If you take Drivers Ed can you get your license in less than 6 months?

Hi I'm 15, and i live in the state of New York. My 16th birthday is on May 17th. If i take drivers ed in the summer will i be able to get my license in less than six months? Or do i still have to wait?|||If I remember correctly, you still have to wait. The six months is to give you enough time to learn the basics.


It also depends on your county.|||Only permit till your 18.. permit only allows to drive with an 18 and over adult with a state license|||i think you have to hold onto your permit for 9 months

Can I still get my full drivers license or do I need to take drivers ed?

I wanted to get my drivers license so I took this 5 hour pre licensing course and filled out a DMV form that says i drove over 20 hours under supervision. Im turning 17 next week.I heard this pre licensing course will only give me a junior license at 17. Can I still get my full drivers license or do I need to take drivers ed?|||Depends on where you are from but in most all states you will need to take drivers ed.......|||Try DriversEd.com

At what age can I start drivers ed?

Do you have to be 15 1/2 to start drivers ed or do you have to be 15 1/2 to take the permit test? In other words, can I start drivers ed before I turn 15 1/2?|||Beats me. It's a very big world after all, and each country and each state in the US has their own rules. So your question can't be answered except to list the age when you can get a permit in every state and country. You could add location to your question, and perhaps get an answer.





Generally though, you can't start drivers ed classes until you have your permit, it that's your real question.|||In Florida the age is 15 years old but you can not get your license until you are 16.|||Well at my school, they offer driver's education. And my friend is 15 and is taking it. But, I think generally you must be 15 1/2|||you can start when you get your permit./

Is it possible to start the drivers ed when you are 14?

is it possible to start the drivers ed written exam and classes before you reach the age of 15?|||Maybe, I know here in michigan you have to be 14 and 8 months (or so I think). Best guess is to go to the DMV and ask.|||Yes!!!


Fill out form "Junior Permit Statement of Facts"


Permit can only be issued if certain Hardship conditions are shown to exist. All other transportation must be inadequate. Applicant must be at least 14 and not more than 18.

I'm nervous about taking Drivers ED and i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips and advice?

I will be taking Drivers ED in 2012 and I am REALLY nervous so I want to start preparing. Does anyone have any tips or advice?|||you have plenty of time to go to driver's ed and get your permit/ license. The best way to study and pass faster is if you have someone older than 21 to actually teach you how to drive. I did this, a family member taught me some driving skills :) and also, you can take the DMV's sample test on their website. But, you HAVE to study the booklet! If you fail, you will have to pay the same expensive fee every time, which will make them richer :P so If you are just taking the alcohol/drug test in the driver's school where ever you live, jsut take down every note that you think will be in the test. Keep those notes until you actually take the real thing.


When taking the driving test, with the guy that will score you on how well you do, stay calm and don't fret! I know, it was for me. I had to take the written test twice just to pass it on the third try O_O. So... yeah, just study and memorize, ESPECIALLY!|||Hello K.C.!





2012! You have a loooong time to prepare. Drivers ed isn't something to be worried about, its quite simple actually. Im sure you'll do fine.





Have you considered taking it online?


Anyways, i took drivers ed at : www.driversedtogo.com





It took me awhile to find the cheapest one, but i finally did it. At first i was wondering if they were legit or not, but my friend completed it and he got his certificates in the mail so i did it.





The course is pretty easy. I think its 16 different chapters with lots of pictures and videos. And at the end there is a final exam that you must get 32/36 correct to pass. You can take as long as you want and take it as many times as you want until you pass.

I did so much research to get my permit =_=, at least it sort of paid off :D I got my license 2 months ago =)


Good Luck!

What should i expect in my drivers ed class that i start in a few weeks?

I live in Texas, and i'm going Monday-Thursday after school and Saturday morning. Since they say Friday nights are "Date Nights" since all the kids like to go out and go to football games Friday night.





But, i'm just wondering what should i expect to do in drivers ed? How long will it take to get my permit? How many hours each day do i have to go?

How can I get a license in Texas without drivers ed?

I'm 16 yrs old and my cousin didn't take drivers ed. She had her parents sign this paper and then they practiced with her how to drive and she had to complete a certain number of hours to get her license. I was wondering how do can I take the same thing.|||It's called "Parent taught driver education" and it's allowed in Texas.





Texas implemented a Parent Taught Driver Education Program on April 1, 1997. The Parent Taught Driver Education Program requires students to acquire the essential knowledge, skills and experience to perform reduced-risk practices in the total traffic environment. To achieve this goal, students are required to master the following elements: applicable Texas traffic laws, rules and procedures for operating and owning an automobile; benefits of occupant protections, use of a space management systems; factors and behaviors that effect driver performance including alcohol and other drugs; and protection of Texas natural resources, including litter prevention.





The Parent Taught Driver Education Program is available to teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17. However, before the instructor (parent, stepparent, grandparent, step-grandparent, foster parent or legal guardian) begins teaching this course, the instructor must have a valid TEXAS driver license for the preceding three years. Active US military personnel and their spouse may participate as instructors if they hold a valid license from their state of permanent residence or last duty station for the preceding three years..|||You can get a temp license to practice while you have someone older with you in the car.

Its much better because its cheaper and you can do it on your own schedule. I have friends who took it in school and it dragged on for 6 weeks -_-.





