Opinion on drivers license?

Question

I'm from Canada, waiting for myadjustment package to be approved.

In Canada, it cost over $200 to get a drivers license. You need to first take a written test to get a G1. Then you must wait 8 months (if you take a course on driving, inlcuding 10 hours with an instructor in a car) or a year if you dont take the course. The you can take your first road test for a G2, like a regular full license but no alcohol in your system. Then, you have to take a highway test, which includes everything on the road test as well (i.e. parking, 3 point turns, turning, emergency brake) but twice, as well as a highway drive. Finally, if you pass that, you get a full class G license.

I called the Georgia DMV and found out I need to pay another $30 to take a written test and a driving test. As if I haven't gone through enough?!?!?!?!

Answer 1

With all that you were required to do in Canada you are probably a better driver than most in Georgia. However, you still need to pay the fee and take the test to get a license in the US. It will ensure that you know our laws and regulations. It sounds like a bargain compared to what a US person would have to pay and do to get a Canadian drivers license.

Answer 2

That sucks that you had to go through so much. In NJ we have to pass a written test, taking driving lessons, wait until we're a certain age and then go for a road test to get a drivers license plus all the fees. So it's basically the same thing here. Maybe you should just live in Canada.

Answer 3

You want a drivers license in this country then follow the rules. Stop complaining about what canada made you do. This is not Canada. If you don't like it you could always stay there.

Answer 4

you pay to obtain a license anywhere. You are living proof the US isn't bad
