Here in Florida at least it was 30 minutes on an old computer selecting the correct answer lol.. then our for a few laps around a small course then out the door with a nice new license to drive on! Legally they'd let me drive a manual, automatic or even a larger tuck! It's insanity! I'm sure other states have decent laws when it comes to who can drive but in Florida feels like they'll let any eejit behind the wheel!
Wow, that is easy. Definitely not like here. We have graduated licensing.First you write a written test to get your permit. Then you have a first road test to get your license that allows you to drive by yourself. And yes the first test is actually taken throughout the city. Then the final test is a highway test, and yes as the name implies, you are driving on the highway. If you pass the final highway test, your get your full license which allows you to drive with very little exceptions on your license.The whole process took me just over 3 years, but you are given 5 years to complete all the steps. You have to wait a certain time period before taking one test to the next.
