Free Oregon DMV Test Simulator 2026
This DMV Test Simulator is modeled on the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) written knowledge exam, which has 35 questions; to pass you need 28 of 35 correct (80%). It is a mock test: 35 questions, the length of the real test, scored to the 80% pass mark. Answers are marked only when you submit the whole test, then you review every question with its explanation. Every question includes an explanation, so you learn the rule behind each answer - not just whether you got it right.

Sample questions from this test, with answers
Want to test yourself first? Take the test above before reading these. Every answer below is checked against the source shown.
1. Your disabled car on the shoulder cannot be seen from 200 feet away. Where should flares, flags or signs be placed?
- A. At least 100 feet behind the car only
- B. At least 50 feet away in each direction
- C. Right beside the rear bumper
- D. At least 200 feet away in each direction (correct)

2. In Oregon, after stopping at a steady red light, you may turn left when you are:
- A. Entering a two-way road from a one-way
- B. Entering a one-way road with its flow (correct)
- C. Facing no traffic from the left side
- D. Leaving a two-way road onto a two-way
Why: On red, after a full stop, you may turn left onto a one-way road going in the direction of its traffic. A left turn onto a two-way road against a red light is illegal.

3. A flagger in a work zone turns the paddle so the word SLOW faces you. What should you do?
- A. Stop until the flagger waves you on
- B. Proceed slowly and watch for workers (correct)
- C. Keep your speed - you have the right of way
- D. Speed up to clear the work zone quickly
Why: Flaggers use STOP/SLOW paddles to control traffic. SLOW means you may move ahead at a reduced speed with care; STOP means stop.

4. When you parallel park next to a curb, where should your car end up?
- A. About three feet from the curb so passengers can get out
- B. Parallel to the curb and as close as practical (correct)
- C. Angled with the back wheel touching the curb
- D. With front wheels turned in toward the curb
Why: Park parallel to and close to the curb. States set different maximum distances - for example 18 inches in California and Texas, 12 inches in Florida, Michigan and Washington, and 6 inches in New Jersey - so learn your state's limit.

5. When should you use your windshield wipers?
- A. Only once rain is heavy, to save the blades
- B. Whenever rain, snow or spray blurs your view (correct)
- C. Only when the car's rain sensor turns them on
- D. Only in rain, not for snow or road spray
Why: Use your wipers whenever precipitation or road spray reduces your view. Many states also require your headlights to be on whenever your wipers are in use because of weather.

6. What is the 'point of no return' when approaching a yellow light?
- A. The moment the light changes from green to yellow
- B. The stop line - once past it you must proceed
- C. The point where you can no longer stop safely (correct)
- D. Exactly 100 feet before the intersection
Why: The 'point of no return' is the position from which stopping safely (without running the light or causing a rear-end collision) becomes impossible. Before this point, slow and stop. After it, proceed through safely.
