New York DMV Relocates Yorktown Road Tests to Peekskill on June 25
On June 25, 2026, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced that all road tests scheduled at the Yorktown Road Test Site for that date have been relocated to the Peekskill Road Test Site. According to the DMV’s cancellations and closings page, the relocation affects every customer who had a Class D passenger-vehicle road test appointment at Yorktown on June 25. Rather than canceling the exams, the department is moving them to Peekskill and keeping each appointment at the same time, so there is no need to reschedule. The DMV did not specify the reason for the change, but such relocations typically occur due to unexpected circumstances at the original site, such as construction, maintenance, or safety concerns.
The Yorktown site is a popular testing location in Westchester County, and the sudden change may surprise some test takers. Those who have appointments should carefully review the notice to ensure they arrive at the correct location. The Peekskill Road Test Site, located in the city of Peekskill, is still in Westchester County but may require additional travel time depending on the applicant’s starting point. The DMV advises motorists to plan their route in advance, arrive at least 15 minutes before their scheduled test time, and bring all required documents, including a valid learner permit, a completed pre‑licensing course certificate, and a supervised driver who meets age and license requirements.
The DMV also reminds applicants that the vehicle used for the road test must be properly registered, inspected, and insured. The vehicle must have working lights, signals, and safety equipment, and it must allow the examiner to reach the brake pedal if necessary. Customers should double‑check their appointment confirmation email or letter for instructions and follow any additional guidance provided. If you are unable to travel to the Peekskill site, contact the DMV immediately to discuss rescheduling options.
Even though the location is changing, all appointment times remain unchanged. Applicants will be tested by DMV license examiners using the same standards as at Yorktown. To prepare, practice parallel parking, three‑point turns, and safe lane changes. You should also review the New York Driver’s Manual and ensure you understand how to respond to various traffic situations. On the day of the test, remember to use your seat belt, obey all instructions from the examiner, and remain calm. Passing your road test is an important step toward obtaining your driver license, and being well‑prepared will help ensure success.
The DMV apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the relocation and encourages affected customers to check the DMV’s cancellations, closings, and delays page for the most up‑to‑date information. For questions, call the DMV or visit the agency’s website. By planning ahead and arriving at the Peekskill Road Test Site on time with all necessary documents, applicants can complete their test as scheduled and move one step closer to becoming licensed drivers.
