Who is allowed in the vehicle during the driving skills test?

During the driving skills test, only the applicant and the examiner are allowed in the vehicle. This arrangement ensures that the examiner can focus solely on assessing the applicant's driving abilities without any distractions or influences from others in the vehicle.

Having a friend, family member, or instructor present during the test could introduce potential distractions and could affect the performance of the applicant. The presence of the examiner alone helps maintain an objective evaluation of the applicant’s driving skills in accordance with the standards set by the state's driving regulations. This is a crucial aspect of the testing process to maintain fairness and integrity in assessing each driver’s capabilities.
