- Backing in a straight line
- Speed control in school, residential, and business zones
- Full stops at stop signs and correct traffic-light procedure
💡 Local Tips for Pennsylvania
- You must clear the parallel-parking box (24 ft × 8 ft) before the examiner takes you on the road.
- Hilly streets: practice starts on grades without rolling back.
🗂️ 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
