CAN YOU GET DRIVING PERMIT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND YOU A GOOD DRIVER BUT YOU 14 YEAR OLD
About getting a driver's license
By: Drivers.com staff
Date: Tuesday, 06. June 2006
What is involved in getting a driver's license? There's no straightforward answer to that question. It depends on where you live and whether you already hold a driver's license for another jurisdiction.
For new drivers there is normally an age requirement (usually 16 or 17 years in the USA and Canada). There is also a medical check, which is usually a simple vision test to see if your eyes have the minimum capability. And most places have a road test, to see if you can actually drive a vehicle well enough to operate in traffic.
Those are the basics. But the details of getting a drivers license vary from place to place around the world. Countries such as Germany and Japan start drivers at a later age (18 years in Germany) and have rigorous training and education requirements. And there are still places where getting a driver's license is as simple as applying for a permit to practice on public roads, waiting a few days, and then taking a very simple road test which may consist of little more than a drive around the block.
Getting tougher
However, with today's busy traffic and high-powered automobiles, there is far less tolerance for incompetent drivers. States, provinces, and countries are, one-by-one, opting for licensing systems that check new drivers more thoroughly and require them to obtain license privileges gradually. In Canada's province of Ontario, for example, new drivers can get a learner permit at age 16 years, but their driving must be supervised by a qualified licensed driver for the first year (eight months if taking a driver education program), and learners must pass a second road test within five years in order to get full license privileges.
Whatever the official requirements, every aspiring driver should have his or her own personal requirements. After all, it's your life, your license, and your future that are at stake. So why not set out your own requirements so you can plan ahead? Here are some suggestions.
Steps to getting a license
The official steps or requirements are about age, vision tests, and road tests. However, there's another way to look at steps, and there are steps you can start on at an earlier age! We will discuss this later, but first here's a suggested list of steps for young people who are approaching driving age:
- Be ready!
- Reach minimum age
- Prepare for theory test if one is required in your area
- Organize practice time with a co-driver
- Obtain documentation (birth certificate, identification documents, etc.)
- Obtain a learner's permit
- Study, train, and practice for the behind-the-wheel road test
- Successfully complete road test
- Do the paperwork (and plan your driving future)
Seems complicated, doesn't it? But these are the steps that drivers typically complete in order to qualify as fully licensed drivers. It doesn't pay to short-circuit any of them!
1-Be ready.
People are different. You don't have to get a license just because you've reached the minimum age! Many perfectly normal teens postpone driving for a variety of reasons: they're too busy, they don't feel they want to, they don't feel ready. It's your choice.
Getting a driver's license has often been described as a "rite of passage" to adulthood, and it is. Driving is not for children! When the minimum driving age is 16 years it comes at a very interesting time in your life-when you are part adult, but still part child. There are lots of advantages in being a child a bit longer.
Taking on the burden of responsibility, for your life and the lives of others, is a huge part of getting a driver's license. But young people like to have fun. Oprah Winfrey demonstrated on her television show a few years ago that even the most responsible teens can get a little crazy behind the wheel when they're with friends, and when parents are nowhere in sight. Having fun with friends is normal for a 16-year-old. But fun while driving can create dangerous situations. So dangerous, in fact, that many jurisdictions are introducing "graduated licensing systems" that restrict circumstances in which teenaged novice drivers can drive. Examples include parts of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA, where longer "learner" periods and restrictions on passenger carrying and night driving are becoming common.
2-Minimum age.
In parts of the world where automobiles and driving are necessities, driving ages tend to be lower. For example in rural U.S. states such as Arkansas, Arizona, and Iowa, the minimum age to get a learner's permit (at the time of writing - Dec. 2000) is 14 years. In Connecticut, Washington D.C., and New Jersey it's 16 years. The age for full licensing in Arkansas is 16 years, but in Massachusetts it's 18 years. Also, many states require that a learner's permit, which requires supervised driving, must be held for a suitable period before full licensing privileges can be granted. A state may require anything from a few days to 180 days (for example, New Jersey). Ontario has a minimum age of 16 years for a learner's permit, and a minimum period of 20 months before a new driver can get a full license.
3-Prepare for theory test if one is required in your area.
Most places now require novice drivers to pass a knowledge test, and this is a part of the licensing process which you can start early, even a year or more before reaching licensing age. But don't rely completely on information from friends and family members - they might be wrong. Most places have an official "Driver's Handbook" which is often given out free or at low cost. Throughout the USA and Canada there are only minor differences in traffic and driving rules from state to state and province to province. The state of Florida has an excellent driver's handbook you can read for free.
4-Organize practice time and a co-driver.
You've got to practice. This means convincing parents, family members, or friends that you are ready. The first three steps go a long way towards achieving this. For more detail read our " Learning to drive: a guide for parents" online booklet. This was first published in 1985 and has been used by school boards, driving schools, and major web sites such as CNN.
5-Obtain documentation.
Information about documents you require will be provided in your local driver's handbook. This typically includes proof of date of birth and something that positively identifies you such as a passport or other personal identification document that includes a photograph.
6-Obtain a learner's permit.
A "learner's permit" is usually required before you can practice driving on public roadways. It will have certain restrictions attached to it (depending on where you live). Many jurisdictions require you to drive with a learner's permit for a certain period of time before you can apply for a full license. You'll find a link to requirements for U.S. states in our licensing section.
7-Study, train, and practice.
Our "Guide for parents" booklet has lots of hints on this. But a word of warning! One of the biggest criticisms of licensing systems is that they only qualify drivers to drive, they don't require a thorough preparation for dealing with modern traffic conditions. This is true. A good professional training program will show you how much farther you can take your driving skills as you train and practice, even after licensing.
8-Successfully complete the road test.
Most people think of this as the toughest part: but it's not, as long as you prepare properly. You need to understand what driver examiners are looking for. The best source for this information is your professional instructor.
Nervousness is a big problem too. Some beginners get very nervous, and driver examiners understand this so they may make allowances for it. Examiners probably worry more about over-confidence, which can be dangerous. Passing the test is NEVER guaranteed, no matter how good you are. Things can go wrong and it may not even be your fault. Sometimes things happen in traffic that even a highly experienced driver might have difficulty dealing with.
So don't put a lot of pressure on yourself to pass (for example, telling everyone at school you're taking the test tomorrow and you'll definitely pass it!).
9-Do the paperwork (and plan your driving future).
This will be described in your local driver's handbook. Remember, once you've got that piece of paper in your hand you've completed the first stage of becoming an accomplished driver. Now comes the part that most experts agree is the most difficult and dangerous - building driving habits.
Here's an important piece of advice: during the first few critical years of building driving habits you will probably build as many bad ones as good ones. Constantly search for the bad ones and catch them before they catch you.
The bad ones will be things you get away with so you think they're OK. You may not even be aware of them but they'll be there, waiting to catch you out. If you're lucky, being 'caught out' will be a mere "incident" - someone honking their horn at you, or a near-miss where you just manage to avoid a crash. If you are unlucky it could be anything from a "fender bender" to a serious collision involving injury or death.
Hardly anyone escapes these expensive lessons in driving. The best way to do so is to be "proactive"; that is, to continually work to improve your driving techniques and habits.

