Road Test Focus Areas
The road test emphasizes laws, procedures, and proper observation techniques. Many seniors struggle with these areas, leading to a high failure rate. If you don’t pass, your license may be downgraded to a beginner level, requiring you to drive with a fully licensed driver, which can be a challenging adjustment. Let us guide you through the process to ensure you understand the requirements and succeed on test day.
Re-Testing Requirements:
Ages 70+: You may be required to retest if you have a traffic violation or collision. This includes a vision and written test, followed by a 30-minute road test with an expressway portion. We can assist with the road test preparation.
Ages 80+: If instructed to take a road test after attending a Senior Group Education Session, the road test will be 20 minutes without an expressway portion.
