The re-exam road test

The road test may have changed since the last time you were tested. Today's road test takes about 60 minutes. After a 45-minute drive, your driver examiner will spend time giving you some feedback on your driving strengths and weaknesses. There are several things you can do to prepare for your re-exam road test.

What will I have to do?

During your road test, your examiner will assess your ability to use the following skills:

Your examiner will also assess your ability to perceive hazards and to enter and leave a high-speed roadway.

What if I have any questions?

If you have any questions about the exam, ask the examiner before your test begins.

During the road test, your examiner will give you instructions but will not engage in conversation. This lets you give your full attention to your driving. It also allows your examiner to focus on observing and evaluating the skills you're demonstrating.

Try to relax. The examiner will not try to trick you or ask you to do anything illegal. You will be instructed, in plenty of time, when to make turns and where to park.

When you do not receive instructions, continue driving and obey all laws, rules, regulations, signs, signals and road markings.

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.
