In short
The in-car portion of the US driver-license exam, run by each state's DMV.
The US road test is the in-car portion of the driver-license exam. Each state's DMV sets its own format — there is no national standard.
Most road tests run 15–20 minutes and cover observation, parking (state-specific), 3-point turns (state-specific), basic intersections, and lane changes. Pass standards vary significantly.
