I was just wondering which states require you to bring your own vehicle
to take a behind-the-wheel driving test.  Also, what do people do if
they don't have a vehicle they can bring and no one will lend theirs?

The answer is simple.  First call your DMV and find out if they can
provide a car for the testing and if so if it will be free or at
additional cost.  If not your other option is to rent a car.  If you
can not find someone to rent a car to you than have a friend rent it
under his/her name and pay them the money right away before you forget.
Cash is best as it's not traceable.  Try Thrifty, Budget, Hertz, and
all other car rental companies.  The compact cars are the cheapest to
rent and the easiest to drive.  Drive the car for at least 100 miles
first in city traffic in order to get the hang of it first before
taking the behind the wheel test.

<spit take> Be sure to give your correct name so they can identify you
as the most complete idiot they've ever heard of when you arrive to use
your state-provided car.

Then, when you're finished with that waste of time, go get a f.cking
job and credit card.

Do you pay cash for everything?  Why are you worried that your credit
card company will know you rented a car?

And how are you going to rent a car without a license in the first place?

Oddly enough, now that you mention it, the last two times I rented a car
from (two different) major U.S. rental car companies, I did not have to
produce a driver's license, just a credit card.  -Dave

IME a credit card is necessary to rent a car. Probably has to do with
the insurance included with it.

I don't think so.  All the rental car agencies try to push their own,
way-overpriced insurance on you, even if you tell them up front that you
want to decline it.  They specifically do NOT want you to tell them that
your credit card covers rental car insurance.  -Dave

Pennsylvania, for one.  Don't know how you'd get around it; nobody would
rent you one if you didn't already have a license.

I wonder if one of the many driving schools would let you take the test
in their car.

It's been a number of years since my kid took her test, and I don't
remember if they checked my licence, but they did check the registration
and ins.

When I've taken drivers to take their CDL test, they do check my licence
(presumably to make sure I'm licenced to drive that vehicle).

So, is the only real practical solution to get someone from a driving
school?  Can someone recommend one?

Not at all.

If none of your friends trust your driving enough to let you borrow
one of their cars, you can always buy one yourself. A driver's license
is NOT required to purchase a car.

But it is to drive one.  Leaves a beginner up the creek.   Risk a
ticket by driving to the test station?  Have someone drive him there?
I have run into some real behind the counter dips at government
offices.  One threatened to take my license because I used a cane
(temporary) to get in the office to renew.  This after just renewing
with no question a -very- old man who had problems even handling the
paperwork.

Well DUH! I assume that even if the OP cannot find a friend who will
risk his own car, he has at least one friend who won't mind giving the
OP a ride in the OP's own car as there is no risk of damage to the
friend's car.
