Worth knowing in Massachusetts
- MA examiners still ask for hand signals: arm straight out = left, arm up = right, arm down = stop.
- You'll park between cones or vehicles — touching one ends the test.
- A licensed driver 21+ (often your sponsor) must be present, and the vehicle must be legal: registration, inspection sticker, working equipment.
