OR DMV OR DMV Special Driving Conditions Questions and Answers 3

Question 1

In Oregon, when driving near large trucks, you should avoid:

Accepted Answer

Driving in the truck's no-zones (blind spots) directly behind, beside, or just in front

Answer

Large trucks have significant blind spots on all four sides; staying out of these no-zones prevents collisions the truck driver cannot avoid.

Question 2

When driving on a two-lane highway at night in Oregon and a vehicle approaches with high beams on, you should:

Accepted Answer

Look toward the right edge of the road to guide you

Answer

Looking toward the right edge of the road avoids the glare of oncoming high beams and keeps you from drifting into the oncoming lane.

Question 3

In Oregon, what should you do when approaching a flooded roadway with a 'Road Closed' barricade?

Accepted Answer

Turn around and find an alternate route

Answer

Barricades indicate the road is unsafe; driving around them is illegal and dangerous since flood depths are deceptive.

Question 4

When driving through a tunnel in Oregon, you should:

Accepted Answer

Turn on headlights and maintain steady speed

Answer

Oregon law requires headlights in tunnels; they help others see your vehicle and aid your own visibility at the darker ends.

Question 5

In Oregon, when do you have to carry tire chains or traction devices on mountain passes?

Accepted Answer

Whenever ODOT's 'Traction Tires Required' or 'Chains Required' signs are posted

Answer

ODOT activates traction device requirements based on actual road conditions, and you must comply when the signs are posted.
