Can you appeal a failed driving test?
I didn’t pass my driving test, but I just don’t think my test administrator was fair. Do I have any recourse in this situation?
Pat Roache · Updated on

I understand your frustration, but unfortunately, you’re likely not going to get the satisfaction you are looking for. Your local DMV might have its own policies on appealing road test results, but you will likely have to take a new test to
get your driver’s license
. The problem with trying to appeal your road test is that it is your word against the administrator’s. The state will still need an accredited administrator to verify that you are qualified to drive.
Here are some options you can take if you think a road test was failed unfairly:
- File a complaint against the test administrator if you think the failure was based on prejudice, lack of qualification, negligence, or any other behavior that would merit bias
- Request a new test with a different administrator at the testing site (in which an official complaint could help waive fees or waiting periods)
- Take a new test at a different testing site
As you can see, there is no surefire way to “win” your driver’s license in these circumstances. Check your accountability to
perform all driving functions
properly and ask your next administrator what you could have done differently if they fail you again. There is no rush to get behind the wheel.Passing your driving test can take a lot of hard work and patience, but finding
cheap car insurance
doesn’t have to. Just download the Jerry
