California requires a minimum of 30 hours of driver education. This can be completed online or in a classroom, covering key topics like traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. Our California drivers ed course meets this requirement, allowing Concord students to study at their convenience.
If you don't pass a high school drivers ed class, you won't receive the certificate needed to apply for a California learners permit. Many students choose our online California drivers ed course as an alternative, allowing for flexibility and multiple attempts on tests until they pass. This option ensures you're prepared for the permit exam.
In California, a learner's permit is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued. This gives new drivers ample time to complete the required practice hours and prepare for the California driving test. If your permit expires before you're ready for the test, you'll need to reapply and retake the written exam.
In California, the DMV may require drivers over a certain age, typically 70 or older, to take a driving test to renew their license. The exact requirements vary based on your renewal process and any health-related concerns that may affect driving ability. Regular renewals for younger drivers do not usually require retesting.
Studying time varies for each person. Reviewing the California DMV handbook, practicing with permit practice tests, and familiarizing yourself with local driving rules are key steps. Many find that a few hours of study, spaced out over a week or two, is helpful to confidently pass the California permit test.
A California drivers permit lasts for 12 months. This gives you a year to practice and fulfill the necessary driving hours. If you're under 18, you'll need to hold your permit for at least six months and meet the supervised driving requirements before scheduling your California driving test.
If your California drivers license expires, you may need to take a written test when you renew, especially if it's been expired for a long period. However, you usually don't need to retake the road test unless there are specific concerns. Checking with the DMV for the latest requirements is always best.
In California, teens under 18 are required to complete both a drivers ed course and a minimum of six hours of behind-the-wheel drivers training to qualify for a provisional license. Adults 18 and older don't need to attend driving school, but many find driving classes helpful for preparing for the DMV driving test and gaining practical skills.
