An Oklahoma license has restriction B for corrective lenses. What must the driver do?
Correct answer: Wear the required corrective lenses while driving.
Restriction B requires corrective lenses when driving. A restriction is a condition of the driving privilege, not optional advice.

An Oklahoma learner-permit holder makes a routine handheld phone call while driving. Is this allowed simply because an adult supervisor is beside them?
Correct answer: No; nonemergency handheld-device use can lead to suspension or cancellation of the permit.
The manual warns learner and intermediate drivers against handheld electronic-device use except the specified emergency purpose. Supervision does not erase that restriction.

An adult is riding in the front passenger seat of an ordinary Oklahoma car equipped with seat belts. Does having an airbag remove the seat-belt requirement?
Correct answer: No; the adult front passenger must still wear the seat belt.
Oklahoma requires the driver and front-seat passenger to use seat belts. An airbag does not replace the belt.

Your wipers no longer clear the windshield reliably. Rain is forecast. What should you do before relying on the car?
Correct answer: Repair the wipers so they work properly.
The manual requires working windshield wipers. Lighting and airflow cannot substitute for a clear windshield.

Before pulling away, what is the best time to position the seat and mirrors?
Correct answer: Before moving, so the controls are reachable and the rearward views are set.
Set up the driving position before the vehicle moves. Adjusting while entering traffic competes with the attention needed for a safe departure.

You are having difficulty staying alert during a long trip. What is the safer response?
Correct answer: Stop in a safe place and rest rather than continue driving tired.
Fatigue can affect vision and decision time. Temporary stimulation does not replace adequate rest or remove the need to stop driving when too tired.

You intend to turn right at a circular red light. No sign prohibits the turn. What must you do first?
Correct answer: Stop completely, then yield to pedestrians and conflicting traffic before turning if safe.
Oklahoma’s stated right-on-red exception requires a complete stop and yielding. Rolling through is not enough.

Your light turns green while a vehicle is still clearing your path through the intersection. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait until the vehicle has safely cleared before entering.
Check the actual intersection before moving. The green indication does not make an occupied path safe.

A left-turn arrow is flashing yellow while an oncoming car approaches. What is required?
Correct answer: Yield and turn only when the path is safely clear.
A flashing yellow arrow permits a yielding, unprotected turn. It is not the same as a green protected-turn arrow.

You approach a flashing red traffic light. What should you do?

Your approach has a flashing yellow traffic light. What is the appropriate response?
Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution while checking the intersection.
Flashing yellow calls for caution, not a guarantee of a clear path. It differs from flashing red’s full-stop instruction.

The crossing gate is down but you cannot see a train. May you drive around it?
Correct answer: No; stay stopped until the gate is raised, lights stop flashing and the tracks are clear.
A lowered gate is not optional merely because the train is out of view. Check all tracks before proceeding after the warnings end.

One train passes and begins to clear your view. Why should you keep checking the crossing instead of following it immediately?
Correct answer: Another train may be approaching on a different track or close behind.
A first train can hide another train. Wait for the warning devices to permit movement and verify that every track is clear.

Rain, poor visibility and a curve make the posted speed unsafe. What should you do?
Correct answer: Reduce speed for the actual conditions, even below the posted limit.
Posted limits are intended for ideal conditions. The manual calls for lower speeds for curves, poor weather, limited visibility and other hazards.

A slower vehicle is ahead near a hillcrest that hides oncoming traffic. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait for a place with a clear view and enough room for a safe, permitted pass.
An obstructed view can conceal a vehicle in the passing path. A slow vehicle ahead does not make a blind pass safe.

You have overtaken another car. What should you verify before moving back into its lane?

You are turning left from one one-way street onto another, with no markings authorizing additional turn lanes. Which starting lane follows the handbook’s rule?
