DA Form 6125. Road Test Score Sheet

The DA Form 6125, also known as the Road Test Score Sheet, is a document used by the United States Army to evaluate and record the driving skills and abilities of military personnel. The main purpose of this form is to determine whether an individual is qualified to operate a motor vehicle for official use.

This form consists of several parts that need to be completed during the road test. It includes fields such as personal information of the driver, the type of vehicle being operated, the date and location of the road test, and a score sheet to record the driver's performance during the test. The score sheet has different categories such as steering, braking, gear shifting, traffic observation, and overall impression, which are rated on a scale of one to five.

The parties involved in this form are the driver being tested and the evaluating officer. It is important for both parties to carefully review and fill out all required fields to ensure accuracy and completeness of the form. When filling out the form, the driver must provide their personal information, vehicle details, and sign the certification statement at the end. Additionally, the evaluating officer needs to provide a detailed evaluation of the driver’s performance and sign the form as well.

When filling out the DA Form 6125, the driver will need to provide their driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance. These documents are required to verify the driver’s eligibility to operate a motor vehicle.

An example of when this form may be used is during a military deployment where driving is necessary for transportation purposes. This form ensures that only qualified individuals are operating military vehicles, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Strengths of this form include its clear structure and guidelines for evaluating driving skills. Weaknesses may include subjectivity in evaluating certain categories and potential biases from the evaluating officer.

Alternative forms that may be used include state-specific driver evaluation forms or employer-specific forms for commercial drivers. The main difference between these forms is the specific criteria used to evaluate driving skills and abilities.

The results of this form can impact the future of the driver being tested, as it determines whether or not they are permitted to operate military vehicles. This can affect their job duties and opportunities for advancement within the military.

Once completed, the DA Form 6125 is submitted to the appropriate military unit for storage in the driver’s personnel file.
