Permit test!

<p>So uh i've been 16 for a couple months now, but never got around to taking the test. I was just wondering, what do I need to knwo for it? Like I know green is go orange slow down red is stop and like basic signs like the stop sign. Is that all I need to know?</p>

<p>Common sense is all you need :slight_smile: Seriously, it’s so easy.</p>

<p>But when I took it more than half of my driver’s ed. class failed the permit test :/</p>

<p>its really easy. Don’t get all geeky and study the booklet like a history test. xD
IMO: the hardest parts are like “how many feet can you park from a fire hydrant” or “what is the penalty for driving with a suspended license on you second offense.” Those numeric questions are the ones I didn’t study.</p>

<p>Yes, I did get tested on those dumb questions. I think I got a 21/25 in my state.</p>

<p>lol my state has us take a sign test we need to get a 100% on, then a driving knowledge test which is common sense.</p>

<p>I got a perfect score without studying while those who studied religiously either failed or missed 5 questions.</p>

<p>wut? i got mine the day i turned 16</p>

<p>My state lets you take it online, so I had the book open on my lap. Driving test would have been killer with a car that literally didn’t fit in the cones for the parking spot, so I borrowed a small car.</p>

<p>Anyway, find practice questions and study them. Learn all the signs. All the information is there in the book, and the test isn’t very hard. Mine was preceded by a “drug test”, in which I had to answer “drugs are bad” to 15 or so questions.</p>

<p>LoL, I know people who fail this multiple times, the 2 times that I’ve gone to the DMV, the same person was there and failed again…10 times. I can’t wait for my license in November. I turn 16 in July, but I didn’t do driver’s ed until this year.</p>

<p>Man, I have to find driving school in order to meet my road requirement. Then get about 10 more hours, and wait until November for my license.</p>

<p>how will they know? i was supposed to have 50 hours experience and only recorded like 5</p>

<p>^I did a parent-taught program, and we just lied about my road hours. I didn’t log a single hour of road practice when I got my license: it was all fabricated. Granted, I started driving by myself when I still only had my permit.</p>

<p>me too …it’s not like they’re gonna know unless you’re doing something visibly mischevious .i just wrote random dates and times on my log sheet.</p>

<p>lol “12/30/09- drive 4 hours” …not</p>

<p>In my state (CA) you’re supposed to take driver’s ed from a certified school for 30 hours, get a certificate from that, then take 6 hours of driver’s training and get a certificate from that, then take those two certificates to the DMV in order to take a test. After that, it’s 6 months of parent driving and then you go in for two more hours of an in-car test, and then you get your permit…am I off on this?</p>

<p>^No, in order to obtain a permit you don’t need to possess any driving experience. You solely need to pass a written test. In order to acquire your license though, you are obligated to undergo a certain amount of hours behind the wheel with a driving instructor.</p>

<p>Just know saftey precautions like vehicle spacing, signalling, when to use your brights. Really easy but it might be worded to confuse you.</p>

<p>The only thing I studied were the signs. The rest was pretty easy. You will do fine.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>ugh. I don’t want to go through 30 hours of Driver’s Ed.</p>

<p>^It’s not too bad if you take it with a friend during the summer. My friend and I played tic tac toe throughout some of the more gruesome videos.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ah, what do you mean by gruesome? Do you mean as in bloody and gory and with all those scenes of actual car accidents?</p>

<p>Yes, you will be obligated to watch a number of Red Asphalt videos. The majority are tolerable, but there are a couple of graphic ones that you will have the option to watch.</p>

<p>Well, that’s a discouragement for me, but at least these videos only cover a minimal amount of time of the total class hours.</p>
