What would disqualify someone under the age of 18 from taking their driver's license road test?

To qualify for a driver's license road test in Massachusetts, individuals under the age of 18 must hold their learner's permit for a minimum of six months. This requirement is designed to ensure that young drivers gain sufficient experience under supervised conditions before they are allowed to drive independently. Holding a learner's permit for this duration allows new drivers to practice critical driving skills and better prepares them for the road test.

While there are other disqualifying factors such as failing the written test, driving recklessly, or scheduling conflicts, the specific requirement of having a valid learner's permit for at least six months is a fundamental stipulation for progression to the road test phase in the licensing process for those under 18.
