Can a learner's permit holder receive a driver's license without taking the road test?

A learner's permit holder is required to take and pass the road test to obtain a full driver's license. This requirement is in place to ensure that the individual has demonstrated the necessary driving skills and knowledge of road safety regulations. The road test assesses practical driving abilities, including vehicle operation, adherence to traffic laws, and safe driving practices.

Meeting the practice time alone is not sufficient for transitioning from a learner's permit to a driver's license. While accumulating the required practice hours is important for gaining experience, the road test serves as a critical evaluation of the learner's readiness to drive independently. Therefore, without completing and passing this test, a learner cannot advance to a full driver's license.
