Four steps to your license

New York has a set order. Here is each step, and what we do for you at each one.

  1. Step 1

    Get your learner's permit

    You need a New York learner's permit before your first lesson. You get it at the DMV, not at a driving school.

    • Fill out form MV-44 and bring it to a DMV office with proof of identity and date of birth.
    • Take the vision test and the written test. To pass, answer 14 of the 20 questions correctly.
    • Under 18? Read up on New York's junior license rules before you start. We go over them in your first lesson.
  2. Step 2

    Take the 5-hour class

    The DMV requires the 5-hour pre-licensing class before you can book a road test. You leave with the MV-278 certificate.

    $50one class
    Sign up for the 5-hour class
    • Covers the rules of the road, sharing the road, seat belts, and the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving.
    • Bring your learner's permit to class.
    • Keep the MV-278. Without it at your road test, you can't take the test.
    • Class days and times: call for this month's schedule.
  3. Step 3

    Driving lessons

    Private, one-on-one lessons with a New York State DMV certified instructor. We specialize in teenage drivers, and we're patient with nervous ones.

    • Starting, steering and stopping, then traffic, turns, lane changes and parking.
    • Vision and hazard awareness, and New York traffic laws as you drive them.
    • A pre-road-test evaluation, so you know exactly what to work on before test day.
    • Under 18: you also need 50 hours of supervised practice, 15 of them at night, signed off by a parent on form MV-262.
  4. Step 4

    Road test

    We book your road test appointment and bring a Prime Time car for you to take the test in.
