Frequently Asked Questions

  • Schedule your Connecticut road test online through the DMV website or by phone. Appointments are required as walk-ins are not accepted.

  • The driving part of the test usually lasts about 15–20 minutes, depending on the current traffic and which route chosen by your examiner on the day.

  • Your learner’s permit, a registered and insured vehicle (in safe working order), and proof of driver’s education if you’re under 18 will be required.

  • Any car that is legally registered, insured, and safe to drive. The examiner will check the brake lights, indicators, horn, mirrors, seatbelts, and windshield before your test can begin.

  • Most of the road test routes in Connecticut focus on the local streets and main roads, not on highways. There is however a chance you may be asked to merge onto a busier road or handle higher-speed traffic at some point during the drive.

  • There’s no maximum number of minor mistakes allowed. You’ll pass if you show safe and confident driving.

    Serious errors like running a stop sign, speeding, or unsafe lane changes will result in you failing automatically.

  • You will need to wait 14 days before rescheduling another test.

    If you’re under 18, you’ll need a parent or guardian’s signature in order to book again.

Connecticut Test Information

Learner’s Permit Rules

  • In order to take your driving test, you must first hold a learner’s permit.

  • If you’re under 18, you must have completed 40 hours of on-the-road practice driving and a driver’s education course before booking your road test.

  • Learners under 18 must hold a permit for a minimum of 120 days provided they’ve completed driver education, or 180 days without it.

Connecticut Road Test Requirements

On the day of your test, you’ll need to bring:

  1. A registered and insured vehicle in safe operating condition.

  2. Your learner’s permit.

  3. Proof of driver’s education (if under 18).

The test itself usually covers:

  1. Starting and stopping safely.

  2. Turning at intersections.

  3. Backing up and reversing in a straight line.

  4. Parking on a hill.

  5. Obeying stop signs and traffic lights.

Connecticut Driving Laws Worth Remembering

  • Seatbelts: A requirement at all times for drivers and passengers.

  • Passengers: Drivers under 18 are not permitted to have more than one passenger in the car for the first six months of driving (excluding parents, guardians, or instructors).

  • Mobile phones: Handheld use is prohibited. If you’re under 18 you may not use any electronic device while driving, even if hands-free.

  • Right turns on red: Unless a sign prohibits it these are allowed, but you still need to come to a complete stop and yield to traffic and pedestrians.

  • Move Over Law: It is a requirement to slow down and move over when emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or highway workers approach with flashing lights.
