Driving test
A driving test (also known as a driving exam) is a procedure designed to test a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. It exists in various forms worldwide, and is often a requirement to pass the exam to obtain a driver's license. A driving test generally consists of one or two parts; the practical test, called a road test, used to assess a person's driving ability under normal operating conditions,[1] and/or a written or oral test (theory test) to confirm a person's knowledge of driving and relevant rules and laws. In some countries, a maneuverability test is included with the practical test, which may include driving forward and backward through a set of traffic cones in a controlled environment[2] or driving on the open, public road.
In most U.S. states, the DMV offices do not provide vehicles for the road test, so the person taking the test must provide their own vehicle. Before they may use the vehicle for the test, they must show proof of liability insurance to the DMV for the particular vehicle to avoid liability from a collision that could occur during the test.
