​DRIVING EXAM FAQs

​

Q: DO I TAKE THE TEST IN THE SAME CAR I PRACTICE ON?

​

A: YES. 

​

Q: WHEN CAN I TAKE MY DRIVING TEST?

​

A: AS LONG AS YOU'RE READY, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR DRIVING TEST ANY TIME IF YOU ARE 18 OR OLDER. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, YOU MUST HAVE A LEARNER'S PERMIT FOR A FULL YEAR OR TURN 18 (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). BOOK YOUR TEST WITH US HERE!

​

Q: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRIVING TEST AT THE SCHOOL AND DRIVING TEST AT THE DMV?

​

A: WITH DRIVING TEST AT THE SCHOOL, THE TEST WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS. THERE WILL BE A PRE-EXAM PRACTICE (WHEN APPLICABLE) TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THE EXAM AREA. WE WILL PROVIDE A CERTIFICATE ONCE THE STUDENT PASSES THE TEST. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO GO TO A DMV OFFICE TO GET THE DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE DMV CAN RANDOMLY REQUIRE A STUDENT TO RETAKE THE DRIVING TEST AT A DMV LOCATION. A VALID FLORIDA LEARNER'S PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS SERVICE.   WITH DRIVING TEST AT THE DMV, THE TEST WILL TAKE PLACE AT A DMV LOCATION WITH A DMV EXAMINER. STUDENTS NEED TO PROVIDE THE CAR. (SUNNY ROAD DRIVING SCHOOL DOES NOT PROVIDE TESTS AT THE DMV. ONLY AT THE SCHOOL).

​

Q: HOW MANY HOURS OF LESSONS DO I NEED BEFORE TAKING MY DRIVING EXAM?

​

A: FLORIDA REQUIRES THAT MINORS COMPLETE A MINIMUM OF 50 HRS OF DRIVING (10 OF WHICH SHOULD BE AT NIGHT) BEFORE TAKING THE DRIVING EXAM. IDEALY, THESE HOURS SHOULD BE A COMBINATION OF DRIVING SCHOOL TRAINING AND FAMILY ASSISTED PRACTICE. MOST STUDENTS START THEIR TRAINING WITH THE DRIVING SCHOOL AND GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO DRIVING WITH AN ABLE FAMILY MEMBER TO COMPLETE THEIR PRACTICE HOURS. IT IS A GREAT IDEA TO KEEP A DRIVING PRACTICE LOGBOOK. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A FREE PDF DRIVING LOG HERE. 

​

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL MY DRIVING EXAM? 

​

A: YOU CAN TAKE THE EXAM AGAIN WITH US FOR FREE AFTER 7 DAYS. THERE WILL BE NO PICK-UP / DROP OFF FOR EXAM RETAKES. STUDENTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO TAKE THE TEST TWICE AT THE SCHOOL. AFTER A SECOND FAILED ATTEMPT, STUDENTS WILL NEED TO TAKE THE EXAM AT THE DMV. 

​

Q: WILL YOU HELP ME PASS MY DRIVING EXAM, (wink wink)? 

​

A: IF YOU HAVE THIS TYPE OF QUESTION, PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARRASSMENT OF A SCORNFUL REMARK. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN PREPARING OUR STUDENTS TO BE SAFE DRIVERS AND TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE LIVE HERE, AND SO DO OUR CHILDREN. THE LAST THING WE WANT, IS TO ALLOW AN UNSAFE PERSON TO OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE ON OUR ROADS. IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO TAKE THE EXAM, YOU CAN PRACTICE SOME MORE AND TAKE THE EXAM WHEN YOU FEEL READY.

​

Q: WHAT IS ON THE DRIVING EXAM?

​

A: ON THE DRIVING TEST YOU WILL BE ASKED TO EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING MANEUVERS:

(Check out our videos)

• Three Point Turn.

• Approach of Crossing. Get in the proper lane and look in each direction.

• Yield Right-of-Way. Allow pedestrians to cross, and don’t enter an intersection where you will interfere with other traffic.

• Straight-In Parking. When properly parked, the vehicle should be centered inside the space with no part of the vehicle extending out in the traffic lane.

• Parking on a Grade. Proper parking for uphill and downhill, with and without a curb.

• Stop Quickly. Make a quick, safe stop when the examiner instructs you.

• Backing. Back a distance of 50 feet at a slow speed while looking to the rear.

• Obey Stop Signs. Approach in the proper lane, come to a complete stop before reaching the stop line or crosswalk, and remain stopped until you can move safely.

• Obey Traffic Signals.

• Signal and Turn.

• Passing. Always look ahead and behind to make sure you can pass safely.

• Stay in Proper Lane. Drive in the right lane except on a one-way street. Do not change lanes until you may do so safely.

• Follow at a Safe Distance. 

• Use Proper Posture. Keep both hands on the steering wheel and do not rest your elbow in the window.

 

The examiner will explain any mistakes you may have made after the exam is completed. Customers who fail the The Class E Driving Skills Test will be asked to practice before returning for a re-test.
