[Zell's Fists of Fury]

I never took the tests. Hurray for Driver's Ed.

I had a written test that I could take when I was 15, and another practical test which came 6 months later, and then in twelve months I could get the full one after another pointless practical. I took the written when I was 17, and took the practical quite recently. I am allowed to drive by myself now, but have to wait 12 months or so before I can drive passengers. Cute.

Well I live in California,US I must say it is really easy to get one here even when so many people get into accidents and they don't even care like when I was at starbucks and some girl dented my bumper with her nissan and speed off it angered me

In ohio, we had to get 38/50 on a "written" test (it was on a computer), drive for 50 hours, 10 of which at night, with a guardian, sit through 24 hours of classroom training, 8 hours on the road training, and then take a 2-part road test which includes a manuverability portion, and a street-driving portion.

I passed everything the first time, which is strangely rare.

That makes it sound like a lot. I guess I just didn't notice.

I got like 39/50 on my permit exam. Everything else I passed with flying colors.

I failed the writen test the first time and had to go back because I didn't read the little booklet. Which you really do have to read because there's all these questions like "what happends the second time you get a DUI and how many days for blah blah blah" I forgot already, but the behind the wheel test was easy. I passed the first time.

There are three tests in Victoria (Aus). The first is a multiple choice test for your L plates which is pretty easy if you've read the VicRoads manual a couple of times. Before you take your practical test there's a 'hazard perception' test where you are given a command to carry out (e.g. turn left, slow down, u-turn...) and you see a video of a driving situation - you have to click the mouse button when it is safe to carry out the task. It's a bit crap because the screen is dark and you can't see anything and its nothing like driving. The driving test is third.

I passed all three first go, though I just scraped through on the hazard perception...

I can't take my tests when I get to 17, cause they cost so much in London ...damn you all

In Ontario, Canada, you have to take a written test(G1), than you can drive with a parent(assuming your parent can drive) or someone who has had their licence for 4 years or more, you have to wait 8 months with driving school, a year without, then you can take you G2 test. (which is pretty much your full licence, except it expires in four years, plus you can't drink AT ALL, and if you let it expire you go back to your G1) and then after a year you can take your G test which is your full licence.

I passed all three with out failing. YAY me!!

[Fate Fatale]

I've driven... its not that hard... You turn, you speed up, you slow down... its really simple... I had a friend recently take the test.. he failed the written part but got it on the 2nd time...

[Mr. Graves]

The written test is common sense. The behind-the-wheel test is easy, at least in California because they no longer ask you to parallel park.

I took my behind-the-wheel test about 8 months ago in Michigan, and I was never asked to parellel park. Dunno if it's national or what.

I remember missing 6 questions on my 20-question written exam, but I still passed. Here is one rule of thumb I learned about behing-the-wheel: Never get nervous. Getting nervous while driving will affect how you do, bigtime, and not in a good way. Oh, and stop for stop signs, too.

Good luck to ya.

Yeah there's no stopping, parking, going with traffic, signaling, following signs, lights, traffic signals, and watching out for everything else while abiding by all the rules of the road to do.
