You should always qualify for all endorsements that your employer requires. However, it may be a wise investment in your professional future to obtain as many CDL endorsements as you can.
When you are ready to apply for your first license, take your acceptable forms of ID to the State Highway Patrol exam station, also known as the BMV office. Prepare to have your eyes examined, picture taken and be able to answer questions regarding your physical and mental state of health. When you successfully complete your written temps test, go to a Deputy Registrar office to get your permit packet. If you need additional help finding your local office, log onto www.bmv.ohio.gov.
You will have no problems contacting them. Just call (614) 752-7500 or go online to http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/contact.stm
Ohio is much stricter than other states regarding who can bring you for your permit. If you are over age 18, anyone age 21 or older can bring you. If you are younger than 18, your legal guardian must bring you. They are there to co-sign for your permit packet. If it is impossible for your parent or legal guardian to bring you, you will need to substitute them for someone who qualifies as a “responsible”. They will need to bring 2 forms of ID. To find out more about this just go to www.bmv.ohio.gov.
Yes. You will be given a vision exam that will screen your eyes for acuity, horizontal fields, and color blindness.
No need to worry about that. You will have your driver’s license photo taken at the BMV when you go in to take your exam. It’s a simple process and it won’t take long at all. Look your Best!
Applying for a license in Ohio is a process. First, you have to obtain your packet and pass your vision test and written test. Next, you have to wait at least 6 months before scheduling a road test. During your 6 month wait, you must acquire at least 24 hours of classroom education, 8 hours of driving time with a certified instructor and 50 hours of driving time with a licensed driver. At least 10 of those hours must be night time driving.
You may wear your hair the same way you would normally wear it; however, it should not be covering your face or your eyes. The purpose of the photo is to be able to identify who you really are. Besides, you would not want to hide that amazing face!
Wear your normal make-up; however, the less make-up the better. As long as you are not wearing so much make-up to where you are unrecognizable, you will be fine!
Some states are moving towards face recognition technology that will be able to uniquely identify each individual. A straight face on the photo helps distinguish who you really are. This is all in an effort to stop fraud.
If you can't find the answer to your question above, please use our Beginner Driver Q & A Section to get a professional answer from our experts! If you need any further assistance, you're welcome to contact us directly at [email protected] .
You should know that the Ohio permit test comes in two parts. The two parts cover Ohio motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs. The driver’s manual is the best source when it comes to studying for the permit test. Questions will only come from the manual, so there won’t be any surprises.
Ohio calls their driver’s manual Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws. Begin studying there. You are expected to pass a test given in two parts, the motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs. Questions will cover motor vehicle laws such as safety, highway warnings, traffic signs and signaling devices. You will need to spend plenty of time learning the rules of the road in order to ensure that you pass your test on the FIRST try.
Absolutely! If you are under 18, you must have at least 24 hours of classroom education and 8 hours of road time with an instructor. If you are over 18, you do not have to take driver’s education. Remember, taking driver’s education could give you great discounts on auto insurance.
It’s simple to get an Ohio driver’s manual, also called, Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws. You may go pick one up from a local Deputy Registrar’s Office or you can download a PDF version from http://publicsafety.ohio.gov/links/hsy7607.pdf
There’s really no getting around it. If you want to eliminate any chances of surprise, you should read the whole manual. The state of Ohio recommends it and you will be confident taking your test knowing that you have studied everything that could possibly be on the permit test.
The permit test has a total of 40 questions. The test is divided into 2 sections. One section consists of 20 questions regarding road signs and the other section consists of 20 questions about motor vehicle laws. You must correctly answer 15 questions from each section.

Ohio proudly issued out approximately 2,007,439 driver’s licenses in 2011. These people passed their test the first time with little to no hassle because of preparation and confidence. You can easily be one of these people too with proper studying and preparation.
Have you read the entire driver’s manual? Can you easily recall the rules of the road without assistance? Do you score high on practice tests available online? Are you familiar with ALL road signs? If you answered YES to all of these questions, then you are ready to take your permit test!

Once you are ready to take your exam, gather your documents and go to your local BMV office. Find out more at www.bmv.ohio.gov.
Yes. Your parent, legal guardian or legal custodian must bring you for your permit test. If they can not bring you, then someone who meets Ohio standards for “responsible” person must bring you.

Find out more information about this at www.bmv.ohio.gov or call (614) 752-7500
The Ohio driver’s permit test consists of 2 sections: motor vehicle laws and traffic signals.

The section regarding traffic signals will cover railroads, traffic lights, construction signs, road work signs and much more.
