When You Don’t Pass the Road Test
Upon completion of the driving test, the examiner will advise you of your errors, how to correct them, and what maneuvers you should practice to improve your driving skill. You should review the related material and/or practice the driving skills before returning.
Applicants who do not successfully pass the skills test on the first attempt or subsequent attempts are not
permitted to take the examination again on the same day. Applicants may be allowed to re-test after mandatory practice times as determined by their total score (number of errors) under the guidelines in Table 4.2. These guidelines are designed to encourage the applicant to thoroughly practice their driving
skills and cut down on repeat visits by applicants who are not yet prepared for the examination.
NOTE: The guidelines established above will also be applied to wait times between additional re-testing opportunities if applicant does not pass the examination on the second or subsequent attempts