Hey, So i am turning 16 next monday and I recently transferred to a new school so I missed the sophomore Drivers Ed class. Right now I am a Junior and I thought the process of getting a permit is studying the handbook and then setting an apointment and going on your birthday to the DMV and take the written test? I am extremely confused what do I do!!!

i have a permit and i know i have to wait six months till i get my license. but as soon as i do my behind the wheel does my six months of waiting start then? or whenever they said i could get it?
El Calderon, on Tuesday, 08. November 2011 at 10:34 PM
Abby- assuming you live in the states,
read the drivers manual,learn the rules of the road, pass your permit test, spend hours driving and gaining confidence, and schedule your road test.
Abby, on Tuesday, 08. November 2011 at 10:23 PM
I just want to,go get my drivers licence what d do i need to do first....besides learning to drive
El Calderon, on Tuesday, 08. November 2011 at 10:04 PM
Some of these questions are a little redundant no offense. For a license,which I got over a year ago, no matter how old you are, in the US you will always be required to get a permit first before you want a shot at the driver's license. No permit no license opportunity. BTW in NYC(not including Manhattan) its pretty standard to own a car,not all that media hype that NYC has a great mass transit, thats bulls*it,I live here,hated using it so I know what I mean.

Rebecca, on Wednesday, 26. October 2011 at 08:59 PM
Do you need to do a driving test with a driving school before you can send your learner's book away to get it approved? I've done over 100 hours and have friends that didn't have to do a lesson and they have their p's. So I'm confused if i have to do the lesson or not.

