<p>I live in NYC. Can I take the driving road test at a different state?</p>
<p>If you want a license from a different state…</p>
<p>Let me get this straight, you are a resident of New York but you think it will be easier to take the road and written test in New Jersey, for example? Why do you think it will be easier? If you are going to drive in NY then take the test in NY. If you fail, then you are not prepared enough or have practiced enough to gain the privilege to drive in New York or New jersey or any state.</p>
<p>Yea, I took the test in San Francisco. If you can pass in major cities, then you can drive anywhere. It’s these people who take the exams in a desolate countryside that bothers me!</p>
<p>I’m not that bad of a driver when I took lessons in NYC. I just failed the road test, because I was way too nervous and I lost control. Now that I’m going back to college in a different state, I was just wondering if I can take lessons and the road test in that state or else I’d have to redo everything next summer which is a long time.</p>

<p>Hey now. I can hold my own in city traffic, thank you. But some of my similarly rural friends cannot. The test here doesn’t involve one intersection with a traffic light. And I had a good laugh when I went to a party once in town, and all the driving newbies parked on the wrong side of the street. Lawlz.</p>
<p>To the OP, I don’t really see why you couldn’t take the test in another state. As long as you can provide them with an address in that state, and you have the proper ID to show for it, then you should be fine. Just read up on all the laws for the state where you’re going to college. There’s a good chance that you don’t even have to take lessons. If you already know how to drive, just show up and take the test.</p>
<p>Do it at Thanksgiving or Christmas Break or Spring Break. No need to wait until summer.
To take the road test don’t you have to bring an insured car to test in?</p>
