Do I need car insurance to take a driving test?

I’m about to take my driving test next week, and I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. Do I have to have car insurance before I take the test?

In general, you will need
car insurance
to take a driving test.
But that doesn’t mean you need a policy in your name. If you’re using a friend or family member’s car for your test, you’ll be all set as long as they have it properly insured—just be sure to bring their
proof of insurance
to the test with you.
The bottom line: In most cases, you won’t need your own insurance policy, as long as the car you’re using to take your driver’s test is properly insured.
