Question 1 of 30
1. How many questions are on the official Oklahoma Written Knowledge Test (also called the Oklahoma Written Exam)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. The SOK publishes a 20-question Written Knowledge Test (also called the Oklahoma Written Exam) in Oklahoma. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 20. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
2. A work zone is posted 45 mph with workers on foot beside the cones. Why should you treat that number as a hard ceiling?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Work-zone limits protect people standing inches from traffic, and many states double the fine. Slow to the posted number before the first cone. Orange zone, orange alert: the speed is real and the penalty is steeper.
3. Can prescription or over-the-counter medicine make driving illegal, according to NHTSA?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Official NHTSA drug-impaired-driving guidance says it’s illegal everywhere in America to drive under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, opioids, methamphetamines, or any potentially impairing drug–prescribed or over the counter.
4. You reach a stop sign at an intersection that has a painted stop line. Where must you bring your vehicle to a complete stop?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. At a stop sign you must stop completely before the stop line; with no line, stop before the crosswalk or the intersection edge. Stopping short protects people in the crosswalk. If you need a better view, creep forward only after the full stop.
5. An 18-year-old in Oklahoma has one beer at a graduation party and then drives. At what BAC could this driver already be violating the zero-tolerance law?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. One beer can push a young driver to any detectable amount, the level where Oklahoma's zero-tolerance law kicks in. The rule protects new drivers, whose crash risk rises quickly with alcohol. Skip every drink if you plan to drive.
6. While planning a road trip across Oklahoma, you look up the fastest speed any of its highways allow. What is that statewide maximum?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Oklahoma's top speed limit is 80 mph, found only on its fastest designated highways. Expect lower posted limits on most stretches, and remember signs control: the maximum applies only where a sign actually posts it.
7. You are turning left at an intersection on a green light while an oncoming car heads straight toward the intersection. What is the rule?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. A driver turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles going straight or turning right, crossing only when there is a safe gap. Straight traffic keeps its speed and path, so the turning driver waits. Left turn equals lower priority.
8. Wide white stripes cross the pavement ahead, marking a crosswalk. What do these markings require of you as a driver?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Crosswalk stripes show where pedestrians are expected to cross, and drivers must yield to people within them. You stop only when someone is crossing or a sign or signal requires it. Painted stripes mean feet ahead.
9. When a vehicle with flashing lights is stopped on or next to a roadway, what does official NHTSA Move Over guidance say drivers should do?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Official NHTSA Move Over guidance says all 50 states have Move Over laws. When a vehicle with flashing lights is stopped on or next to a roadway, drivers approaching the vehicle should change into a lane not immediately adjacent to the vehicle, or slow down to a reasonable speed if you’re unable to safely make a lane change.
10. Drivers under 21 in Oklahoma are held to a stricter alcohol standard than adults. What is the BAC threshold for these younger drivers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Adults have a higher per-se number, but the under-21 standard in Oklahoma is any detectable amount. Alcohol is already off-limits for minors, so the driving rule matches: for young drivers, the practical limit is zero drinks.
11. In Oklahoma, what is the youngest age at which you can apply for a learner's permit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Oklahoma issues learner's permits starting at age 15. The permit opens the first stage of graduated licensing, where you build skills with a supervising adult before earning fuller privileges. Know your state's number; it varies nationwide.
12. You are parking near railroad tracks. What distance do most state manuals require from the nearest rail?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Fifty feet from the nearest rail is the usual keep-clear distance so trains and crossing gates have room and drivers can see. Do not park on or immediately beside the tracks. Fifty for rails, thirty for signs, twenty for walks, fifteen for hydrants.
13. If a state legalizes marijuana possession, may you drive under the influence of the drug?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Official NHTSA drug-impaired-driving guidance says Even in states where marijuana laws have changed, it is still illegal to drive under the influence of the drug. Driving impaired by any substance is against the law in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
14. A tire blows out at highway speed. What should you do first?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. A blowout pulls the car; your job is to keep it pointed straight while speed drops. Hard braking can spin you. Once you are slow and under control, signal and move off the pavement. Hold, ease, then brake.
15. A classmate in Oklahoma claims the adult DUI line is 0.10%. The official per-se BAC for drivers 21 and older is which value?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Your classmate is using an outdated number. Oklahoma treats 0.08% as the adult per-se line. Memorize the current figure from the official handbook, not a rumor from an older relative.
