What must a parent or legal guardian do on the day of the road test?

On the day of the road test, a parent or legal guardian is required to accompany the individual taking the test and sign a completion form. This is important because their presence affirms that they support the learner's readiness to take the test and acknowledges their legal responsibility in guiding their development as a safe driver. The completion form serves as a verification of the individual’s preparedness and compliance with the state's requirements for driver testing.

The other options do not satisfy the necessary criteria for the road test process. Simply providing approval through a phone call does not offer the same level of accountability and presence as physically accompanying the learner and signing the form. Submitting a written application to the DMV is a prerequisite that should be completed prior to the test, rather than an action taken on the day of the test. Lastly, while paying a road test fee may be a requirement, it typically does not need to be done on the day itself and does not replace the need for parental accompaniment and confirmation.
