i passed a written moped permit test, and passed that road test.
then i passed the written drivers lic test, no pc back in the day first shot, passed the driving test first shot, drove a 88 toronado for the test.
then took a cdl class b with air brake endorsement, passed also paper, no pc yet, and passed the driving test.
then like a jerk i let my cdl go, needed it back, so i had to re test, passed that on a pc along with the air brake endorsement and then passed the road test.
NJ makes you get a permit, its good for 6 months for a cdl. they wont let you take the driving test for at least 30 days.
back in the day if you were 16.5 years old, took drivers ed in HS you could get your permit, but couldn't get a lic till you were 17. when you have a permit you need a lic driver with you and you dont drive at night. once you had your lic you could do whatever you wanted too, none of this one year probation crap and no other passengers, ect. you kids got it tough these days in some states.
