Please read this before you start
your driving test . . .
The test you are about to take is perhaps the most important part of your
Class C driver license examination.
You do not have to score a perfect 100% to pass. We know you're probably
a little nervous.
During the drive test your examiner will be an observer, not an advisor. Your
examiner will not talk or visit with you during the test, except to give you
instructions. Any discussion or questions about your skills or mistakes you
may make will be discussed after you return to the starting point. This way
you can keep your mind on your driving. Your examiner will not trick you.
You will not be asked to do anything against the law, nor will you be asked to
do anything that is not a part of driving in today's traffic. You may ask your
examiner to repeat any direction. If you have any questions about the test,
please ask before the test starts.
During the test, the examiner will make notes on the test score sheet. The
key items to be checked are listed inside. You may want to check them over
now. You have 100 points at the start of the test. Points will be taken off for
driving errors the examiner observes. Your examiner will explain your test
results to you when the test ends. The test has only one purpose - to help
make sure those who are licensed to drive know how to drive safely and
legally.
Your examiner will inspect your vehicle to ensure the vehicle equipment
needed during the drive test is safe, legal, and in working order. If your
vehicle is not properly licensed or does not have operable equipment or
safety belts, the test will be rescheduled.
Smoking is not allowed during the drive test. Properly adjust your mirrors.
Please turn off your electronic devices such as radio, cell phone, GPS,
etc. Photos during the drive are not allowed. No passengers or pets are
allowed in the vehicle during the drive test. Please remove any objects from
the dashboard, rearview mirror or emergency brake area that may obstruct
your vision or cause bodily harm if the vehicle stops abruptly or that may
hinder the operation of vehicle emergency equipment.
DMV appreciates your feedback. If you took your test
at a DMV office please complete a drive test survey.

IF YOUR SCORE WAS 76 OR BETTER . . . You have passed the
test. Bring your ID back into the office after passing the drive test. You
now join over three million licensed Oregon drivers who
share our streets and highways. We welcome you to the ranks of
licensed drivers and offer our hope that you will have a lifetime of
safe and pleasant driving. As you continue to drive, you will want
to improve the areas your examiner talked with you about and marked on
the inside of this folder.
Most new drivers start with a clean driving record - free of convictions or
collisions. We hope you will keep your record clean by driving to avoid traffic
convictions and collisions. One sure way to do this is to give your future
driving the same care and attention that you gave it today during your test.
IF YOUR SCORE WAS BELOW 76 . . . Your driving during the test
was carefully examined. Your final score means you need to improve your
driving and meet the minimum state standards before you get a Class C
license.
The examiner has talked to you about the areas you need to improve. In
addition, your examiner has marked these items and possibly others on the
inside of this folder to remind you which driving skills need improvement as
observed during the test. We suggest you keep this folder, talk it over with
the person helping you learn to drive and review the Oregon Driver Manual.
If you fail a drive test, you must wait to take another test until the next
business day.
We suggest you practice and improve your driving skills before attempting
your next drive test. You may also want to consider taking professional driving
lessons. This may provide you with more experience and better driving
skills to more safely operate your vehicle on your next test.
