What do I need to bring on the day of my road test?
You’ll need to bring your learner’s permit, proof of completion for your driver’s education courses and driving lessons, and a completed road test application (with the parental consent section filled out, if you are under 18). You’ll also need a legally registered vehicle and an eligible sponsor, even if you are over the age of 18.
With The Next Street’s help, we can provide you with a state-approved vehicle and an experienced TNS instructor to act as your sponsor. We’ll help with everything you need to succeed.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a test?
Please let us know if you want to cancel your road test at least 5 days in advance. If you fail to do so, we will charge a $60 cancellation fee. No-shows will also mean you are forfeiting your appointment for the road test.
Will I get my driver’s license the same day I test?
You’ll get your test results the same day. If you pass, the DMV or testing examiner will provide a temporary license (stamped document) for you to use until your permanent license arrives in the mail.
Do I have to finish all courses and driving lessons before taking a road test?
Under Massachusetts law, all driving students under 18 must complete a 30-hour driver’s education course, 12 hours of behind-the-wheel training, and 6 hours of observation, along with 40 hours of supervised driving on their own.
The Next Street curriculum is designed to meet all these requirements, ensuring new Massachusetts drivers have the best path to their road test.
What skills will I be tested on during a road test?
Typically, examiners will evaluate skills such as parallel parking, three-point turns, lane management, and on-the-road judgments like following distances, right-of-way, mirror checks, signaling, and so on.
In general, road tests are meant to assess your ability to follow the basic rules of the road and to demonstrate clear knowledge of how your vehicle works.
Driving classes and lessons with TNS will help you get comfortable with the essentials, so you are more than likely to pass your road test.
