DMV DRIVER SKILLS TEST
Under the new program from the DMV and ODOT, Roseburg driver education students 15 to 17 years of age who complete an ODOT-approved driver education course and receive an ODOT issued certificate of completion, can present the card for waiver of the drive test when they apply for a driver license at DMV.

 

18 YEAR OLDS
The above Driver Skills Test does NOT apply if your student is 18 years old. The DMV and ODOT requires your 18 year old to take their Driver Skills Test and the 20 question Driver Knowledge Test at the DMV.

Together, we want to produce safe and responsible drivers who are capable of driving collision-free for a lifetime.
