Whether you pass
or fail your road test you will be given either a white receipt–like
paper or a large yellow piece of paper. Both show you the results of
your test.
When you pass you
will be asked to sign at the bottom of the white receipt-like paper or
the examiner will stamp the bottom of the yellow paper.
This is your
temporary license. You can now drive. You should receive your New York
state drivers license in the mail within approximately two weeks. It
will come to the same address that is on your permit. It will also
have the same expiration date as the permit.
You can submit a
change of address form at your local DMV office.
They will also
keep your pre-licensing class certificate if you pass or if it is
expired. If you've passed then you don’t need it anymore. If the
pre-licensing class certificate is expired then you will need to take
the five hour class again to get another certificate.
If you fail and
you are given the yellow paper. There will be no stamp (if you have
passed, they will stamp it). If you fail and you are given the white
receipt-like paper, there will be no place for your signature (if you
have passed, there will be a place for your signature). Also if you
fail you will be given back your five hour class certificate. You will
need this to schedule another road test. The DMV allows you to take
the road test as many times as you want. But they will assess a $10
fee for every two road test that you take. So for example, this means
that if you fail your road test twice then you will have to pay $10 to
be able to schedule the road test for a third and fourth time.
If
you have passed, somewhere on the document it should say something
like: Applicant meets standards for licensing.
FAQ’s
Why did I fail chart?
The only people
who know exactly what happened on you’re your test are you the
examiner. And most of the time the evaluation sheet that they give you
at the end of the test can sometimes be confusing or just plain
illegible. Sometimes you may even see things on there that you would
swear never happened.
The road test is
based on a point system. More than 30 points you fail. Thirty points
or less you pass.
You can fail as a
result of accumulating too many points or a result of one mistake.
There are mistakes that you can make on the road test that can fail
you automatically, no matter how harmless it may seem to you, no
matter at what point it happens during the test and no matter how well
you did on the rest of the test. Most people fail as a result of one
critical mistake as opposed to an accumulation of too many points.
The maximum
amount that can be taken off for any one mistake is 15 points.
Mistakes range from 5,10 and 15 points. Mistakes that are 15 points
are mistakes that typically fail you automatically, regardless of how
many points you have or haven't already accumulated.
Also sometimes when
you see things on your result sheet that you don't remember doing, it
could be that those mistakes are related to one particular mistake.
For example.
(Say you made a wide right turn and almost went into the wrong lane
but swung the car into the correct lane. Your possible mistakes in
this situation could be 1. wide right turn (5pts.) 2. improper lane
(10pts.) 3. not looking over shoulder when switching lanes 4. not
signaling when switching lanes 5. poor steering control (15pts.) Your
first mistake was making the turn too wide, your second mistake was
partially turning into the wrong lane, your third mistake was swinging
back into the lane that you should have gotten into in the first place
(this is perceived as poor steering control), your next mistake was
probably not signaling when swinging back into the correct lane and
your last mistake was not looking over your shoulder when swinging
back over ( there could have been another vehicle already there,
making it's turn correctly and you did not look or indicate properly.)
