Vehicle Control Skills and Driving Performance During the road test, you will be examined and evaluated on your: • Control of the vehicle. • Ability to parallel park. • Ability to park on a hill. • Response to traffic and road conditions, traffic signs, and signals. • Ability to signal and perform right and left turns properly. • Ability to use both marked and unmarked lanes of traffic. • Observation and consideration of pedestrians and other drivers. • Ability to perform the 90-degree backing skill maneuver. This simulates backing into a ten-foot wide driveway or parking space. These actions will cause you to fail the road test immediately: • Disobeying a traffic law. • Dangerous, careless, or reckless driving, including any action that could result in a traffic crash. • Inability to control your vehicle or complete a maneuver without assistance from the examiner. • Involving your vehicle in a crash that you could have avoided, even if you are not legally at fault. • Not cooperating with the examiner or refusing to do something the examiner asks. If you fail the road test, you may retake it after you have had time to improve your driving skills. You will be assigned practice time that must be completed before your next road test is given. If you fail the road test four times, you must complete at least six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction with a licensed instructor before taking the road test again. When you pass the road test, you may apply for your Minnesota driver’s license. If you are under 18 years of age, your parent, legal guardian, county appointed foster parent or director of the transitional living program in which you reside must sign and approve your application. The validated record of your road test score and your application receipt will serve as your temporary driver’s license until you receive your permanent driver’s license in the mail
