Driving Test

A knowledge or skills test needed to acquire driving privileges. Multiple tests may be needed to obtain a specific driving privilege. e.g. to obtain a commercial license the applicant may need to take Knowledge, Vehicle Inspection, Basic Control Skills and/or Road tests.

A test can have information from the scheduling of a test, details recorded during the test and assessments based on how the test transpired.

For commercial driving privileges: States must record and retain the knowledge and skills test scores of tests taken by driver applicants. The test scores must either be made part of the driver history record or be linked to the driver history record in a separate file. (ref: 49 CFR 383.135).
