Virginia Road Test Information

​In Virginia, driving tests are conducted at Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Customer Service Centers (CSCs), all of which offer a variety of services:

  • Driver's License Testing: Learner's permits, standard driver's licenses, and commercial driver's licenses (CDLs).​

  • Vehicle Services: Titling, registration, and issuance of license plates.​

  • Records and Updates: Address changes, name changes, and copies of driving records.​

Test Maneuvers

As part of your road skills test you'll be evaluated on several different maneuvers, each of which has a 3 minute time limit and tests your control and observational skills. Maneuvers such as:​

  • Making a three-point turn.​

  • Performing pull-in and backing-in parking techniques.​

Common Reasons for Test Failure

According to Virginia test instructors there are a number of automatic failures, including:

  1. Not coming to a complete stop at stop signs.​

  2. Failure to obey signals and signs.​

  3. Hitting a sidewalk or curb.​

  4. Not completing your maneuvers within the allotted 3 minute time.​

Post-Test Procedures

When you pass your road skills test, you'll receive a temporary driver's license until the official one arrives in the mail. Your temporary license allows you to drive as you would with an official full license.

If you don't pass on this occasion, you may retake the test after a waiting for a set period, the duration of which varies according to your age and the number of previous failures. ​

  • Part One: 10 road sign questions - 100% to pass

  • Part Two: 30 general knowledge questions - 80% to pass.​
