Happy 16th Birthday son, here is the car your mother and I bought you!
No way! Thanks dad, I cant wait to start driving!
Well hold on, son... you cannot start driving until after you have your learners permit test. I'll collect all required documents and we will head over to take the test.
Ok. Thanks, Dad.
Meanwhile at the DMV...
Aced it! Kachow... I can't wait to start driving finally.
Hold on, Bucko... you have only obtained your learners permit. In CT, You can apply for the license after 120 days if you get at least 40 hours of behind-the-wheel training, as well as 30 hours classroom training at any commercial driving school. Or, you can wait 180 days to apply for your license and be home taught, with at least 40 hours of behind-the-wheel training and 22 hour classroom type training, and an 8 hour Safe Driving Practices course at a commercial/secondary school
ok. I also have your 19$ fee that is required for the learners permit as well as the 40$ testing fee.
Well Dad... How can I practice for my drivers license test?
Well son... we are going to teach you at home. Me and your mother are the only passengers allowed in your car because we have been licensed for four consecutive years with no infractions and are over the age of 20. We will teach you at home... meaning you will be able to take your on road license test in 180 days
Wow... I am practicing and getting a lot more comfortable. I can't wait for my on-road drivers test!