There are 2 sections on the permit test consisting of 20 questions each. That means that the Ohio permit test has a total of 40 questions. You must get 15 questions or 75% correct from each section.
If you score a 75% or above, you have passed. Since the Ohio permit test is divided into 2 sections, you must answer 15 out of 20 questions correct from each section. Your goal is to answer a total 30 out of 40 questions correct.
The test is divided into 2 sections consisting of 20 questions each. You can only miss 5 questions from each section.
Mistakes will be less common if you study the manual and take the practice tests available online. There is only one correct answer for each question, so don’t get confused. People make their biggest mistakes by being unprepared, rushing through the exam and confusing traffic laws.
NO, you won’t be permitted to use the driver’s manual during your permit test. You will do amazing without the manual if you prepare yourself before you go.
Check out all the Facebook comments below the test here! This was written by real people who have taken the test.
If you fail the written test, you have an opportunity to take it again when ever you are ready. You will save yourself and everyone else time if you are well prepared before going again.
Take the test again as early as you wish. Really concentrate on your areas of weakness before taking the test again.
If you only hold a learners permit, you must have a licensed driver age 21 or older in the front seat with you at all times. Other than your supervising licensed driver, you may have up to 3 other passengers in the car with you.
You may drive on any public street or road. You are encouraged to drive often and in many different settings. Just have your licensed driver sitting next to you in the vehicle at all times.
You will be asked to perform basic driving moves on the day of your exam. We suggest you practice driving on rural routes and on interstate highways. You should also practice driving in residential, down-town and parking lot areas. You want to cover most types of driving situations while practicing.
You sure can. You are encouraged to drive in different places. It will help you become a better driver. Always be sure to have your supervising licensed driver accompanying you at all times.
There are several driving schools in Ohio. Places such as http://drivingacademyohio.com/ and http://www.drivingdirectory.com/Ohio.htm will give you what you need.
You may want to stay away from the Sharonville location, according to ww.news.cincinnati.com. A 2010 report from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle showed that the Sharonville site had the highest failure rate in the state. This is believed to be mainly due to the highly congested area. The lowest failure rate was in Napoleon.
Yes, you should remember to bring your unexpired temporary instruction permit identification card. If under 18, you need to bring your driver’s education certificate. If you are under 18, bring proof of your 50 hour affidavit. A car in good working condition & a licensed driver age 21 or older
It will help you to know that the Ohio driving exam has two parts: the driving test and maneuverability test. The road test will examine your ability to safely share the road with others. The maneuverability test will examine your ability to move and handle your car in a 9’ by 20’ box outlined with markers or cones.
If you can, use the night before your Ohio road test as one more REALLY good practice. Although you should be well prepared at this point, give yourself more practice by driving through four way stops, three way stops, stop lights and crosswalks. If you can’t practice anymore, use this time to think optimistic about showing your great driving skills to the examiner the next day.
Make a road test appointment online at https://www.dps.state.oh.us/dxexamscheduling/dxverify.aspx. Or call 614-752-7500.
After you have scheduled your road test, you will be told when and where to go to take your road test. Check out locations at www.bmv.ohio.gov.
No, you are responsible for providing your own vehicle during the road test. The vehicle must be registered, insured and in good working condition. It will be a good idea to use a vehicle that you are comfortable driving.
If you are 18 or older, any licensed driver age 21 or older can bring you. If you are under 18 years old, your legal guardian or the person who is responsible for you under Ohio state standards must bring you.
Keep in mind that you are being graded on how well you handle your vehicle. You must pass both the road test and maneuverability test. Buckle your seat belt and keep both hands on the steering wheel while testing. You will be observed on how well you stop and start, make proper left and right turns, drive in the proper lane.
On the maneuverability part of the road test points will be deducted from you for stopping to check your progress, bumping the markers, miscalculating stopping distance. Automatic failure will come as a result of knocking down a marker or other dangerous actions.
You are required to take a road test and a maneuverability test. The road test will examine how well you handle your self on the road with other drivers. The maneuverability test will involve your vehicle and point markers. This test is done in two steps and must be done in one continuous motion. Find out more at www.bmv.ohio.gov.
You will have to perform a maneuverability test. It is one of the two step processes for the Ohio road test exam. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles explains it in two steps. First Step: You must drive forward through a 9’ x 20’ box formed by four markers. The examiner will tell you to steer to the right or left of the 20’ point marker. You will then steer to a straight ahead course and stop when your car bumper is even with the point marker. Second Step: From your stopped position at the end of the first step, you must be backed past the point marker. You must straighten your car and back through the box and come to a stop with the front bumper even with the two back markers. Before the test is finished, your car must be out of the test area without running over a marker or making any dangerous actions.
