The diagram illustrates the procedures for obtaining a driving license in the US.
Overall, it is clear that the licensing procedure consists of three tests, including an eyesight test, a theory examination, and a practical road test. Only the applicants who pass all the required assessments are granted a driving license.
Looking at the licensing process more closely, one can see that at the first step, prospective drivers go and register at the driving license center, where they fill in the forms with the necessary information. After that, they are given a mandatory eyesight test, which acts as the first hurdle in the process. If they fail it, they are not eligible to proceed and therefore they cannot acquire a driving license.
In contrast, if they pass the first test, they will take a theoretical written examination upon payment of the required fees. Notably, in this stage, the candidates are allowed to retake up to two times. This means that they will have more opportunities to pass it. However, if they are not successful in all three attempts, they have to pay the fees again before being allowed another round of the theory test.
Meanwhile, the candidates who pass the written assessment will face the final examination- a practical road test. A successful performance in this test results in the issuance of a driving license. Conversely, if they are unsuccessful in the road test, they must pay the fees again and retake both assessments.
