When You Have Your Permit
Practice frequently. The DMV recommends that you practice at least 30 hours for your road test. Practice at least 10 hours in medium to high volume traffic. You can practice with a driver who has enough driving experience, but the DMV recommends that you take professional driving lessons. Most new drivers fail their road test because they were not prepared.
Attend a mandatory pre-licensing course or complete a high school or college driver education course. Most commercial driving schools licensed by the DMV offer the DMV-approved pre-licensing course. Look in the telephone directory under "Driving Instruction."
When you complete the course, you receive a pre-licensing course certificate (MV-278). You must provide the certificate number when you schedule your road test. You must also show the certificate to the road test examiner on the day of your road test.
Only students who complete a high school or college driver education course approved by the NYS Education Department (NYSED) receive an MV-285 student certificate. (This certificate was called a "blue card" in the past.) You do not receive an MV-285 if you complete the pre-licensing course. The DMV does not provide a list of approved driver education courses. Contact your school or the NYSED.
Schedule a Road Test. Make an appointment for a road test by phone or schedule a road test on-line. The test date is normally from three to ten weeks after the date that you make the appointment. The time between an appointment and the road test is normally longer in the summer.
Before you take your road test, read the DMV brochure, Road Test Tips.
After your road test, the examiner will inform you of the results. If you did not pass, you can schedule another road test. If you do not pass the second road test, you must pay a $10 fee to take a maximum of two more road tests.
You can renew a learner permit if:
You passed the written test in the last two years, and
Your permit expired in the last 30 days.
Because learner permits are normally issued for 5 years, most new drivers never renew their learner permits.

When You Apply for a Learner Permit
Complete form MV-44 (Driver License Application). Take the form and your proofs of identity and date of birth to a local DMV office. Take a vision test at the DMV office, or bring a valid form MV-619 (Eye Test Report) completed by an eye-care professional. If the form MV-619 has a print date of 9/03 or earlier, the form is valid for 6 months after the date of the eye test. If the form has a print date of 3/04 or later, the eye-care professional marks a box on the form to indicate if the form is valid for 6 months or for 12 months after the date of the eye test. Bring cash, a personal check or a credit card to pay the application fee and the driver license fee. See the driver license fee schedule to determine your fee.
Take the written permit test. An appointment is not required, but you must arrive at the DMV office at least one half hour before the office closing time. The written test for a commercial learner permit (CDL) is given during specific hours. Contact your local DMV office to determine when the test is given. To pass the test, you must give the correct answers to at least 14 of the 20 multiple-choice questions, which includes the correct answers to at least two of the four questions about road signs.
If you do not pass, you can take the written test again any number of times without a limit. You do not pay additional fees to take the test more than one time. If you do not pass, the DMV recommends that you study the Driver's Manual and take the test on another day. If you pass the test, the DMV issues you a learner permit valid for approximately 5 years. The exact expiration date depends on your date of birth and the date that you applied for the permit.
You are not required to take the written test if you have form MV-285 (Driver Education Student Certificate of Completion).
Read the DMV brochure, Learner Permits and Junior Licenses, to learn about the restricted driving privileges for learner permits and junior licenses.

Westchester Driving School
Hi,I come from India and have taken only two lessons with Adrian and got my Driving Permit today after a successful road test. I can only have praises for the driving school. Adrian (instructor) is very polite, attentive and gives you a instant feedback of your mistakes. He is patient with students to help them overcome the initial driving fear and gain confidence. I highly recoomend Adrian's for the following reasons:1. Personalized instructions2. Quality of the Car3. Tips for parallel parking, 3-point turn etc are amazing. It seems so easy after learning from him. 4. Very timely. 5. Adrians experience with students and inspectors makes him very capable of telling you the right thing at the right time. 6. Cost of an hour lesson with Adrian is un-believeable considering the amount of tips you get from him and the practice you can do. So Fasten your seat belts, check the mirrors, start the car and step on the gas (dont forget the driving gear)... Adrians.. You Rock!!Safe Driving!!!Thanks Adrian for everything

Driving School Westchester
Adrian's Driving School A++: ADRIAN'S DRIVING SCHOOL is by far one of the very best in all of Westchester. No matter what age you are...I am 22 years old and at first I was quite embaressed for being older than the usual "new" driver, when I first started taking classes. But Adrian turned my fears of driving into confidence form the start. He reinforced to me the rules of the road that I was rusty on. His parallel parking technique is exellent and comprehendable, for all of those who have difficulty...In little less than a month, I passed my road test on the first try...Overall, my experpience with Adrian's Driving School surpassed my expectations. I encourage all in or even outside of the area to take lessons. Adrian is one of the BEST instrustors around.