Do you have to have car insurance when you get your license even if you not driving. for example once I take my driving test and past do I have to have car insurance already before you let me sign the paper saying I have my license in cleveland ohio?
mel, on Tuesday, 25. October 2011 at 02:22 PM

Ive had a Fl Dl before but moved to PA and switched it to there 5 months ago. I passed everything with fine colors. Now Ive moved back to Fl and want to get my license switched back. Do I need to go to the DMV and retake the eye exam or will they wave it due to me passing such a short time ago?
Reece, on Thursday, 13. October 2011 at 09:38 PM
I am 19 of age I took the driver's ed class when i was 15 and i received the paper to get my permit but, i didn't want to do that. Now that I moved to a different state I want to know do I have to get a permit to drive. That would defeat the purpose of me waiting until I was 18 or older....

Jess, on Monday, 26. September 2011 at 11:54 PM
The people on here need to learn to spell before they get their driver's license. At least articulate yourselves properly if you're going to ask questions.

Complicated question: I'm Swedish living in Europe with my American husband. He works for the american embassy here in Belgium and I live under his status but I'm not yet an american citizen and I've never lived in the US. Would it be possible at all for me to obtain an American licence when not a citizen or live there but just married to an American citizen?
Thanks

jill, on Monday, 15. August 2011 at 04:50 PM
If you are 18 years old do you take a different written drivers test? If so how many questions is it and how many can you miss?
Annie, on Saturday, 13. August 2011 at 02:50 AM
Lassy, I think it can depend on the state your in. I know in California, it may be 3 times or so, then you have to wait a period of time. If you fail, you also have to pay a retake fee. Cathy, in my opinion, I don't think you are too strict. A lot of teen driver's tend to get a little over excited when their friend's are with them. Especially the ones who get their license's early or right when they get it. That may cause accidents here and there. Even for the responsible drivers.
Antonio, on Saturday, 13. August 2011 at 02:47 AM
But that's just for the license. The DMV may ask questions about that one.
Antonio, on Saturday, 13. August 2011 at 02:45 AM
To Bob -
I do not think you have to get your permit again after you are licensed. They would just change your card figure and information to their state's model. It may last a few days or so, or maybe even the same day.
bob, on Tuesday, 09. August 2011 at 01:00 PM

Currently 24 and getting ready to get my license in Illinois since I will be living in the state full-time again beginning in late summer 2011. I currently carry a for-hire chauffeur license in Missouri, where I currently spend the other half of the year as a resident.
Since I have had this part-time residency for the past two years (and IL Driver Services haven't complained about it), will I have to retake the written and/or driving tests (despite having seven years of driving experience under my belt)?

I am 19yrs old. I live in the state of texas.I want to learn how to drive and therefore I want to take driving lessons. To my understanding you need to have a permit or take a class to get adult driving classes. Is this true? If not what are the steps?

Falcon, on Thursday, 04. November 2010 at 05:08 AM
The only reason i'm posting here is because i'm from Manitoba and over the weekend a drunk 17 year old was speeding and texting shot through a red and killed 2 people. Because of this MADD wants to raise the drinking age to 21 (no big) and make it 10 years before new drivers get their full licence which I find rediculous. I just got my licence not so long ago and have seen my share of bad driving and believe me i've seen alot worse than young inexperianced drivers. why should we suffer? that is all....

Peyton, on Wednesday, 25. August 2010 at 03:49 PM
Great info! I hear in the US many states will move toward 18 as the age to get a license.
You didn't mention car insurance. A lot of parents assume it'll cost an arm and leg to insure Junior, but that's not always the case. Here's some good info: http://www.cheapercarinsurance.com/definitions/good-student-discount/

Drivers.com staff, on Saturday, 02. January 2010 at 12:06 PM
Robert, the answer depends on where you are located. However, if you go here
http://drivershandbook.com
you will find links to the official licensing websites of all U.S. States and Canadian provinces, and some others as well.
Usually there are provisions for such things as needing glasses, medications, etc.
Also check out our list of associations under training ( http://www.drivers.com/topic/121/ ) . They can help. Check out the ADED site for rehab specialists if you need that.

admin, on Friday, 10. July 2009 at 02:34 PM
Emie, you are in an awkward position. However, you can NOT drive alone on a learner's permit. You would be driving without a license and without insurance. The consequences could be serious.
I suggest a) taling to your local licensing office and b) talking to a driving school which may be able to help.
for more, email us at PDE@DRIVERS.COM