16. A person with a white cane is about to cross the street ahead of you. What must you do?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. A white cane or guide dog marks a pedestrian who is blind, and that person has the right-of-way every time. Stop if needed and do not honk, which can confuse them. White cane means your brakes, not your horn.
17. Signs on Oklahoma highways vary from road to road, but the law sets one absolute top limit for the fastest routes. That limit is which value?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. By statute, 80 mph is the fastest any Oklahoma road can be posted. Below that ceiling, engineers set each road's limit for its design and traffic, which is why the posted sign on your road governs.
18. May you drive unsupervised on a learner’s permit, according to NHTSA?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Official NHTSA GDL guidance says A learner’s permit allows driving only while supervised by a fully licensed driver. GDL reduces the amount of unsupervised driving by 16-year-olds. The leftover empty-road exception is not on that page.
19. Besides 100 feet, what other Oklahoma signaling rule does the manual give for a turn, slow, or stop?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Oklahoma says it is illegal to turn without signaling and that you should signal for at least 100 feet or one-third of a block before you turn, slow down, or stop. The one-third-of-a-block hook is the city-street version of the 100-foot rule.
20. Unless otherwise posted, what is the speed limit on a highway inside an Oklahoma state park or wildlife refuge?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Oklahoma's default limit on highways through state parks and wildlife refuges is 35 mph. Pedestrians, campers, and wildlife share those roads, so the ceiling drops sharply. Picture it: parks and refuges mean thirty-five.
21. Several vehicles reach a four-way stop at different times. Who has the right-of-way?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. At an all-way stop, the vehicle that arrives and stops first proceeds first, with others following in arrival order. This first-come, first-served system prevents confusion. Think of it as taking a number at a busy counter.
22. You are driving on an unposted county road in Oklahoma. What is the fastest you may legally drive?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Unless a different limit is posted, Oklahoma caps county roads at 55 mph. They are narrower, less forgiving, and busier with farm and local traffic than highways. Memory hook: county roads keep you at double fives.
23. You have been driving through a no-passing zone. Which sign tells you the zone has ended and passing is allowed again when safe?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. A white regulatory sign reading PASS WITH CARE marks the end of a no-passing zone. You may pass again, but only when the road ahead is clear. The word CARE reminds you the choice is still yours to judge.
24. A yellow diamond sign shows two arrows curving apart around an oval island. What is this sign telling you about the road ahead?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. The divided highway begins sign means opposing traffic will soon be separated by a median or barrier. Stay right of the divider and do not cross it. Picture the two arrows as lanes splitting around an island you must not enter.
25. You are approaching an intersection and the traffic light turns steady red. What must you do?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. A steady red light requires a full stop before the stop line or crosswalk, or before entering the intersection if there is no line. Stopping at the line protects people crossing. Remember: red means stop, every time.
26. A yellow diamond shows a sideways wind-sock or windswept tree. What risk is ahead?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Crosswind warnings mark bridges, cuts, and open plains where gusts shove vans, trucks, and empty trailers. Ease off the gas and keep both hands on the wheel. If you drive something tall, treat the sign as a speed cut.
27. What does official NHTSA Move Over guidance tell you to do when flashing lights are stopped on the shoulder?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Official NHTSA Move Over guidance says All states require drivers to move over and slow down for emergency vehicles with flashing lights. Drivers approaching the vehicle should change into a lane not immediately adjacent to the vehicle, or slow down to a reasonable speed if you’re unable to safely make a lane change.
28. How far from a stop sign or traffic signal should you stay when you park, unless signs say otherwise?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Thirty feet from a stop sign or signal keeps the sign visible and the corner open for turning vehicles. Parking closer creates a blind box. Testers bundle this with 15 / 20 / 50 as the parking-distance set.
29. Your younger sibling asks when they can get a learner's permit in Oklahoma. What age do you tell them?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Tell them 15; that is when Oklahoma allows a learner's permit application. Until then, driving on public roads is off the table. Graduated licensing phases in privileges so new drivers gain experience under lower-risk conditions.
30. In Oklahoma, a driver who is 21 or older commits a per-se drunk-driving offense once their blood alcohol concentration reaches which level?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. 'Per se' means the number alone proves the offense. In Oklahoma, that number is 0.08%. No other proof of bad driving is needed at that level, and alcohol can still impair you below it.
