Taking Your Test

Print Friendly

Is your PA driver license test coming up soon?  Here are some helpful hints to get you through:

  • The day of your driver’s test, be sure to line up 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment – if you don’t, they may not run you through the test.
  • Make sure the insurance card and registration card for the vehicle you’re taking the test in are accurate and up-to-date.
  • Check and double-check that all equipment works on your vehicle – even a single light bulb out can cause you to fail the exam.
  • Make sure the person who accompanies you is over the age of 21 and has a valid PA license.
  • If your parent isn’t accompanying you, you’ll need a signed and notarized copy of PennDOT Form 180-C.
  • You must know the last four digits of your social security number.

Here are some common reasons why people fail the exam:

  • Inability to operate any vehicle controls
  • Violating any traffic laws (say, failing to stop properly at a Stop sign)
  • Driving dangerously or recklessly
  • Making errors in safe driving practices
  • Failing to follow instructions given by an examiner
  • Causing a crash (yeah, sort of a no-brainer)
  • Not using your turn signals properly
