Topic overview

This section describes the driver examination, which is a four-part test: a written test, a vision test, a road sign test, and a driving (skills) test. The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) administers the exam, and before you take it you must prove your legal name and age. Knowing what each part checks helps you prepare and pass.

The Class F written test has 25 multiple-choice questions on driving laws and methods; it is not an open-book test and does not cover the Chapter 15 commercial vehicle information. The vision test includes both an acuity test and a peripheral (side) vision test, with a standard minimum acuity of at least 20/40 with either or both eyes. The road sign test checks your ability to recognize and understand traffic signs.

You take the driving test with an MSHP examiner after passing the written, vision, and road sign tests, and no one else may ride in the vehicle. You fail if you lose more than 30 points, and you automatically fail if you cause an at-fault crash, hit a pedestrian, drive dangerously, violate a traffic law, or refuse to drive as asked. You may take only one driving test per day, and after failing three times no further tests are allowed without written Department authorization and proof of additional behind-the-wheel training.