Admin, on Tuesday, 14. April 2009 at 11:10 PM
That depends on where you live and what kind of licensing system.
Once you get a full license you can drive passengers straight away. However, a graduated license system may allow you to drive solo but with some restrictions on passengers in the stages.
For example, In Ontario you can drive with passengers once you pass your G1 test and get to the G2 stage.

yup i from new zealand, im movin to canada mid 09, do i have to resit my truck and car licenses or can i get em swapped over by proving i can drive the vehicles my license states??
candie girl, on Thursday, 22. January 2009 at 12:59 PM
I think all drivers should be at least 16 because they have a chance to see the world and be happy and there moms can have some mom time if you know what i mean :P
me, on Tuesday, 13. January 2009 at 08:01 PM
i am turning 18 in 4 months should i wait till im 18 to get my license or should i apply for a restricted one. The only problem is i have to drive with an licensed adult for 12 months i think and if i wait untill im 18 i can drive by myself right away. What should i do? or is there any way i can get my restricted now and not have to wait 12 months just wait until i am 18 to get my real lisence?
Walter H., on Monday, 12. January 2009 at 10:16 PM
W.
you won't be able to rent a car for the test so your only option is a driving school car. Most schools will offer a package deal with some practice time and the test (if they feel you are ready!)
W, on Monday, 12. January 2009 at 05:45 PM
I was offered a job that involves driving someone else's company car; however, I myself do not own an auto, so how can I get a dl without my own vehicle?

Pinky,You don't say what where you live. For guidance information go to www.drivershandbook.com which has licensing information for the U.S., Canada and seveal other countries.
if you are in Ontario, go here:
http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/renewal.htm
Here's what it says about renewing G1;
"These classes of licences are not renewable upon expiry. Approximately six months prior to the expiry date of the licence a Notice of Novice Driver's Licence Expiry will be mailed to the driver to the last address registered on the ministry's database. This notice will detail the level achieved, and what options the driver has to re-qualify or exit the graduated licensing system.
A novice driver whose licence has been expired must reapply as a new driver and pass the required tests (vision, knowledge, road tests)."
pinky, on Tuesday, 18. November 2008 at 01:49 PM

It's really hard to find a good manual shift driving school since many of the instructors teaching manual don't really know much about it.
I know of one school that does have a very high quality course and it's in Toronto.Check them out. I know they get students from across North America.

You can practice off the road, under supervision of course. Most places highway traffic acts apply to pubic roads.Lots o fkids learn on farms at a much earlier age ... but watch out. there's lots of bad accidents on farms.

I've been trying to pass my road test to get a class 5 license, but they keep failing me for stupid mistakes, mostly shoulder checks and scans. I find it really pathetic how I have to pay a price for so many stupid people who either look the wrong way or don't look at all on the road. 90 percent of them don't deserve to drive. Any advice?

Meg, on Thursday, 27. March 2008 at 08:06 PM
Ontario - I failed my G2 exit test which i booked after the expiry date. So i lost my license. I am looking to begin the process again. My examiner said something about having to start at the beginning but not having to go through the wait time between tests? does anyone know more about this???

I am 18 years old I am from Spokane, Washington and took me a while to get my license but the only thing that really stinks is that when you get your license you can't drive any of your friends in the car for 6 months with you unless you have a parent or someone older than 21 years of age in the car with you. then you can have friends in the car. But after 6 months you can have your friends in the and it is so much fun!!

Residency requirements for Ontario license?
Originally from Ontario, nine years ago I moved abroad from Alberta and am still a non-resident of Canada. Alberta has a residency requirement for their driver's licenses therefore I was not able to renew it so I obtained a license from the country I was in.
I've recently moved to another country and am considering an Ontario license as it is my birth province.
Does anyone know if Ontario has a similar residency requirement as Alberta, or whether a non-resident can obtain a license?
Thanks

Hi, I recently failed my G1 written test (14/20). I was using my dad's old handbook and there were some signs that I was totally unawared of. I got the new one that just came out. Can someone enlighten me on how long I have to wait in order to retake it and how much I have to pay for retake(s) :p . I already paid the full $125 for both tests and 5 yr licenscing. Thanks!

