Getting a Driver's License in California

Once you have this, then you have to practice driving. Now, if you are a teenager, you have to have a person who is eighteen or older in the front seat with you when you do this. Other times, if you are older, you might just have a licensed driver. You have to hold this for so many days. Before the permit expires, you are then instructed to take yet another one.

While the first one you passed was a written test, this other one is hands on. You have to have a car that is legal meaning the tags are there, they have lights. This car also has to be insured and registered. You will have to drive and follow the directions of the person giving you the test. When you do this, for everything that you do wrong, they will knock off points or what not. Therefore, you need to be sure that you do this correctly. If you stay within the guidelines meaning they don't have to knock all these points off, then you get your license. Normally, even after you have the thing that says you can drive, if you are a teen, they might have limitations on who you can let in the car as soon as you get it and other things like that.
