Note
Any adult who has held a Learner Permit for 30 days and completed a Driver Education course from a public, private, or a commercial driver education school, is also eligible to take the drive test from a certified designated examiner for a fee of $25.00.

The drive test will not be conducted when roads are considered by the examiner to be slick or hazardous.
You can re-take the drive test up to three times, each time at least one day apart or as instructed by the examiner.
If you fail the third drive test, you will have to wait 30 days before taking the test a fourth time.
The fourth attempt and any thereafter should be taken no more than one time every 30 days.
*The 30 days starts from the last drive test date.
You can drive between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. and must be accompanied by a licensed driver at least 21 years old.
