If I'm 18, Do I Need To Get A Permit?

Question

Ok, so I'm 18, but haven't formally gotten a license yet. I've looked everywhere on the DMV site, but their instructions are a bit vague concerning this situation.

If I'm 18, do I need to apply for a permit, complete 6 months of behind the wheel training, and then take my test? Or can I go straight to the behind the wheel's test?

If so, what's the process? By the way, if age matters, I was born June 11th, 1990.

Answer 1

no once you reach 17 and half you can go straight to the test

Answer 2

You do not need a permit.

Although I do believe you do need to take driver's ed classes for drunk driving.  For the school I went to, it was only 4 classes.

Answer 3

nope. pass go, collect $200, n get a license, easy as that

Answer 4

Since you are the legal age to drive you should be able to go right to the test, unless you want the permit time to practice.

Answer 5

You do not need to have the 6 month period, but I would check with the DMV and see if you can take the driving test without a permit.