Every time you fail your test, you have to wait 7 days before taking it again. When you retake your test, you only have to take the part of the road test that you failed. If you fail four times, you will have to begin the entire process over again by obtaining your permit again.
Some people develop a fear for driving after they have had an accident. The human brain has realized there is a danger involved and as a result your subconscious blows this phobia out of proportion. Websites such as www.fear-of-driving.org can help you further explore ways of overcoming the fear. Also taking driver’s courses may help build confidence.
Great Job! You passed your exam. Once you have passed the driving and maneuverability tests, you will go to your local deputy registrar's office to receive your license.
If you are under age 18 when you get your license, you will not be allowed to drive between midnight and 6am unless there is a licensed driver over the age of 21 in the vehicle with you. Also, this restriction does not apply if you are traveling to work or school.
The state of Ohio wants you to remain safe while driving on the road. Remember to watch for unexpected obstacles such as animals (deer, squirrels, dogs, cats) holes, rubbish from other vehicles, construction workers and children. Keep in mind that EVERYONE who drives in Ohio must carry automobile insurance.
Ohio, like many other states, has mandatory car insurance laws. If you are pulled over without insurance, your license could be suspended. Ohio has its very own insurance site that lists authorized insurance companies in Ohio. Go to www.insurance.ohio.gov.
Usually, you will need your driver’s license, vehicle information and information such as driver’s education certificate (for discount purposes). A great company that can help you find cheap, honest, and reputable companies is Serenity Insurance. Call their number at 1-800-774-0520.
Your price tag will always depend on factors such as your age, location, driving record and car type. Insurance companies like Allied Auto Insurance, claim to provide some of the lowest rates in Ohio.
The Ohio Department of Insurance regulates - but doesn’t set - insurance company premiums. Therefore, individual insurance companies decide their rates based on factors such as location, age, driving record and car class. According to research, new drivers cost insurance companies more money because of their higher accident rates. Check out www.insurace.ohio.gov for more information about Ohio auto insurance.
Don’t feel discouraged if you fail your road test. You only have to retake the part of the road test that you failed. You must wait 7 days before taking it again.
If you fail your road test in Ohio, your examiner will tell you what you did wrong. You may take it again in 7 days. Since the road test is divided into two parts, you will only have to take the part of the test you failed.
When it is time to renew your license in Ohio, it must be done in person. You may renew your license up to 90 days in advance. Take your license and a $25.75 renewal fee to your local BMV office.
You can only renew your Ohio license in person. Go to your local BMV office with your current license and $25.75 renewal fee.
No, a road test is not necessary if you hold a valid license from another state. Just bring in your valid out of state license along with documents that prove your identity, legal presence in the US and Ohio residence address. If you do not have the actual license with you, you can provide a certified copy of your driving record that indicates the status of the license.
Yes, your out of state permit is valid for use in Ohio. Just be sure to have a valid licensed driver 21 or above in the front passenger seat.
You may drive as long as you wish as long as you are a resident of the state in which you hold the license. Just be sure your out-of-state license is valid.
This will depend on where you are from and what your U.S. status is. To find out more regarding this matter please contact the Ohio BMV office at 614-752-7500.
The answer to all of your driving related questions can be easily answered. Just go to www.bmv.ohio.gov or call (614) 752-7500.
It’s ok for anyone to begin driving in Ohio as early as age 15 ½ as long as they have a valid learner’s permit and have a driver age 21 or older sitting next to them . A license may be obtained as early as age 16, if the permit has been held for at least 6 months.
If you are caught drinking and driving in Ohio, you could face a minimum of three days in jail plus other possible penalties such as license suspension and fines. Drinking and driving laws are not put into place for the purposes of arresting or punishing drivers. They are put into place so that people will avoid deadly and costly situations. So, if you are under 21 years old the BAC limit is .02%. If you are 21 or older, the BAC limit is .08%.
States that don’t commonly require drivers to parallel park generally do not require driver’s to Parallel Park for the road test. The roads and streets in some places aren’t designed for common parallel parking therefore it isn’t on the road test.
Anyone who chooses not to get a driver's license has there own personal reasons. Some people choose not get behind the wheel out of fear of the road, some choose not to because they may have a person who drives for them.
The reason the BMV gives different routes on road test is because if there is only one route people would be familiar with it and not be challenged while driving. Different routes allow for the instructor to see if you as a driver can really handle yourself on the road in different situations. Different routes have different circumstances all of which you are required to know in your day to day driving. Different routes on the road test allow for the examiner to see if you know how to drive well and can do it alone.
