Oregon teens ages 15-17 start with a provisional instruction permit, which they must hold for 6 months and pair with 100 hours of supervised practice (50 hours if they pass an approved driver ed course) before getting a provisional license. For the first 6 months licensed, they may not carry passengers under 20 outside their immediate family; for the second 6 months, no more than three such passengers. For the first year they also may not drive between midnight and 5 a.m., with limited exceptions for work, school events, or riding with a licensed driver 25 or older.
