During the driving test the following will be performed: Turn around and back up Use vehicle turn signals Drive in the correct lane Maintain a safe following distance The maneuverability test has two parts: Maneuverability Test Step One Drive forward through a 9’ by 20’ box formed by four markers. Measurements are taken from the center of the marker. Examiner will direct driver to steer to the right or the left of the center marker. Steer straight ahead and stop when the rear bumper of the car is even with the center marker and generally parallel with the course. Maneuverability Test Step Two From a stopped position at the end of step one, driver must back past the center marker. Straighten the car and back through the box, coming to a stop with the bumper even with the two rear markers and generally parallel with the course.
Before the test is complete, the driver must remove the vehicle from the test area without running over markers or performing any other disqualifying actions. Stopping, bumping markers, misjudgment of stopping distance, and not being parallel with the test area are all deductions from the overall point total. It is an immediate failure if a driver runs over or knocks down a marker, or removes the marker from the designated area. After passing the driving and maneuverability tests, drivers may go to a deputy registrar to be issued a driver license. The driver must surrender the TIPIC at this time. Upon failure of a driving or skills test, the applicant must wait seven days before retesting. After the fourth failure, the applicant must wait six months before he or she will be allowed to retest.Worried about passing the Ohio driver’s permit test?
