DMV Permit Test #17
FREE Oregon DMV Practice Test #17 Page 4 of 5
The practise exams for the Oregon DMV have been updated for January 2025. It includes questions based on the most important traffic signals and regulations for 2025 from the Oregon Driver Handbook. To study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam, use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
Each question on the practise exam has a tip and explanation to help you recall the ideas. Questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as knowledge from the Driver Handbook, will be included in the written portion of the official Oregon DMV test.
You must properly answer 28 of the 35 questions to receive a passing mark. Use the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles' practise exam to help you prepare for your instruction permit or driver's licence.
The DMV exam is offered in a variety of languages.
Using any form of testing help will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take further action against your driver's licence, so avoid it.

Your blood alcohol content (BAC) depends on how much alcohol you drink, how much time passes between drinks, and your weight. Eating before or while you drink helps slow the absorption of alcohol somewhat, but it cannot prevent intoxication or impairment if you have too much to drink.

A speed limit is the maximum or minimum legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions. You may drive more slowly than the posted speed, but it is illegal to drive any faster.

If conditions such as road construction or bad weather make the posted speed unsafe, drive under the speed limit.
26 . Drivers who have consumed alcohol before getting behind the wheel:
Have quicker reaction times.
Alcohol is a depressant that negatively affects judgment, vision, concentration, understanding of reality, and reaction time. It is never safe to consume alcohol in any amount before getting behind the wheel of a car.
