Permit

[[GMs]]

I want to get my permit tomorrow but I started reading the first 20 pages and there isn't anything related to the test. Any one know what chapters I need to read for the rules, signs, and vision test

You're from texas, cool.

Getting your permit is extremely easy. I used the exact same book, still have my copy of it as well. Just read over the signs, go over right-of-way, know the traffic signals (dont forget about school bus signals) and how to enter/exit a road. Thats pretty much all that is on the permit test.

Check out these two links for practice tests, they'll help you out a lot. A lot of the questions in these two practice tests were on the actual permit test.

http://www.dmv.org/dmv-practice-tes...&testtype=DRIVERS LICENSE&testname=nationwide

Keep retaking them until you know every question on both of them. Don't stress out over the actual test too much. It's very simple. Where I took it, you could miss 9 out of 30 questions and still pass, I only missed 2. They were the ones about how fast you can go to stop within a certain amount of feet. =p

Oh, and nothing in the first chapter is on the test. That is all just information about the types of licenses and restrictions.

So I should start reading on Chapter 4? How many times can we retest?

I live in Katy, Texas.

hey ron, in texas do you require to wait 6 months after getting a permit before taking the actual driving test? cause here in maryland, they need you to wait for 6 months after you past the test and then you can take the driving test.

 

[[GMs]]

Yes. You need to have the permit for 6 months before taking the driving test.

 

[Ron]

Yep, start reading from chapter 4, and yeah you have to wait 6 months.

How many days and hours do we need to attend driving school? Do we need the VOE when we get the permit or license? Is the vision test included? We need to score 70% on each test to past?

EDIT: Finally done with Right-Of-Way too confusing. Are the questions multiple choice?

 

[Ron]

I never went to a driving school. My dad told me everything I needed and I taught myself everything. I think the requirement for reading from the book is 6 hours then you can go take your permit test but I'm not sure. I did all this two years ago. =p

You'll need the VOE and a few other forms. Go to this site and scroll down to the needed forms part,

http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/driver_licensing_control/parenttaught.htm

The test is multiple choice. You'll need to score at least a 70 to pass. If you pass, they should do a quick vision test, take your prints and you'll get your permit.

If you're not doing the parent taught program, I'd recommend to switch over to it instead of going to a classroom. A friend started the classes at the same time I started the parent taught program and I finished way before he did. The classrooms over-explain everything.

lies the book I got came with a paper saying I only needed to read certain chapters

and idk its probably different everywhere so I couldn't tell ya.

 

[[GMs]]

I heard it is 16 days and 2 hours each day. I am just going to get a handbook tomorrow. I don't get any of these right now. Until what chapter should I stop reading? Both tests are multiple choice?

 

[Ron]

The written test is multiple choice. The vision test, it's just like what you would do at school or at an eye doctor. You look at small letters and say them out loud.

I live in Texas and I went through driver's ed.
There is a written test over some **** after passing said test you get a shitty paper (enjoi not having more than one other person in the car). Then, there is a driving test over some **** after said drinvg test you can get a license which then expires in a year and must be renewed every year till you are 18; after which you get a new one at 21 that is sideways (opposite printed as its predicessor) and you can buy alcohol products.

Licenses are shitty. The only things you need it for are non-driving related things anyways =/

Sounds like driving sucks in Texas!

 

[[GMs]]

Do we get driver ed first then test or test then driver ed?

 

[Ron]

The whole point of reading the book is to get the learners permit so you can get in-car practice for your license test.

This all seems so complicated. I don't want to learn drive anymore T_T
