Quality driver testing was founded by Dave Martino, a former Novi city police officer. Mr Martino has been conducting road tests for over 25 years. Don Stimmel has also been conducting road-tests for over 20 years. Brad House has over 8 years of testing experience. and 15 years of experience as a driver education instructor. Each state approved road test examiner has years of experience and takes a friendly, calm approach with each applicant. Whether you are a confident, experienced driver or a nervous tester, you will be in good hands at Quality Driver Testing.
The test location is the Legacy Church parking lot at the southeast corner of Eleven Mile and Taft Rd. The address is 45301 W 11 Mile Rd., Novi MI 48375. Please enter the address in GPS exactly as listed. Please note that the test site is not the same as our office. Please arrive 10 minutes early and enter the parking lot off Eleven Mile where you will see the traffic cones set up.
Michigan standards require that the applicant bring a roadworthy vehicle (one that would not cause the test to be terminated due to faulty equipment). The vehicle can only be occupied by the examiner, the applicant, and any required passenger (parent/guardian for minor, or if necessary, an interpreter). Please dress appropriately for the weather as the parent/guardian is outside the vehicle for the parking lot portion of the exam. Also, if you are over 18 and you have someone bringing you to the appointment, they will not be able to stay in the car during your test. The church may not be open so they may have to wait outside. Please make sure they dress for that possibility.
Applicants should review the Michigan Road Test Skills study guide prior to taking the test.
