It’s a frightening thought! We created the DMV renewal practice test for 2023 NC applicants on this page not because you need to sit a renewal exam, but because you will need to brush up on your theory knowledge regardless.
Worryingly, this means there are a whole lot of seasoned drivers out there on the roads, with road rule and road sign knowledge that is no longer good enough to pass the current 2023 permit test, were they to take it again. As passing another theory assessment is not necessary, most drivers neglect to brush up on their road rule and road sign knowledge before renewing their licenses, or indeed at any point after achieving a full license. Fortunately, that is no longer the case! While the removal of the mandatory NC drivers license renewal test makes the re-application process far simpler and is ultimately a positive development, it does have some down-sides too.
Welcome to our refresher DMV practice test for NC drivers! There was once a time when drivers from Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington and Greensboro would be required to pass a theory examination to renew their North Carolina drivers license.