I am 17 i don't turn 18 for another 10 months!! it is so hard trying to get to and from school, and work especially when you dont have a license, and have never been issued a learners permit. Is there ANYTHING at all that i can do? can i somehow get a "restricted" license to drive to and from work/school without a permit? what about a motorcycle? can i do anything?

I'm 18, almost 19, found out I'm pregnant, and need to get my driver's license in a quicky. I've taken driving courses locally in the past, having 30 hr of classroom experience and 6-hr drive with an instructor experience. Unfortunately, the test in Indiana is strict and requires, you can only miss 3 questions at most and the test is 50 questions. I'm having trouble passing thr written test. What would you guys recommend for me? I'm stressed and depressed, and people tell me not to be stressed out, since I'm pregnant, its not good for the kid.
Eddie, on Friday, 18. May 2007 at 03:16 PM

Hello everyone,
Just a quick question for those who live in California (or to those who just may be knowledgeable in the subject).
I'm going to apply for my license in June(by then, I'll be 17 1/2). However, I'm going to turn 18 in December. Once I turn 18, will I be allowed to drive anyone under 25 or will I still have to obide by the rule until my year is up?
Thanks!

I despair. Most of you should not be allowed on the road. Ever. Its as simple as that. Unless I've made a terrible mistake and stumbled across a 'special' thread for 'special' people (i.e. retards).
Inability to formulate a logical thought, ask a clear question, spell monosyllabic words, construct a grammatically correct sentence or find answers to the most simple of queries ought to automatically disqualify you from even being allowed to sit your learner's test. Good luck, and please try not to kill anyone out there.

Eric, on Monday, 09. April 2007 at 05:51 PM
Kristie, like I said in my comment of July 06 above, you'll be nervous so don't worry. Driving test examiners expect it. If you are not nervous there's a chance examiners will be tougher with you because they think you're over confident.
So - like I said before, start off slower than your normal speed and gradually work up to it.That way you are less likely to make mistakes and you will gain confidence as you drive.
By the end of the test the examiner will have forgotten you were too slow at the beginning.
kristie, on Monday, 09. April 2007 at 08:31 AM

Robert, on Sunday, 18. February 2007 at 12:16 PM
Hey everyone I took my drivers test a long time ago in September and I failed it. I herd that it was going to be simple...unfortunatly its no. To everyone who is going to get there g1 you HAVE to study for it I didnt study for it and I got almost all of them wrong. My dad said that all the governement cares about is our safety and others safety. So if there is a qustion on the test (wich this is an actualy quastion) if there is this qustion it says "What do you have to look for when you are about to make a U turn?" A:The Curb B:On coming traffic C:Mirrors. All of these sound right...right? Well like I said the driver people only want to make sure you know that you have to be aware of the people around you. So ti would be A because they dont care if you mess your tire up on the curb. The answer is actually B: Look out for on coming traffic, All im saying is that these qustions are very hard they arnt meant to trick you but they are ment so that you can use common scence and no get killed or kill anyone. So before you go STUDY YOU CANT PASS WITH OUT STUDYING. Im going to re-take my G1 on Friday Im praying to god I passit and If I do I will let you all know:D. Btw If you fail the first test for the g1. You have a year to re-take it until you have to pay $125.00 A retake in CANADA is only $10.00 Good luck to everyone and please DONT DRINK AND DRIVE. Arrive allive=)

Thank you
P.S. Just some advice to some of you on here; learn to speel and write a sentence Im 16 and my grammar is better than yours, if this is how our generation is now, imagine how things will be in 20-30 years when we are over this country. It will be a mess if people liek you guys can't even spell the word permit right.

Hi I have a full UK license and my family and I are intent on moving to Saskatchewan Canada. the only problem we have is the fact that my wife doesn't drive at the moment and would like some information on driving license fee's and tests & regulations for new learners in Canada
Brian, on Saturday, 06. January 2007 at 07:31 PM
living in Ontario, and have been riding motorcycle for over 20 yrs. I know I can drive a car holding this license, with a passenger holding a valid G license for 4 yrs. or more. My question is I'm thinking of getting my D or DZ license ..do I have to take my G1 first or can I go right to the D.?
Thanks..

I am 40 and my Alabama driver's license expired in oct 2006. I am living in Mexico now (Job) and need a renewal. Can I get a license without a permanent residence in the U.S.?
Adam, on Friday, 05. January 2007 at 10:10 AM
To Ontario: I have a colleague at work that had the same problem he went for his G2 test but failed right at the date of expiry... what will end up happening is that they will re-test you for the G1 road test in order to get you back to G2 level.

well i want to drive a motorcycle really really bad (at learners age) and my parents say learn to drive a car first, but if i do get my motorcycles license first do i still have to take the the written exam for when i start to learn how to drive a car or vice versa?

