DOL DRIVING TEST
(also called Road Test)
Must have passed your DOL Written Test to sign up for this test
Please take the time to review “What to Expect on My Drive Test”. This info was created by the State of WA DOL. There are a few YouTube videos and a list of requirements you will be tested on. This info is very valuable to help you get ready for the test! Here is the link: https://www.dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/driver-training-and-testing/what-expect-your-drive-test
The DOL Driving Test can be taken now or just before they are ready to apply for their license, or any time in between. It is up to you and your student to decide together when they are ready for their test. When making this decision, please keep the following timelines in mind:
1) The DOL Written Test score is valid for 2 years. If the license is not obtained within 2 years of passing this test, it will need to be taken again.
2) The DOL Driving Test score is valid for 1 year. If the license is not obtained within 1 year of passing this test, it will need to be taken again.
One attempt at this test is included in your course. (Your one included attempt does not expire.)
You can use your own car or a school car for this test. Our school car is always available, you do not need to request it. If you use your own car you must provide proof of insurance for the car, current registration and all lights and turn signals must work.
