After receiving your learner’s permit in Connecticut, if you are over 18 years old, you must wait at least 90 days before taking the road test to receive your driver’s license. You must practice driving during this period with an adult who is at least 20 years old and has had their license for at least four years. You can take your road test and apply for your license once the 90-day waiting period has passed and you have logged the necessary number of driving hours.
You must be at least 16 years old and have successfully completed a driver’s education program that has been approved by the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in order to apply for a student license in this state. The course will consist of in-class instruction, practical driving instruction, and a final exam. Before you can take the road test for your driver’s license, you must practice driving with an adult driver after passing the course and receiving your student license.
The same steps stated above must be taken in order to obtain a non-professional driver’s license in 2021. To start driving, you must get a learner’s permit, wait 90 days, train with an adult driver who is licensed, and pass the road test. However, the DMV has altered some of its testing protocols in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. For instance, the DMV has temporarily canceled all road tests but is still allowing qualified drivers to take an online knowledge test. For the most recent information and changes, visit the DMV website.
You should practice driving as much as you can and become familiar with the traffic laws if you want to pass your driving test. Additionally, you should be familiar with the vehicle, its controls, and how to use them before the test. You’ll receive a grade based on how well you can drive safely and adhere to the traffic laws during the test. You risk failing the test if you commit any serious mistakes or make a lot of small mistakes.
The DMV reports that in Connecticut, 40% of first-time test takers fail their driving exam. You can, however, improve your chances of passing the exam and receiving your driver’s license by properly preparing and practicing. Throughout the exam, keep in mind to maintain your composure and concentration, and to put safety before expediency or speed.
After passing your driving test and submitting the necessary paperwork, it normally takes 7 to 10 business days for you to obtain your license in the mail in Connecticut.