To Joe and Sam,.
Joe -- We have links to various state licensing organizations at http://www.drivers.com/article/639/. We checked Pennsylvania and found the following at
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/teenDriversCenter/
obtainingLearnersPermit.shtml ---"The Learner's Permit will be valid for one year. If you are under age 18, a six-month waiting period and 50 hours behind the wheel driving experience is required prior to taking the skills test." So if you are 19 you likely don't need the 6-month wait.
To Sam -- Don't know of a test online but the Drivers Handbook for Ontario has one ..http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/
english/dandv/driver/handbook/index.html
Or
you could go to http://www.Drivershandbook.com and find a test for another province or state. This site links to online Driver Manuals and some may have tests. The questions are very similar from one jurisdiction to another.

sam, on Wednesday, 03. January 2007 at 03:07 PM
i was wondering if anyone knew a website where there are free practise examinations for your G1...
Joe, on Wednesday, 03. January 2007 at 05:17 AM
I'm 19 and I have yet to receive my permet. I was just wondering how long I would have to wait in order to obtain a license after I get my permit since I am over age. I live in Pennsylvania and I can't find the information I need anywhere.
Ontario, on Friday, 29. December 2006 at 10:54 PM
Message from Ontario, I will be going for my G test, any tips, I'm really nervous, Has any one ever increased the time of expiry on their G2, I feel as though I need more time. I have one month before my G2 expires.

Connie, on Wednesday, 15. November 2006 at 07:57 AM
You can find the Drivers Handbook for ontario at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/
english/dandv/driver/handbook/contents.htm
It should be there. I think its 75%

