a person riding a bicycle.

Correct answer: Tell you what you must do, and are posted at or near where the requirement applies

Regulatory signs with black words or symbols on a white background tell you what to do. They are posted at or near where the requirement applies — such as Speed Limit, One Way, and Do Not Pass signs.

Correct answer: It is a recommendation, but police may enforce it through the Basic Rule law

Variable advisory speed signs are yellow and recommend a speed for conditions. They are not speed limits, but police may enforce them through the Basic Rule law. (Black-and-white variable speed limit signs are enforced like any other speed limit.)

Correct answer: You are not allowed to change lanes — stay in your lane

A double solid white line, usually accompanied by a sign, means you are not allowed to change lanes for a certain distance. Stay in your lane.
