If the vehicle you’re using for the road test is not inspected, what will happen?

  1. You will be allowed to use another vehicle

  2. You will have to reschedule

  3. You may pass the test regardless

  4. Your test will not be conducted

The correct answer is: Your test will not be conducted

If the vehicle you’re using for the road test is not inspected, your test will not be conducted. This means that the vehicle must meet certain safety and operational standards as mandated by the state's regulations. An uninspected vehicle may pose safety risks to both the driver and others on the road, as it could have underlying issues that aren't immediately visible. In addition, the road test assesses not only the applicant's driving skills but also the roadworthiness of the vehicle. If the vehicle is not inspected, it cannot be deemed safe for driving; hence, the testing authority will prevent the test from being conducted to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Completing a proper inspection is therefore a vital prerequisite before taking the road test.
