The DMV realizes the process of obtaining a California driver license can be confusing, and often, taking the test for a provisional instruction permit is a teen’s first encounter with the DMV. As teens prepare to become responsible California drivers, many questions might come to mind…
How do I apply for a permit if I am under 18 years of age?
What kind of insurance requirements must I meet before I can legally drive in California?
How do I find a driver training school to complete my behind the wheel hours?
If I don’t pass my driving test, how long do I have to wait before I can take it again?
Regardless of the question, the DMV has the answer for teens and their parents. In addition to this column the DMV offers many online services and publications at www.dmv.ca.gov/teenweb to help teens and their parents stay informed about California driving laws and requirements.
