Can someone tell me how to get my license without having to wait 6 MONTHS?!?!?

Question

I live in New Jersey and am 17. I read somewhere that if you are 17 (and have your permit obviously), that you don't have to wait six months. I haven't found proof of this, but if it is true, how can I get my license in less than 6 months?

Answer 1

I would recommend reading the New Jersey DMV web site, or calling them.

Answer 2

Go to the website below and it will tell exactly what you need to know and how to do it as a first time driver in NJ. You only have to be 16 in NJ to get your license. Of course, you'll have to pass your road test, so I suggest that you get as much practice time on the road as you can (with a qualified driver). If you're the nervous type, I recommend going through Drivers' Education.

Just bear in mind that not everyone gets their license on the first try. It took me 3 and I've been driving for over 25 yrs.

For drivers age 17 or older, MVC offers a three-phase process:

1. Examination permit:

Visit an MVC Agency (may also be distributed by a licensed driving instructor).

Pass the knowledge test. You can study by reading MVC's
