What are the requisites for the driving test
The Department of Motor Vehicles’ director, Armando Botello, says that it is necessary fro the applicant to meet the essential security requirements. He means the proper functioning of the headlights, the horn, the parking brake and the dashboard lights.
It is important that the driver’s window works well, that the windshield is clean, and that the car has at least a rear-view mirror and a left side-view mirror.
The vehicle must be insured and registered properly.
It is advisable that the passenger seat on which the driving inspector will sit is clean.
It is important that a driver with a valid license accompanies the applicant to the DMV office, because the latter cannot legally drive yet.
