What to Bring to a Brooklyn Road Test
- Your valid learner permit
- Your MV-278 pre-licensing certificate or MV-285 driver education certificate, if required
- Form MV-262 if you are under 18
- A car that is properly registered, insured and inspected
- An accompanying driver with a valid license
On Test Day at a Brooklyn Site
Arrive up to 15 minutes before your test time. Before you leave home, check the DMV road test cancellations page, especially in bad weather. Brooklyn sites tend to have busy traffic, double-parked cars and narrow streets, so practice smooth stops, careful scanning and safe distances. Your result is usually posted online after 6 p.m. on test day.
