With even a momentary laps of concentration or judgment, people can die or be permanently injured. I’ve trained myself to remember that before I turn the ignition key every time I get into the driver’s seat. It helps to keep me focused and ever mindful of the consequences that may arise if I drive irresponsibly. I don’t ever want someone else’s death or injury on my conscience and I know how easily it can happen.

I wish you many, many years of safe motoring.

Excellent advice!

And yeah, in Oregon they won't ask you to do anything illegal (even says it in the driver's manual, along with some tips for test day.) They have the driver's handbooks in PDF format on the website, www.oregondmv.com and look for "manuals"
