DRIVERS LICENSE TEST

The Colorado drivers license test evaluates more than 100 items that even seasoned drivers can overlook. Our experienced and patient driving instructors understand that the driving test can be an intimidating experience, and they work hard to provide a supportive and calm environment where students can fully focus on the road ahead of them. When students conclude their drivers license tests, our driving instructors provide valuable feedback to help them on their mission to become safe drivers. Whether a student passes or fails, we do everything we can to make his/her time with us a positive learning experience that encourages smart decisions behind the wheel.

Becoming a fully licensed driver is a major life milestone that symbolizes freedom and opportunity, and it’s a great honor for us to be able to help countless Coloradans reach this long-awaited achievement. As the largest and most trusted driving school in Colorado, DriveSafe offers a variety of options to help aspiring motorists earn their licenses.

Between our basic drivers license test and our drivers license course options that include expertly-taught driving lessons prior to the road test, we provide flexible options for you to take your test in a friendly environment. (Please note that the Colorado DMV is not offering the road test at this time.)

Written Permit Test/Knowledge Test vs. Driver License Test

The requirements for getting your driver’s license in the state of Colorado vary depending on your age.

If you’re between 15 and 15 1/2 years old, you’ll need to complete a 30-hour driver education course before taking the written test to receive your permit. If you’re between 15 1/2 and 16 years old, you can instead sign up for a 4-hour expanded driver awareness program before taking your permit test. Once you’ve been issued your permit, it will be valid for 3 years, but you’ll need to hold it for 1 full year or until your 18th birthday before you can take your driver license test.

To receive a driver’s license, you’ll need to take a road test at a Colorado driving school – the DMV does not offer road tests. If you’re under 18, you’ll need to have 6 hours behind the wheel with a driving instructor in the car before taking your road test, but there is no behind-the-wheel requirement for those over the age of 18. As such, our one-hour and two-hour driving lessons are optional refresher courses to help ensure that you’re prepared for the road test.

FAQ

How do I take my driving test in Colorado?

To take your driving test in Colorado, follow these steps:

  1. Complete Driver’s Education: Ensure you have completed the required driver’s education program.
  2. Schedule Your Test: Call DriveSafe at 303-721-8881 to schedule your driving test.
  3. Prepare for the Test: Practice your driving skills and ensure you are familiar with Colorado driving laws.

The Colorado driving test consists of a standardized road test that evaluates your driving skills. Here are the key components:

  1. Pre-Drive Checklist: You may be asked to demonstrate knowledge of vehicle controls and safety checks.
  2. Driving Maneuvers: The test will assess your ability to perform various driving maneuvers, such as:
    • Starting and stopping
    • Turning
    • Lane changes
    • Parallel parking
    • Obeying traffic signals and signs
  3. Road Conditions: You will be evaluated on how you handle different road conditions and traffic situations.
  4. Duration: The test typically takes about 20-30 minutes.

After the test, the examiner will provide feedback and inform you whether you passed.

In Colorado, you can take the driving test as many times as needed; however, there may be a waiting period between attempts. If you fail the test, you will need to wait at least one day before you can retake it. It’s important to practice and prepare adequately before each attempt to increase your chances of passing.