It costs about $25 to take it online at Driversedtogo.com(I took it here), But for you in rhode island it will cost about $100. Heres a cupon code if you want, its not much but hey its $3 lol


When paying for it enter the code: X2K-9FB-34E








For the behind the wheel, you need to take 6 hours at least to get your license. The total cost will be about $300 depending on where you live. If you live in a crowded city, i suggest you go to a less crowded place so it will be easier





Heres the steps you have to take:


1) Sign up and complete Drivers ed. If you take it online it consists of 16 chapters with a final exam at the end. They will send you a certificate of completion.


2)You sign up for behind the wheel drivers training and get an Enrollment certificate.


3)You go to the DMV with Both certificates and take the driver permit written exam.


4)after you pass you have to wait 6 months to get your license or until your 18(Whichever comes first). You also need to have completed 6 hrs of behind the wheel training and 50 hours driving experience with a adult over 25.


5)Pass driving test


6) Get your license :D

Im 15 now, and i was just wondering if i need to take a drivers education class before getting my permit or license...I was thinking to take a drivers ed class this year when i start my sophomore year, would that be ok? Would it be too late to sign up for it?|||I would suggest taking a drivers ed course. Some states give you insurance discounts if you have a certificate from completing a course. If it is too late to sign up in your school, you can do it MUCH faster at a private drivers education school. It takes a whole semester in high school, yet it only took me about 12 hours total, to take a private class.





I think it was a couple hundred bucks. But, well worth not sitting through a semester of drivers ed. Good luck!

If you took driver's ed in high school, they might be able to access your high school transcript. But there is a fee for that, and most businesses would not want to pay a fee in order to give you a reduced rate.

So I start drives ed in a couple of days, any advice at all? (i.e. what to bring, what its like, will i be bored, etc.)





thanks for your help!!|||Hi:





Driver's Ed is what you make it. The teacher has to cover a great amount of material over a short time. In addition, the classes are usually large.





I would suggest you get a drivers handbook and read it carefully. If you have access to a car practise city driving with attention to turns and parking. Try to find a place where you can practise backing up. Pay attention to your pre-starting habits they are important for safety and are part of the driver's test. If you don't understand ask for help from your teacher or in-car instructor. I hope these suggestions help. Have fun!





I used to be a Driver's Ed teacher in Canada.|||Don't crash.|||Even though it's stuff that helps you out in the long run, driver's ed instructors tend to be long winded and extremely boring. Also, they play A LOT of really boring movies that were produced int he 80's and therefore have incredibly lame music. Make sure you're awake when you go to driver's ed class. Good grades sometimes give you additional benefits as far as testing goes.|||yes you will be bored dont fall asleep dont scare the instructor when you take him in the car

Im just making sure that when drivers training comes(2weeks)that i will be prepared and have an upperhand.





Questions:


-Is Drivers Ed hard?


-What major things will be on the test?


-Is the test hard?


-Am i going out of my way everyday and studying?


-What advice would you give me?


-What are the main things i should study?


-What should i bring to class?





Please answer as many of the questions you can. Thanks in advance.|||The written test is extremely easy...I believe everyone in my class passed with little or no effort. I never studied and I did the homework 5 minutes before it was due in class. You should be more than prepared for the course, you should prolly trim down your studying so you dont get yourself worked up or nervous. Bring to class your permit, drivers ed book, and a pencil. Studying street signs is a good idea, and rules of the road...such as when its ok to pass or not. The actual road test is the only thing you need to be worried about, but its not bad, only reason most people fail it is because they are too nervous. If you fail your first time dont worry, most people do.|||drivers ed is easy, but soo boring, the permit test is just common sense, just bring a pen and pencil with you, the test is pretty much street signs|||im sure its different for every state but drivers ed is simple..there are two tests to get your permit..a signs test and a road rules test which are pretty easy all you need for class is a pencil and notebook and be prepared to write alot of notes

Drivers Ed?

im 14 years old, and get my license in 3 months.

Do I have to take Drivers Ed since im under 16?


Do you have an estimation of how much it costs?





Please and Thank You!!! :)|||I cant believe they let 14 year olds behind the wheel. I live in Buffalo NY and you have to be 16 just to get your permit. Drivers ed here is a few hundred for a summer session, but you save a lot on insurance so it makes up for it in the end. Taking driver's ed is not necessary here in order to get your permit or license at 16.|||Drivers Ed given thru a school should not cost anything extra than the fees for the driver permit, exam, and then the actual license. Now, having said that, some schools are being forced to recoup some costs, so simply talk with the school to find out the fees and costs for your drivers ed program.


Good luck.





Please remember, do not drink and drive! Too many have died.


Also, studies have shown that cellphone use while driving is as bad as being drunk... so please please please, dont talk on the cellphone while driving. Thanks.|||Yes. You have to take it because it doesn't matter about the written test, it matters on your driving. A liscense is $25 (to own it)


Good Luck! ;)

Drivers ed........................?

I'm taking drivers ed in a few weeks. Is it like school? What is it like?|||Its really boring. You just sit there are stay awake.

Good luck lol





EDIT: Yeah, we got tests and some homework. There was this book of laws and a workbook to go with it that basically explained everything. We would get tested on that and had to complete the workbook. It really does help for when you actually go in to take the written exam at the DMV though|||Yea, they teach you how to drive.|||I didn't know they still offered that. Or is it just here in Kalifonia where we can't afford to offer it to students anymore?|||If I remember correctly, you'll spend a few hours a day in a classroom setting and then a few hours taking turns behind the wheel. You'll have to pass your written test for a permit before you can participate behind the wheel. Good luck %26amp; have fun.|||Very 'educational'....of course.....and fun.....!!|||Give up on it! lmao
