How many mistakes are allowed on a driving test in Michigan?

I’m getting ready for my driving test, and I’m really worried I won’t be able to pass it. How many mistakes can I make on the Michigan driving test before I fail it?

In
Michigan
, you start your driving test with 0 points, and your examiner will assign points each time they observe you making a mistake. If you accumulate more than 25 points, you will fail your Michigan driving test.
While minor mistakes cause you to accumulate points, there are also a few things that can cause you to fail your test automatically. You’ll automatically fail your Michigan driving test if you:
  • Speed
  • Run a red light or stop sign
  • Fail to yield to pedestrians or cyclists
  • Cause a traffic accident
Before you schedule your Michigan driving test, be sure you have the
liability coverage
required to take the test.