i am 18 and have no permit,how do i get a license
ummm....me, on Saturday, 04. November 2006 at 11:16 PM
Hi I have a problem at hand. I have my G1 at Canada but am having trouble getting my G2. I had been driving for almost 15 years back home and here things simply do not seem to click. I have given the test 3 times and felt that the last two times I was not at fault at all. But just because of some small problem or something, the license got rejected. I have simply given up and lost all hope to get a G2. Can you suggest some thing? I have taken training so am entitled to give the test within 8 months.
whitney, on Friday, 03. November 2006 at 07:53 PM
okay.. so i have been doing alot of looking on the internet to find the answer to my question but nothing will answer it. I am 17 i don't turn 18 for another 10 months!! it is so hard trying to get to and from school, and work especially when you dont have a license, and have never been issued a learners permit. Is there ANYTHING at all that i can do? can i somehow get a "restricted" license to drive to and from work/school without a permit? what about a motorcycle? can i do anything?
Unknown again..., on Friday, 27. October 2006 at 02:58 PM
This is for Cory....I hope you actually paid attention to that so-called person who was telling you how to do it right.....
Unknown, on Friday, 27. October 2006 at 02:56 PM
An earlier comment stated is so correct....I'm somewhat worried that there are not too many young people here that can actually spell properly, let alone, form a proper sentence....and these people are getting drivers licenses. It seems that young people today are too much in a hurry, and cannot take the time to do something right, such as properly learning how to drive, and READ...that's right...READ. It's amazing what you can learn when you READ!! I hope they can read the signs on our roadways. As for many of the questions they're asking, if they didn't spend so much time on the internet doing something they shouldn't, and spent some actual value added time doing some research to answer their silly little questions, then I think there would be some hope. Getting your drivers license gives you a sense of freedom, but for God's sake, take the time to learn properly and with good instruction from a certified instructor. There are too many deaths on the road these days, with racing and just total inexperience. PAY ATTENTION KIDS!!
Devyn, on Wednesday, 25. October 2006 at 11:19 AM
How much is the training book you need in canada and how much is the test?
ranell, on Tuesday, 24. October 2006 at 06:56 PM
i have taken parent taught driver's education. i have past the written part of the test. i was told that if passed that i would have to take the driving part. Also i have lost the permit. What should i do?
cory, on Thursday, 19. October 2006 at 01:54 PM
it is very fun to drive with out someone telling you how to do it right
Gary, on Thursday, 12. October 2006 at 10:49 PM
Also to Sara
I don't know what part of the world you are in but it WOULD be a good idea to follow up. There could be identity theft involved!
Richard, on Wednesday, 11. October 2006 at 07:57 PM
To Sara:
Dumb question: Did you ever think of calling the DMV and asking what happened to your license. Bureaucracies are always making mistakes and you need to check. Get used to it.
Elena, on Tuesday, 10. October 2006 at 09:51 PM
hi all of you.I am from Romania and I want know how much is valid a drive license in Florida!!!I have visa for 6 months,can I get drive license longer??1 year,2....???I know in Maryland is 5 years(doesn't mater my visa),but I heard in Florida is 1 year!!That's true?
thanks !!!
Dan - Drivers.com, on Saturday, 16. September 2006 at 07:19 PM
Ines,
If you are getting scared it means you are taking on too much at any partiuclar time. You need an instructor who can break down your learning into manageable bits that you can master before going on to the next challenge. This way you will gain confidence.
A bad instructor can do you a lot of harm. A good one will build your confidence. If you need help finding a good instructor I suggest you go to wither the Driving School Association of the Americas web site or the American Driver and Traffic Education Association web site and enquire. You will find these associations here ...http://www.drivers.com/topic/121/
Ines, on Saturday, 16. September 2006 at 02:18 PM
I am 18 and i dont know how to drive i am learning but i get so scared and i dont think i will ever get it. And in a few months iam starding a new job i have to drive what can i do?
Danny, on Friday, 15. September 2006 at 06:36 PM
I Just passed my Florida Learners test and am waiting to go to the DMV to have the vision and hearing tests before i pick it up.
But I was wondering how the restrictions would affect me (being 24, from the UK) All the restrictions were for 16, 17 or 18 yr olds. How long would I have to hold the learners permit for before being able to do the practical test?
What are the time restrictions i.e. only allowed to drive between certain times of the day?
and
Is there another theory/written test before I can pass and obtain my full licence??
Thanks in advance for any hints!! :o)
Ps. I done my learning/test at lowestpricetrafficschool.com
sara, on Sunday, 03. September 2006 at 12:51 AM
ok, I am 17. I passed my drivers test and got that blue paper that my instructor gave me which is proof that I passed. The validation date was august 5, 2006. It expires november 5th. so technically I can drive alone but I still didn't reciece that paper in the mail from that tells me when I should pick it up. It's been almost a month and still I have no license. When my sister got her license, she only had to wait 3 days from her validation date to receive her license and BOOM she had it. I was wondering is it normal to wait that long? I am getting quite frustrated and I need to drive to school!
an employee, on Friday, 01. September 2006 at 11:16 AM
A G1 drivers license in Ontario costs $125.00; $10. - written test
40. - 1st level road test
75. - 5 year licensing fee
If you are unsuccessful you pay the $10.00 written test fee for a rewrite. Identification requirements have changed so make sure you take the appropriate identification with you...Study the handbook, and Good Luck!

im 18 and i want to get my driver licenses but i dont have a permit nor alot of training i have to go to school and take my little brother to school then i have to go to work and were do i begin? wanted to know do i have to take some kind of class?
Dan, on Tuesday, 25. July 2006 at 10:34 AM
Santhosh,
In the U.S. each state has its own driver licensing system, so there is no U.S. driver license. Go to this page -
http://www.drivers.com/topic/62/
Check out the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators for general info about all of the U.S. and residency requirements for getting a driver's licence. Got to State DMVs for local info.
If you have a license from another country then get an International Driver's Licence before you come. Check this out at http://www.drivers.com/topic/59/
The IDL is an internationaly accepted version of your home license and is NOT a license in itself.
Santhosh, on Tuesday, 25. July 2006 at 06:31 AM
I got my L1 visa and I am planning to come to US by august second week. I would like to know can I apply for a US driving license if so what are the requirements for the same.
Eric, on Wednesday, 19. July 2006 at 10:55 PM
to Bebe - not sure what you mean by great driver but I've been teaching driving for years and I know how that works. You get nervous the first time and don't perform, then the second time you are more nervous and so on.
My advice - start your test off slowly, a bit too slow perhaps, and then as you get into it you can pick up to normal speed. The examiner will forget you were too slow at the beginning.
This has worked for a lot of my students.
James, on Monday, 17. July 2006 at 05:26 PM
What is the vision requiraments to get your drivers license?
bebe, on Wednesday, 12. July 2006 at 09:23 PM
