⭐ Core Definition: Driving test

A driving test (also known as a driving exam or driver's test in some places) is a procedure designed to test a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. It exists in various forms worldwide, and is often a requirement to obtain a license to drive a vehicle independently. A driving test generally consists of one or two parts: the practical test (sometimes called a road test in the United States), used to assess a person's driving ability under normal operating conditions, and a theory test (written, oral or computerized) to confirm a person's knowledge of driving and relevant rules and laws.

The world's first mandatory national driving test was introduced in France in 1899.

Driving test in the context of Standardized test

A standardized test is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent or standard manner. Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner.

A standardized test is administered and scored uniformly for all test takers. Any test in which the same test is given in the same manner to all test takers, and graded in the same manner for everyone, is a standardized test. Standardized tests do not need to be high-stakes tests, time-limited tests, multiple-choice tests, academic tests, or tests given to large numbers of test takers. Standardized tests can take various forms, including written, oral, or practical test. The standardized test may evaluate many subjects, including driving, creativity, athleticism, personality, professional ethics, as well as academic skills.

Driving test in the context of Driving age

A minimum driving age is the youngest age at which a person is permitted by law to drive a motor vehicle on public roads, including to practice for a driving test and obtain a driving licence.

Minimum driving age laws are in place in most places, though the age varies between jurisdictions. In most jurisdictions, the minimum driving age for cars is 18. In many cases, persons below the minimum driving age may be able to drive under supervision from a competent driver or driving instructor. The lowest minimum driving age is in South Dakota in the United States, where a person aged fourteen can drive under adult supervision and a person aged fourteen and a half can obtain a driver's licence and drive unsupervised, albeit with restrictions. In other parts of the US, persons as young as fourteen can be given permission to drive where such permission would not normally be afforded due to exceptional hardship.
