• Do I have to take drivers ed to get a learner's permit?

  The country is fairly split down the middle on this one; some states require applicants to have drivers ed before they can get permits; some don’t. Some even leave it up to the applicant, making it possible to get a drivers permit at a younger age with the completion of a driver education course. Because drivers ed teaches new drivers the basic skills and road rules they need to begin driving, as well as gives them tools like a practice permit test to help them prepare for the real thing, taking a course before or soon after obtaining a drivers permit makes perfect sense. Look at your state in the grid below, and remember that even if your state doesn’t require you to take drivers ed before you can get your learner’s permit, it might still insist you take – and pass..

• Can I download a learners permit study guide online?

  Yes, most states do allow you to download your learner's permit study guide. To do so, visit your state's drivers license agency site, and search for the publications section.

• Is there a DMV learners permit practice test in the drivers manual?

  That depends on your state; some manuals include them and some don’t. For example, Oregon, Texas, and Michigan all provide sample learners permit tests in their handbooks (Michigan actually provides a selection of questions taken directly from the Michigan Driver Education Classroom Competency Test), but Wyoming, West Virginia, and Georgia do not. The easiest way to find out is to grab a copy of your state’s manual and scan the table of contents. Check all the chapter titles and descriptions, but if your manual includes a DMV learners permit practice test, chances are it’s close to the back of the book – after all the pages of information you’re supposed to study before you actually take a test. No Luck? If your state’s drivers handbook doesn’t..
