Do You Want To Drive?


                                Did you know California ranks as the second safest state for teenage drivers? With a staggering 943,083 teenage drivers, California comes second to District of Columbia with roughly 2914 teenage drivers. (http://www.usnews.com/news/features/best-states-for-teen-drivers) If you are planning on driving soon and don't know where to start, this is the perfect post. 



  • How To Apply for a Driver's License ( Under 18) 
    • Step 1 : Complete a Driver's Education Course online or in class (see below for a great online course) 
    • Step 2 : Study for DMV Written Test by reading through the DMV CA Driver's Handbook
    • Bring Necessary Documents to the DMV to take the Written Test
        • Requirements Include : Social Security Number, Residence Document, Parent's Signature on required applications, and you must be at least 15
    • Once you have passed the written exam, the next step is to take the driving test. But before you take the driving test, there are certain steps that you must take.
        • Requirements Include : Be at least 16 years old, have possessed a permit for a minimum of 6 months, have completed driver's education, have completed 6 hours of professional driver training, and finally have completed 50 hours of practice with an adult 25 years or older.
    • After you pass your driving test you will be issued a temporary license valid for 60 days or until you receive your official photo license. 


        • Currently, I have finished my driver education course and it was done fast and easy at http://www.driveredtogo.com/default.aspx. Personally, I like the online course better and I was able to finish it within a day and my certificate came in the mail soon after. It was recommended to me by a friend and I used a coupon code X32-BF9-2BD. I believe it still works and it gives you 30% OFF. I am currently waiting to take my written test!
