When a character needs to pass a road test to earn a driving license. Usually they are a teenager who is obtaining a driver's license for the first time in their life as part of the process of advancing to adulthood. In most North American societies (particularly rural and suburban regions with less public transportation) it is a cultural norm to obtain a driver's license in the early years of adolescence, and the adult who doesn't hold one will be portrayed as a Manchild. More rarely, they might need to renew an existing license. In countries such as the UK which are more reliant on public transport, people tend to learn to drive primarily for work reasons and as such may leave it later. Often, during the test, a danger occurs that forces the character to make emergency evasive maneuvers. This may impress the examiner enough to award bonus points in the evaluation for successfully dealing with a dangerous situation. Alternately, the picky driving examiner will demerit the applicant for the most minor mistakes and fail them. Either the character will retake the test at a later date with additional encouragement and training from their friends, or they will invoke Rules Lawyer to pass. |

One episode of TaleSpin involves Baloo having to retake his piloting test. Unfortunately, he gets an instructor who has caused problems for him in the past, and whose teaching method (using the alphabet to illustrate his points) invariably puts Baloo in a panic. It gets worse when Baloo attempts to work other jobs, only for the instructor or his granddaughter to show up and try to instruct Baloo on the finer points of the job (which he seemed to do fine up to that point), only to cause Baloo to panic again. | |

"Driving Miss DJ" from Full House has DJ wanting to practice for her road test. Danny is insanely over-protective, super critical and paranoid while teaching her to the point of hindrance, even demanding she secure the garbage tote before starting the car. He stops the test when he yells at her for not noticing the tree they were very slowly approaching, a tree that was on the complete opposite end of the parking lot where they were. DJ then asks Jesse to teach her which he accepts immediately, but he's in the opposite direction and gives her too little of advice and guidance. She takes a turn too sharply and scrapes the side of his car against the concrete of a pole. Afterwards both try to convince her to give up, which DJ calls them out on, particularly Danny, and they admit that they are simply worried about her. They both relent, accept that she has to learn to live her own life and decide to teach her together to balance each other out. Fridge Brilliance kicks in concerning Danny's severe reluctance to have DJ drive when it's revealed in a later episode that his wife and the girls' mother Pam was killed by a drunk driver (her death kicked off the premise of the show, but they never confirmed how she died until several seasons later.) | |

On The Dukes of Hazzard, Daisy was competing in the Miss Tri-County contest. One of the events was a car race - but her license had expired. To get a new license, Bo and Luke have to take her to the DMV in the next county. Since leaving Hazzard County is a violation of their probation, they have to drop Daisy and keep driving to stay away from the local sheriff who's chasing them, then pick her up AND get back to Hazzard in time for the race. | |

What is Canada's Worst Driver if not an entire season of this trope? It's essentially a driving boot camp where Canada's worst drivers gain some practice and break their bad habits. The spirit of this trope is played arrow-straight in each season's final challenge, where remaining students have to take host Andrew out onto public roads for a driving test. Not surprisingly, since this places each driver in real-world conditions, it's what largely decides who is named Canada's Worst Driver. | |

She performs extremely poorly, however when she witnesses a kidnapping, her Galaxy Police instincts kick into high gear, chasing down the kidnappers and saving the child. Mihoshi actually fails the test, but the kid's father is so grateful, he uses his connections to let Mihoshi get her license. | |

In Fire Season, Stephanie Harrington gets to take her driving test (in this case, in an Aircar). The test has two portions, one using an autopilot assist, and one using manual-only controls, analogous to a 20th century driver having the option to test while Driving Stick. The book's intro has Stephanie's friend Karl letting her surreptuously practice flying his car, and almost plowing into a tree when she gets distracted by something. | |

Subverted in the You're Under Arrest! manga. Natsumi (an utterly reckless driver) already has a motorcycle license, but not a car license. Upon deciding to obtain one she's eventually required to take a driving test. Her driving is so utterly reckless that the tester passes out almost immediately and doesn't wake up until Natsumi parks back in the lot. She passed. The Anime's take on the events gets her involved in a chase with a cargo truck after it performs a hit and run instead. Oh, and the tester hiring a team of mechanics to rig the car so as to make it harder to drive for her, unaware that she has Super-Strength after she removes the harness she was wearing. | |

He manages to annoy the DMV clerk past the point of endurance by analyzing the learner's permit test so much that she gives him his permit without him actually taking the test.

Then once he gets in the car and he and Ives start driving over to Gotham's Chinatown to hang out he quickly becomes loudly incredulous that Ives actually passed his test since Ives is heavy on the brakes and refuses to go over 20mph. | |

Kamen Rider Drive had an episode that revealed that Chase, the Third Rider and a reformed Roidmude, didn't have a license for his Cool Bike; since he's affiliated with the Tokyo Police Department, that just won't do so he takes the test. Naturally a Roidmude attacks in the middle of it and Chase steps away from the learner car to fight it, though he does apologize to the instructor beforehand (and transforms right in front of the poor confused guy). He does eventually go back and pass the test, though. And when he dies in the final battle, his damaged license becomes a Tragic Keepsake for Gou (Kamen Rider Mach). | |

