Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Oregon DMV Online Manual (oregon.gov/odot/DMV — Driver Manual chapters on speed limits, signals/right-of-way, safe driving practices, DUII, distracted driving, move-over law, and child passenger safety) and the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 811.140 reckless driving, ORS 811.483 safety corridors, ORS 813.010 DUII, ORS 811.507 mobile device use, ORS 811.147 move-over law, ORS 811.210 child passenger safety, ORS 807.065 supervised-hours requirement) — researched and verified 2026-08-19. Exam format is fully confirmed (not an estimate): the Oregon DMV knowledge test is 35 questions with an 80% passing score (28 correct), confirmed directly on two independent official DMV pages, and signs are explicitly not a separate gated section — modeled here as a single unified Knowledge Test (signCount: 0). The 'points' category models Oregon's actual conviction/preventable-accident count system (the Driver Improvement Program) rather than a numeric point-value table, since Oregon does not assign point values to violations the way many other states do. Two gaps were deliberately excluded rather than invented: (1) no specific work-zone speed-reduction mph figure — only that ORS 811.230 sets an enhanced minimum fine (20% of the maximum fine for misdemeanors) in work zones, with no confirmed numeric speed figure; and (2) no specific ORS citation for the under-21 zero-tolerance BAC rule — the zero-tolerance policy itself is confirmed, but the exact statute number was not. Re-verify periodically, as DMV manual content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
