The flow chart illustrates the procedure for obtaining a driving licence in the United States.
Overall, the process consists of several stages, beginning with completing an application and an eyesight test and ending with the successful completion of both written and road examinations. While failing the eyesight test results in the process ending, candidates who fail the subsequent examinations are given opportunities to retake them.
Initially, applicants visit a driving licence centre and fill in the required forms before taking an eyesight test. Those who fail this test are unable to proceed and do not receive a licence. By contrast, candidates who pass are required to pay the relevant fee. They can then take the written examination. If they are unsuccessful, they must retake the written exam until they pass it.
Once the written examination has been successfully completed, candidates proceed to the road examination. Those who pass this test are awarded their driving licence. However, applicants who fail the road test are required to pay the fee again before repeating the examination process. Therefore, only candidates who successfully complete all the required stages are ultimately granted a driving licence.
