1. On a multi-lane Oklahoma road, changing lanes away from a stopped vehicle with flashing lights would be unsafe. What must the driver do instead?
Show answer
Answer A: Proceed with due caution and reduce speed to a safe speed for the conditions
When changing lanes is not possible or would be unsafe, Oklahoma's Move Over Law still requires the driver to proceed with due caution and reduce speed to a safe speed for the road, weather and traffic conditions.

2. At what distances must an Oklahoma driver dim high-beam headlights to low beams?
Show answer

3. Your passenger keeps leaning out to one side to see the road ahead. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Ask them to stay in line with you and look over your shoulder instead
Leaning out shifts the combined weight sideways and unsettles the machine, and a passenger can see far enough by looking past the rider's shoulder.
-
4. What extra limit applies in Oklahoma to a rider under 16 on a motorcycle or scooter of less than 150 cubic centimeters?
Show answer
Answer D: The rider may not exceed 35 mph and may not use a highway with a posted minimum speed
For machines under 150 cubic centimeters Oklahoma adds a 35 mph cap and bars the rider from highways that carry a posted minimum speed, such as interstates and turnpikes.
-
5. Can a motorcycle-only license holder under 16 in Oklahoma carry a passenger?
Show answer

The Oklahoma motorcycle-only restriction for riders under 16 bars carrying any passenger on the motorcycle or scooter.
-
6. When should you turn on your signal before a turn or a lane change?
Show answer
Answer C: Well before the maneuver, so other drivers have time to react
A signal is a warning to others, so it has to be given far enough ahead of the maneuver that drivers and pedestrians can adjust.
-
7. May you stop briefly across the sloped ramp that joins the sidewalk to the street at a corner?
Show answer
Answer B: No, that ramp must stay clear for people using wheelchairs
A curb ramp is the only way many people can get from the sidewalk to the crosswalk, so blocking it even briefly is prohibited.
-
8. How tight should the chin strap of a helmet be?
Show answer
Answer D: Snug under the jaw, tight enough that the helmet cannot be pulled off
A helmet only works if it stays on, so the strap must be fastened snugly under the jaw on every ride, including short ones.
-
9. As a general rule, how far should you travel along a center two-way left-turn lane before you turn?
Show answer
Answer C: Only a short distance, just enough to slow down and wait for a gap
The center lane is for making or preparing a left turn, so you enter it only shortly before the turn and never travel along it as a through lane; several states set a specific limit such as 200 or 300 feet.
-
10. You are approaching a yield sign on a ramp that joins a busy street. What does the sign require?
Show answer
Answer A: Slow down, be ready to stop, and let the other traffic go first
A yield sign means you must slow, be prepared to stop and give way to traffic on the road you are entering; a full stop is required only when traffic makes it necessary.
-
11. In most states, how far before a turn must your signal already be on in city traffic?
Show answer
Answer B: At least 100 feet, roughly the length of six or seven cars
Most states require the signal for at least 100 feet before a turn in city driving, which gives drivers behind you time to react before you slow; several require more at higher speeds.
-
12. What is the most common cause of rear-end collisions?
Show answer
Answer C: Following too closely to stop in time
A driver who leaves too little space has no room to perceive, react and brake when the vehicle ahead slows, which is why space management prevents rear-end crashes.
-
13. An emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder ahead with its lights flashing. What does the move over principle require?
Show answer
Answer D: Change lanes away from it, or slow down if you cannot
Move over laws ask you to give responders an empty lane, and where traffic or a two-lane road makes that impossible, you slow down instead.
-
14. During which hours may an Oklahoma rider under 16 operate under the motorcycle only restriction?
Show answer
Answer A: Between 4:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
The Oklahoma motorcycle only restriction limits riders under 16 to the hours between 4:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., and the restriction is lifted at age 16.
-
15. What does the last step of T-CLOCS, Stands, ask a rider to check?
Show answer
Answer D: That the stands are not bent and that their springs hold them up
A bent stand or a weak spring can let the stand fall while riding, so both the sidestand and the centerstand are checked for damage and spring tension.
-
16. To make a motorcycle lean into a turn at normal riding speed, the rider should:
Show answer
Answer C: Press forward on the handgrip on the side of the turn
This is countersteering: press left to lean left and go left, press right to lean right and go right.
-
17. A freeway sign shows a minimum speed limit. What does it require?
Show answer
Answer B: That you keep up with it unless conditions make that unsafe
A minimum speed limit keeps very slow vehicles off the highway, but weather, traffic or a mechanical problem may make a lower speed necessary and lawful.
-
18. What are the minimum liability insurance limits required of an Oklahoma driver or vehicle owner?
Show answer
Answer B: 25,000 dollars per person, 50,000 dollars per accident and 25,000 dollars property damage
Oklahoma compulsory liability insurance requires 25,000 dollars for injury or death of one person, 50,000 dollars for two or more persons and 25,000 dollars for property damage, all per accident.
-
19. You are involved in a collision, even a minor one. What is your first legal duty?
Show answer
Answer A: Stop at or near the scene without blocking traffic more than necessary
Every driver involved in a crash must stop at the scene, and leaving before meeting that duty is a serious offense. Move the vehicles only as far as needed to clear the traffic lanes.
-
20. On a street with parking along the curb, the shared lane marking is painted well out from the curb face. What does that placement tell a bicyclist?
Show answer
Answer C: To ride clear of the doors of parked cars
The marking is set at least eleven feet from the curb where parking is allowed so that riders are guided outside the reach of an opening door.
