To obtain a driver’s license in Oregon, applicants must pass a vision test, a knowledge test consisting of 35 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws and road signs, and a drive (road) test unless you completed a driver’s education course within the past two years. If you are under 18, you must also complete a driver’s education course and hold an instruction permit for at least 6 months before applying for a provisional driver’s license.
Understanding the various aspects of driving theory provides the foundation for safe and responsible driving. You’ll find helpful information in the official Oregon driver manual (Oregon DMV Handbook (OR Driver's Manual) 2025), which every aspiring driver should read at least once.
