STEP 1:Obtain a 16-year-old permit, pass a written test, an eye exam, and complete six(6) hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.

STEP 2:Provisional (with restrictions) license, may be granted at age 17 after completing a minimum of six(6) months of supervised driving with a validated permit.

STEP 3:Full Basic (no restrictions) license, is available at age 18 after having provisional license for one year.

Practical Driving School is here to help you with Step 1. New Jersey law now requires that we purchase the permit for you. This will require a parent's signature. The Division of Motor Vehicles requires that we supply your parent with a parent's handbook published by the state. The handbook details the new GDL law and the proper way to practice driving with a parent after completing your 6 hours of professional behind-the-wheel training.
