You can avoid this by studying your OK Drivers Manual, paying close attention during your basic driver’s education course and using the study materials and practice tests available to you for a good grasp of laws, rules and regulations in Oklahoma.

The test is administered by an approved road skills test administrator and you will be graded on a point system.
