- Full stops at stop signs and correct traffic-light procedure
💡 Local Tips for Ohio
- The cone maneuverability section is the most-failed part — practice it with markers in an empty lot.
- Tests run by Highway Patrol and approved providers; confirm your exact testing location.
🗂️ What to Bring on Test Day
- Your learner permit and a second form of ID if your state requires it
- Registration and proof of insurance for the test vehicle
- A safe, road-legal vehicle — working lights, signals, horn, and brake lights are checked first
- Glasses or contacts if your permit has a corrective-lenses restriction
- Arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in
