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

I’m going to schedule my driving test in Washington, but before I do, I want to learn more about it. I know you can make a few mistakes on your driving test without failing, but I’m not sure what all it entails. How many mistakes can I make on a driving test in Washington?

Taking your driving test can feel nerve-racking, but don’t stress too much! You are allowed up to 20 points worth of mistakes on your
Washington
driving test and still pass. However, you can’t necessarily say how many mistakes that is because each mistake carries a different point deduction.
Note that some mistakes cause you to automatically fail your driving test in Washington, so use extra caution to avoid these actions:
  • Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
  • Failure to make a complete stop at a stop sign or traffic light
  • Near-miss accidents
  • Collisions or accidents where you’re at fault
When you go to take your test, arrive 15 minutes early so you can focus and push any negativity out of your mind. With any luck, you should have a driver’s license in your hand within an hour!
After you pass the driving test and have your license in hand, you’re probably ready to cruise around or set off on an adventure. Before you do, make sure that you shop around for a proper car insurance policy with the