Just getting trained for her driving test proves challenging to Nicky from Blue Bloods, as nearly every adult in the Reagan family is a terrible driver. Her mother Erin honks and screams at other vehicles, her uncle Danny treats everything like a Car Chase, great-grandfather Henry's vision and reflexes have declined too much for safety, and grandpa Frank, as police commissioner, hasn't driven himself in years. Only her uncle Jamie proves calm and competent enough to give Nicky lessons. | |

Kaeloo had an episode where Stumpy and Quack Quack try to get their driver's licences. Both of them fail. Stumpy fails not only because he Drives Like Crazy, but because Kaeloo didn't do a very good job of teaching him how to drive. Quack Quack, on the other hand, is able to do everything perfectly well, but his driving instructor is Mr. Cat, who not only gives him negative points for ridiculous reasons, but actively tries to make him fail by doing things like shining a flashlight in his eyes and ripping out the steering wheel, finally causing him to drive off a cliffnote Mr. Cat somehow escaped the car before it fell.. | |

He gets an accident, but Rizzo passes Potter, because of how well he steered around the danger. Potter initially doesn't accept that, but reveals he's open to the rationalization. However, after all that trouble, at the end of the episode Potter is departing to attend a meeting riding his horse, Sophie, instead. | |

However, Lori ends up sabotoging Leni's 14th attempt on purpose, for the sake of worrying she won't be important for driving the kids anywhere anymore. | |

Spoofed in Malcolm in the Middle when Reese, annoyed that his driving instructor did not give him any time to take his driving test, usurps the driving seat from the other girl so he could at least drive back to the DMV. Suddenly, a lady accidentally bumps into the car. Reese, panicking (thinking he messed up), drives off and eventually gets involved in a low speed chase with several police cars. You have to watch the whole episode just to know how hilarious it is. The chase ends when Reese returns to the driving school and completes the course PERFECTLY. He even parallel parks in his time behind the wheel, prompting a cop watching the chase at Malcolm's home to remark "That's impressive!" | |

In the inevitable boys-vs-girls driving test episode on The Brady Bunch, Greg and Marcia tie their scores on the combined written and road tests. They have a final drive bet to see who is the better driver. Marcia navigates the course and comes to within an inch and a quarter to a final cone holding a raw egg (as the final test). Greg also makes it through the course but over thinks the ending and guns the car engine at the last minute, breaking the egg. Bobby later wants to challenge Cindy to a similar contest with bicycles, but backs out when he sees Greg doing Marcia's chores. | |

Big City Greens did this with Alice Green in one episode, given that she had to retake her road test after it expired decades ago. However, she admits she's afraid to take the test and is worried she won't do well, but regains her confidence thanks to Cricket and Tilly. In the end she passes and gets her license, though restricted. | |

Ms. Marvel (2022): As soon as Kamala begins her driver's test, she immediately hammers the gas in full reverse and crashes into the instructor's car.

He also has Chef Pee Pee drive him places, finding it easier than trying to get a license. Junior manages to convince him to try getting his driver's license by telling him that he could drive to a meet and greet hosted by Charleyyy of Charleyyy and Friends fame. Bowser goes to the DMV, where Brooklyn T. Guy is his driving instructor. Brooklyn ends up failing Bowser for not wearing his seatbelt, driving over the traffic cones, not stopping at the stop sign, using the wrong turn signal, yelling over the phone with his mother over a spaghetti dinner, and yelling at Jackie Chu. | |

In The Looney Tunes Show, one episode focuses entirely on three characters taking their driving tests. Porky's license expired, and Daffy and Lola were both so clueless, they didn't even know they needed licenses. Porky "fails", because his written test gets swapped with Daffy's (maliciously) and Lola (accidentally) both times he tries. Then, for different reasons, Daffy and Lola wind up grading themselves on the driving test (Sam was administering the test. He was too short to see out the window for Daffy's significant-but-slow errors, and while he got a booster seat for Lola's test, she Drives Like Crazy, and he was in shock at the end of it.) | |

Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man has to take a driving test in one issue. He does very well - the Spider-Sense apparently does wonders on the road - until a villain attacks, and he has to "panic" to get away so he can put on his suit and fight. Naturally, he fails. In a mild subversion, he doesn't retake and doesn't actually mind all that much (probably because he lives in New York City). | |

The fact that they can (and do) fly anywhere too far to walk means neither has even the slightest concept of how to drive in the first place.

In Gran Turismo, you have to take driving tests before you're given a chance to purchase the coolest cars in the game or participate in the highest-paying races (the first game wouldn't let you race at all in simulation mode without at least a B license), and this game is all about Cool Cars. The driving tests were as realistic as they could be in PS1 hardware. Cue joy from driving enthusiasts, frustration from the majority of '90s kids, and the making of a future generation of real-life racers. | |

Parodied in Drawn Together. When Ling-Ling tries to get his license, his instructor pulls out a huge protective gear strong enough to protect a Formula 1 driver. Ling-Ling then turns the key, shifts to drive... and a big mountain of cars, airplanes, motorbikes, trains and ships suddenly lands on the car. This is later explained by Wooldoor Sockbat, claiming those who have Asian eyes see danger everywhere and can't speak English (which is why Ling-Ling speaks Japanese-sounding gibberish). | |
