road test
Behind-the-wheel exam
A road test is a practical driving examination to obtain a license, or an evaluation of a vehicle's performance under actual driving conditions.
The term extends to any real-world trial: We took the new software for a road test before committing.
As a verb, to road-test is to evaluate something through practical use rather than theory.
