Well I will admit most of them were common sense, but some of the answers were those that didn't give enough information to narrow down the question or leave two right answers, my first time I had one question left before I passed, the second I had two left, the third I only missed two :D

I could have passed my permit test when I was two years old. I had to take my driving test twice, though.

To get the permit is easy as ****. We need 40 hours supervised driving + 12 hours supervised driving at night. Takes about a year to actually learn to drive, and thats how long it takes before you can swich from permit to liscence in GA. A year and a day. In SC about 30 minits away, you dont even need a days experience to get a liscence.

there's two different ways here to get your permit/license here (that i'm aware of) if you're under 18!. if you're over 18, you just go to the DPS, take a test, and if you pass, get the license.  if you're under 18, you can either do "drivers ed" which is longer, but you don't have to take/pass a test.  if you do it the "homeschooled" way, you have to take the test(s), etc. and your parent/guardian has to sit with you through a set number of hours of driving experience, driving theory, etc.

yeah i did the "homeschooled" way too, while most everyone did "drivers ed".  bah losers ;)

homeschooled is better anyway, it's like drivers-ed, but with just one 'instructor' (your parent) and yourself... not five kids piled into a car with an instructor. boo.

It's completely different here...

Drivers Ed, only allows your insurance to be lowered by a certain percentage.

Permit is when you're fifteen and one half you can take a writen test which can get you your permit, which only allows you to drive with a liscensed driver in the front seat.
Then when your 16 you can take a driving test that will get you your liscense :)

First try on both the permit and license tests.  How much of an idiot can you be to actually fail these things?  *points to all the morons on the road that can't drive for *****

I dunno Vertigo, I know in Australia the testing process is very rigorous and difficult to pass. In fact, I am one of the few among my own friends who passed first go - they're so strict, many of my friends have failed once or twice.

My 4th try.

I thought the test was pretty hard. You had to get 10/10 questions correct on the sign section and that least a 60 something percent on the general questions.
