Permit + License

• If you have passed your permit test, congratulations! You can now start working towards your full license.
• First, choose the school you would like to continue with (links on slide 1)
• Sign up for lessons. Timing is difficult sometimes but you have as much time as you need to complete 18 hours of total lessons (12 hours driving and 6 hours observing).
• Once you have completed your 18 hours and have reached the age of at least 16 and ½, you can take your road test.
• Tip: Sign up for a road test before you have finished your lessons, as they are usually backed up about 1 month.
• Make sure to check your email for any updates, as testing dates may be moved.

License + JOL

• If you have passed your drivers test, congratulations! If not, you are able to try as many times as necessary as long as you pay the 35 dollar fee.
• With your JOL, you are able to drive all by yourself, with some exceptions
• You cannot drive anybody who isn’t an immediate family member and under 18
• You cannot drive between the hours of 12:30 am and 5:00 am.
• Remember, your JOL lasts for 6 months, so 6 months after receiving it you have no restrictions.
• You are also able to get a WHS parking pass after having your JOL for 3 months or more.
