Before you can start driving, you must get your NY learners permit. Complete a MV-44 form. You must bring this form to your local DMV office, along with proofs of identity and date of birth. You will have to take a vision test and written permit test. To pass the written test, you must get at least 14 of the 20 multiple-choice questions correct.
Most new drivers who fail their road tests were not adequately prepared. Professional driving instruction is recommended as well as a meticulous review of the Drivers Manual. If you are under the age of 18 and have Class DJ or Class MJ permit, make sure you read about supervised practice driving hours required by law that must be certified by your parent or guardian.
You are required to take the 5 hour pre-licensing course before you are able to schedule or take a road test.
If you have a package with us, we will schedule your road test appointment. If you pass your road test, the license examiner normally gives you an interim driver license that is valid for 90 days. Keep the interim driver license with your learner permit as proof that you have a driver’s license.
