Conn. Agencies Regs. § 14-137-68 - Testing of applicant

(a) In addition to any other requirements for obtaining an operator's license or commercial driver's license in this state imposed by law, in order to ensure that an applicant who does not hold a license issued by another state, as described in subsection (a) of Section 14-137-67 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, can safely operate motor vehicles of the class for which the applicant has applied, has sufficient knowledge of motor vehicles to ensure safe operation and has satisfactory knowledge of the laws concerning motor vehicles, such applicant shall be required by the commissioner to take and pass a vision test, a knowledge test, and a driving skills test including an on-the-road driving test.

(b) In addition to any other requirements for obtaining an operator's license or commercial driver's license in this state imposed by law, in order to ensure that an applicant who holds a valid and unexpired license issued by another state, as described in section 14-137-65 subsection (a) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, can safely operate motor vehicles of the class for which the applicant has applied, such applicant shall be required to take and pass a vision test. In addition, the commissioner may require any such applicant to take and pass a driving skills test including an on-the-road driving test.

(c) Unless otherwise directed by the commissioner, any applicant who fails the knowledge test or the on-the-road skills test shall not be admitted for a re-examination until after thirty days from the date of such failure, and in the case of an applicant who fails for a second time, a re-examination shall not be permitted until after sixty days from the date of such second failure. The commissioner may require any applicant who has failed an examination two or more times to present evidence of the successful completion of a course of driver education, taken in a licensed commercial school or secondary school program, following the most recent failure of an examination, before such applicant is admitted for re-examination.

(d) The commissioner may accept an application for renewal of an operator's license and may waive the on-the-road driving test in the case of any applicant who presents satisfactory evidence that he or she has previously held a Connecticut operator's license that has been expired for a period of two years or less from the date of application.

(e) All applicants for a commercial driver's license shall be required to successfully complete knowledge and skills testing in accordance with the provisions of section 14-44e of the Connecticut General Statutes and the applicable provisions of Title 49, Part 383 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
