Review 5 · Practice requirements
How does an approved driver-education course change Oregon's supervised-practice requirement for a first provisional license?

Review 6 · Practice supervision

Review 7 · Teen passengers
A 16-year-old has held an Oregon provisional license for two months and drives without a parent, guardian or course instructor. May an unrelated 19-year-old friend ride along?

During the first six months, the provisional driver may not carry a passenger under 20 who is not immediate family, unless a listed supervised-driving exception applies.

Correct answer: At age 18 or after one year with the provisional license, whichever comes sooner.
Both limits drop away at age 18 or after a year with the provisional license, whichever happens first. The ban on phone use for drivers under 18 is based only on age and stays until the 18th birthday.

Review 14 · Teen distraction
A 17-year-old Oregon driver wants to make a routine call using a hands-free phone accessory. There is no emergency. Does hands-free operation make it lawful?
Correct answer: No; the under-18 rule also prohibits hands-free use.
The ordinary under-18 mobile-device restriction includes hands-free use. Ending the first-year passenger limits does not create an adult phone exception.

An adult applying for a first Oregon license plans to practice on public roads before the drive test. What is required even though the adult may choose a direct-testing route?
