A driving test is an assessment that measures a person's ability to operate a motor vehicle in a safe and responsible manner. It typically involves a series of practical exercises designed to evaluate a driver's skills, including their ability to control the vehicle, follow road rules, navigate through traffic situations, and demonstrate general awareness of other drivers on the road. The purpose of a driving test is to determine if an individual is ready for independent driving and to ensure that they meet minimum safety standards before being granted a driver's license or permit.
