English translation:handling test required
Explanation:
I don't disagree with patinba's answer, but I feel (a) this is a bit more concise and (b) the Spanish says "handling". "Driving test" might put people off - "handling test" probably consists of two minutes driving round in circles.

neutral  ross torres: handling to me seems odd,although it works etymologically speaking, I haven't seen it used in this context i.e. concerning the operation of vehicles. nor do I see it as necessarily being related to the driver's license

Subject to a (safety) control/aptitude test


Explanation:
I still believe, as others do, this is a test run by the operators to find out if someone can drive and control a quad safely. Some examples:

"All our guests can be subjected to an aptitude test to check their ability riding on their own."
http://www.quad-adventure-cambodia.com/faq.php
Campers entering the 6th grade and up are eligible to participate in the ATV
"Quad Riding Program
subject to a control test. Administered by the Quad Riding staff, this test will determine the camper’s ability to safely manage the
quad and understand its operation."
http://www.lakegreeley.com/forms/2015/Quads 2015.pdf
SAFETY TEST: Campers will be given a Safety Control Test
to determine their ability to manage the quad and understand
its operation.

agree  ross torres: this is clearly best translation as it is concise and is used often in this context. it doesn't imply anything about the intensity of the test as other posters have been concerned with
