Colorado Driving Test Information & Resources
Third-Party Centers
Unlike some other states, many Colorado drivers complete their road test at approved third-party driving schools. These providers follow the same rules as the DMV, but the testing route may vary slightly.
Stop Means Stop
Colorado examiners are very strict on rolling stops at stop signs. Your vehicle must come to a complete stop behind the white line, and you must yield appropriately before proceeding.
Left Lane Law
Colorado law requires slower drivers to stay in the right lane unless passing. This applies on highways and some multi-lane roads. Driving in the left lane without overtaking can result in a ticket, and could count as an error on your driving test.
Mountain Driving
Even if your driving test isn’t in the mountains, you’re expected to understand how to control your vehicle on slopes - especially using lower gears when going downhill and maintaining a safe speed on curves.
Weather Can Shift in Minutes
Be prepared to drive in wet, icy, or foggy conditions, especially in fall and winter. If your road test happens during poor weather, you'll be assessed on how well you adjust: slowing down, turning on headlights, increasing following distance, and avoiding abrupt movements.
Chain Laws and Tire Traction Awareness
While not tested directly, Colorado's traction laws are important to understand - especially if you plan to drive west of Denver. From September to May, certain highways may require vehicles to have snow-rated tires or chains.
School Zones
Most school zones in Colorado are enforced with flashing yellow lights, which let you know the lower speed limit (typically 20 mph) is active.
Resources
Comprehensive information on road rules, traffic signs, and safe driving practices makes this an essential study guide when preparing for the knowledge test.
