Oklahoma Driving Test Routes (OK)

No, in fact you can use your backup camera, but you must not rely on it.

Be sure to demonstrate proper observational techniques such as looking over your shoulder and checking your mirrors when reversing.

Yes, unlike some other states parallel parking is a required maneuver on the Oklahoma driving test. This may be carried out on the road or in a parking lot with cones depending on your chosen Test Center.

You'll need to bring along your learner's permit, some proof of identity (such as a birth certificate), your Social Security card, proof of enrollment or completion of a driver's education course (if under 16½), and a suitable vehicle with valid registration and insurance.

Yes, certain mistakes are considered serious enough to result in immediate failure:

• Being involved in an accident causing injury or property damage.

• Refusing to perform a driving maneuver.

• Driving dangerously, causing others to prevent an accident.

• Hitting a sidewalk or curb.

• Creating a serious traffic hazard.

• Running a red light or stop sign.

Visit the Service Oklahoma website, or contact an approved third-party testing center to schedule your test. It's a good idea to try and book at least three to four weeks in advance.

If you don't pass, try not to worry. You can retake, but you will need to wait at least one more day.

After three failed attempts, you will need to wait 30 days before trying again, during which time you can practice any areas of concern.

Yes, you must move to the right lane after turning left unless directed otherwise. Staying in the left lane without a valid reason can result in point deductions.

The test involves :

1. parallel parking

2. quick stops

3. backing up

4. proper signaling and turning

5. passing and following

6. observing right-of-way rules

7. responding to traffic signs

8. maintaining control of the vehicle

The vehicle used for the test must be in good working condition, with current registration and insurance.

It should have a windshield free of cracks or debris, properly inflated tires, doors that work properly, and functioning lights, horn, and rear-view mirror.

Many learners report that smaller or rural testing centers... like those in towns outside the OKC or Tulsa metro, tend to have lighter traffic and less stressful driving conditions.

While the scoring criteria is the same across the state, the local road layout can affect your experience and choosing a quieter location might help build confidence.

Some third-party examiners may include short highway sections, especially in suburban or rural areas, so it's a good idea to practice your lane-merging, changes, and speed control just in case.
