Question about new license restrictions in Oregon?

Question

I want to know if this is just an urban legend or not. About half of the people at my high school say that the law was passed and now newly issued driver's licenses for minors. They claim the law has been changed to you must wait a year to drive friends. Other's say that isn't true and it's still 6 months. Deliever the answers Anonymous!

Answer 1

After you get your provisional driver license, your driving is restricted as follows:



First Six Months:

You can not drive with a passenger under age 20 who is not a member of your immediate family.

You can not drive between midnight and 5 am unless you are:

Driving between home and work;

Driving between home and a school event for which there is no other transportation available;

Driving for employment purposes; or

Accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 25 years old.



Second Six Months:

You can not drive with more than three (3) passengers who are under age 20 who are not members of your immediate family.

You can not drive between midnight and 5 am unless you are:

Driving between home and work;

Driving between home and a school event for which there is no other transportation available;

Driving for employment purposes; or

Accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 25 years old.

Passenger restrictions do not apply while driving with an instructor as part of a certified traffic safety education course or with a parent, stepparent, or legal guardian who has valid driving privileges.
