-Practice for your road test.
-Take a driver education course or a DMV-approved pre-licensing course. (5 hour class)
-Use your form MV-285 driver education certificate or MV-278 pre-licensing course certificate to make an appointment for your road test by phone or on-line.
-Pass your road test and receive your NYS driver license.
I took a lesson in UK – rules are different & they’re quite strict. But you really only need one plus perusal of the rule book to pass if you’re a driver.
“why pay someone for lessons…Upstate, ran a stop sign.”

See Pete, maybe if you had taken professional lessons, they would have taught you what a stop signs means.
I agree with DIBS, that requirement is BS.
I am going to Wilbraham, outside of Springfield. Its off 91.

why wouldn’t you take lessons before taking your driving test?
I’ve been driving for 20 years in the UK (professionally for part of it) but I wouldn’t take my test here without having a few lessons first.
Snappy! Is that true?! Sounds like something the ACLU should deal w/!
I don’t understand the double-parking thread, either.
