Your vehicle has to pass a safety check before Oregon's drive test. Which of these is on the required list?
-
A.
Tinted front windows to cut glare.
-
B.
A first aid kit stored within reach.
-
C.
A spare tire and a working jack.
-
D.
A passenger door handle that works inside and out. Correct
The answer is "A passenger door handle that works inside and out."
DMV checks the vehicle before the drive test, and the list includes working turn signals front and back, brake lights, a horn, a passenger door that opens and closes by its handle from inside and outside, a secure and reasonably clean passenger seat, seatbelts, tires that are not bald or damaged, and a muffler without excessive leaks or noise. Registration, proof of insurance, mirrors, an unobstructed view, and weather-dependent equipment are checked too. A driver reaching for general emergency-preparedness habits picks B, a first aid kit, but nothing like it appears on the DMV list.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Tinted front windows to cut glare.
Tint is not required, and anything that blocks the view out is a problem rather than a requirement. This answer inverts the rule about obstructed windows.
B. A first aid kit stored within reach.
No first aid kit is on the list. This answer borrows from general emergency-preparedness advice.
C. A spare tire and a working jack.
The check covers the tires on the car, not what you carry for a flat. This answer adds equipment the list does not ask for.
