The re-examination road test
The road test has changed a lot in the last few years. Now, it’s a 60-minute exam that observes your ability to handle all the important road skills.
What will I have to do?
During your road test, your examiner will assess your ability to use the following skills:
- observation (e.g., shoulder and mirror checks, scanning)
- space margins (e.g., keeping your lane position, following at a safe distance)
- speed control (e.g., acceleration and deceleration, driving for conditions, keeping to posted speed limits)
- steering (e.g., smoothness, turning)
- communication (e.g., turn signals, eye contact with other drivers)
Your examiner will also assess your ability to perceive hazards and to enter and leave a high-speed roadway

What if I don't pass?
If you don't pass your re-exam, you will have to turn in your driver's licence. In most cases, you'll be issued a learner's licence (which means you can only drive while accompanied by another licensed adult). Most people are given two more opportunities (for a total of three) to pass the road test.
