<p>I need a CA liscence to work at campus cruiser, and a supervisor told me that all I need to do is take a written test at the DMV and show them my current liscence. Is there a DMV near campus, or do I need to go to the LA county court house (wherever that is)?</p>
<p>Wow, they don't accept driver's licenses from other states? Didn't know that. </p>
<p>Will California issue licenses to out-of-state residents? I've never heard of someone having licenses from multiple states.</p>
<p>There's a DMV right next to campus! Google</a> map.</p>
<p>I walked to it to fix the misspelled name on mine. Really easy to get to!</p>
<p>You don't need it if you are normal oos student because you still technically aren't californian citizen and citizen of whatever state you came from... (learned this in drivers ed long ago.. ho ho)i think he needs it to drive the campus cruiser though.</p>
<p>My bro however, did receive a new york drivers license and he wasn't a citizen (he goes to school there) so i guess you can still get it without being that state citizen.. maybe the other one from another state becomes invalid?</p>
<p>The campus cruiser supervisor i contacted said i could just take a test to get one, and I would doubt I would loose my Montana liscence</p>
<p>And thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Unless you want to work for campus cruiser, most out-of-state students do not need a California driver's license. However, you may want a California ID card (looks almost exactly like a license, gets your info on file), especially when you turn 21 or if you are a smoker. A lot of the local grocery/liquor stores have stopped accepting out-of-state licenses for age id, because some states use paper IDs which are easy to fake. Getting a California ID card lets you keep your home-state license, but makes things a bit easier for the day to day stuff.</p>
<p>will they give you a work-study job as a driver for campus cruiser if you're a freshman? i mean...i'll still be 17 and on my provisional until October 31...but after that could i take the job?</p>
<p>You do have to be 18 to work there</p>
<p>You're still on provisional? I got my full liscence at 15</p>
<p>i was late on the whole drivers' ed thing...long story. short story...took drivers' ed first quarter of my senior year, got my permit...six months later, here's my license. California driving laws for minors have gotten pretty strict...it's a drag.</p>
<p>Well, CA laws won't let me bring a car my first year. I have to put a new engine in it so it will pass emissions regulations</p>
<p>I think there's some confusion on terminology. Here's how it is (or was, when I took driver's ed)</p>
<p>In california you are eligible (under certain rules) to get a provisional permit that lets you drive with an adult 25+ yrs. At 15 1/2 the rules expand a little bit.</p>
<p>Then, at 16 you are eligible to take the driver test and get a provisional <em>license</em> which lets you drive alone or with other people, and there are heavy restrictions(on the hours you can drive and the other people in the car) for the first 6 months. The restrictions are lightened a bit after 6 months and again after 1 year.</p>
<p>However you still do not recieve your true, permanent CA drivers license until you are 18 (it is automatic even if your license still has the "provisional" label on it)</p>
<p>Part of the "provisional" license is that you cannot recieve payment for driving as work. Dunno how that applies to work-study but I'd imagine it does.</p>
<p>the permit part is right...but the provisional part of the license has been changing quite a bit lately, getting more strict specifically...paraphrasing off the license i just got a few days ago:</p>
<p>until 18, in the first 12 months, no passengers under 20 and can't drive between the hours of 1100 PM and 500 AM without a parent/other driver as specified in such and such section</p>
<p>given i wont be 18 for a while...can i not apply the job for those first few months, then apply once i am? i'm really intrigued by this job, i'd really like to do this... </p>
<p>and i've been hearing many horror stories about the engineer's workload (and i'm planning on minoring, 24 units)--is there time to (sanely) do work-study?</p>
<p>It's tough to predict how the workload affects you. Sure some people crash but others somehow seem to manage. Honestly, it is a very different style of workload that most incoming students are used to and results can be suprising how people react (positively and negatively).</p>
<p>So just don't overdo your 1st semester. Forget about cramming in the minor for now. Just schedule your GE's and major classes comfortably and see how it works out. If you manage it ok, then you start adding in minors etc.</p>
<p>Just remember that - theres no reason to push yourself right now. Start nice and easy and with what you know you'll be fine in, and you will be fine, even with work study.</p>
