Topic overview

This chapter covers the three parts of getting licensed: a vision screening, a written exam, and a driving exam. You get three attempts at each within a year of paying the application fee, and a written retest is required every eight years unless you have a clean driving record.

The vision standard is specific — minimum 20/40 acuity and at least 140 degrees of peripheral vision — and driving-exam day has its own rules: the vehicle must be properly licensed, insured, and in the right weight class, and only the examiner rides along with you.

Test-takers often underestimate how strict the exam environment is: cheating (even an open book in view) draws an automatic fail and a 30-day retest ban, and any traffic violation or dangerous maneuver during the driving exam is an automatic fail as well.

How many attempts do you get to pass each exam within a year?

Three attempts per exam, counted from the date you paid your application fee.

What can cause an automatic fail on the driving exam?

Committing any traffic violation or any dangerous action during the test — the exam ends immediately.

What are the minimum vision requirements to get licensed?

At least 20/40 visual acuity (with or without corrective lenses) and at least 140 degrees of peripheral vision.
