Oregon DMV asked ODOT Research Section to examine how other states retest adult drivers on driving practices and laws, including a review of state statutes and policies. The review concluded that no state requires all renewal applicants to take a knowledge test.

Abstract\u003Cbr>Persons renewing their Oregon driver license do not need to take a knowledge test. Oregon DMV requested that ODOT Research Section review the testing practices of other states to determine what alternative approaches are taken to retesting adult drivers for their knowledge of driving practices and laws. A review of state driving laws and policies was completed. No state requires all driver license renewal applicants to take a knowledge test. Fourteen states require a knowledge test or traffic sign recognition test when renewing the driver license if the driver meets certain criteria. States with requirements primarily use criteria that relates to the driving record and license status. Typically it is suspended and/or revoked drivers that must take the knowledge test. In some cases the age of the driver is a consideration.\u003Cbr>It was also found that few states provide information on new traffic laws and safe driving tips that will be clearly visible to the driver accessing information on the website about driver license renewal. |  |  |  |  |  |\n| 17.
