Important for New Jersey students

With your student learners permit in hand, it is now time to get the necessary experience for taking the road test at the MVC. The most important detail is to get practice, practice, and more practice behind the wheel. It has been demonstrated novice drivers with more supervised practice will become safer drivers, so don't skimp on the practice!

Steps to Getting a Driver's License

Complete driver training. Select an in-car driving school where you will take 6 hours of behind the wheel lessons with a certified instructor.

Practice behind the wheel driving with your parent, guardian, and /or adult driver. The more hours of supervised driving practice you log before your road test the more confident you will be on test day. Nothing can replace experience. 

Pass the road test. Between the drivers education you received from igottadrive.com and your practice driving, you should be armed and ready for this test. Get signed-up at your local MVC office and it won't be long before you are smiling again - this time with your newly minted drivers license.
