Oklahoma DPS Permit Practice Test 2024

Drivers in Oklahoma must stop and yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks. When approaching a crosswalk, use caution and watch both sides of the street for pedestrians. Pedestrians have both right and duties, and should not attempt to cross the road at any place other than a marked or unmarked crosswalk.

Flashing amber lights are used by school buses in Oklahoma and many other states to indicate that they are slowing down and preparing to stop. In Oklahoma, the amber lights will be activate at least 200 feet or 5-10 seconds before the bus will stop.

In Oklahoma, the driver and all front-seat passengers age 13 and older must wear a seatbelt. Violation of the seat belt law is a standard offense. In addition, the child passenger safety law also requires that all children wear an appropriate child restraint. What is appropriate depends on the size, height and weight of the child. For children over 8 and taller than 4 feet 9 inches, the appropriate restraint is a seat belt.

Motorists from both directions have to stop for a school bus loading or unloading passengers. School buses in Oklahoma use flashing red lights and/or a stop arm to indicate that the bus is stopped to load or unload school children. Do not proceed until the school bus has started driving again, the lights have stopped flashing, the stop arm has been retracted or the driver signals for motorists to proceed. A stop is not required when driving on an opposite roadway or when stopped in a loading zone by a controlled-access highway where crossing is prohibited for pedestrians.

Oklahoma has a point system to keep unsafe drivers off the roads. Failure to stop for a school bus loading or unloading children is a 4-point violation. Following improperly or too closely is a 2-point violation. Failure to yield right-of-way is a 2-point violation. Accumulating 10 or more points within any five-year period will cause your driver's license to be suspended. 2 points will be deducted for every year in which there are no pointable traffic violations.

Removing snow and ice will not only make it easier for you to see the road ahead. It will also make it easier for other road users to see you. While it can be beneficial to let your engine warm up before driving, it's unnecessary to let it warm up for 40 minutes. Checking your tire tread depth is important, but it is something you should do when driving in all weather conditions and not just snowy conditions.

Studded tires have studs embedded in the tread that provide added traction. They are permitted in Oklahoma between November 1 to April 1.

The added weight of the trailer to your vehicle can drastically increase the distance needed to come to a full stop. For this reason, most states have laws regarding independent braking on trailers over a certain gross vehicle weight (GVW). In Oklahoma, the gross weight limit is 3,000 lbs.

The maximum speed limit on county roads in Oklahoma is 55 mph unless otherwise posted. Under state law, cities and towns can set their own speed limits, which means speed limits may change according to the zones.

The move-over-law in Oklahoma is designed to protect emergency personnel and workers. If approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing lights, you must vacate the lane closest to the stopped vehicle. If changing lanes is unsafe or not possible, you must slow down to a safe and prudent speed for the conditions. This law also applies towreckers, road maintenance vehicles and any stationary vehicle displaying hazard lights.

When exiting a freeway or interstate, you may cause a rear-end collision if you begin slowing down too early as other drivers may not expect it. Wait until after entering the deceleration lane before slowing down.

Make sure your mirrors are correctly adjusted and clean. Otherwise, you won’t be able to scan properly.

Car A is making a left turn and in the incorrect lane for the turn. When turning left at a roundabout, enter in the left lane and keep close to the central island.

This is a ‘NO BICYCLES’ sign. It prohibits bicyclists from entering the road ahead.

Trucks lose momentum when driving uphill. Slow down and increase the following distance.

The air conditioner needs energy to work, and it can greatly impact the fuel consumption. Depending on your car, the air conditioner can increase fuel consumption by up to 20%. So use it wisely!

You must always come to a complete stop when facing a stop sign even if there's no other traffic in sight. If there's a '4-way-stop' or 'ALL WAY' complementary sign, it means that traffic from all directions face a STOP sign and must come to a complete stop. In such a situation, the first vehcile to arrive should be first to proceed."

Braking in a curve may cause your vehicle to skid. This can be avoided by slowing down beforehand.

Don't remove a motorcyclist’s helmet unless it's essential, as it may worsen spinal/neck injuries.

A ‘pulsating’ or ‘twitching’ feeling means that the ABS-system is working! Do NOT remove the pressure as doing so will disengage the ABS.
