• Does getting a DUI automatically result in a suspended license?

  Driving is a privilege, not a legal right. In every state, drivers can have their license taken away if they are found guilty of behaviors that endanger the safety of other motorists. This includes driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The length of time you will have a suspended license for a DUI varies by state. Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri will suspend your drivers license for just 30 days if you are a first time offender. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia, however, take a much stricter approach to punishing drunk drivers and will pull your license for one year on the first offense. Regardless of where they live, motorists can expect progressively harsher punishments for repeated DUI offenses. New Jersey drivers convicted of a DUI will have a suspended license for three months on the first offense, two years on the second offense, and ten years for the third offense. Vermont and Connecticut will permanently suspend the drivers license of a third ti...

• How useful is a free drivers permit practice test?

  Practice tests for the drivers permit test are very useful, if you want to pass the learners permit test the first time you take it and be on the road to getting a regular drivers license. Free tests, available from your state motor vehicle office, are usually only about ten questions long; some states have several available. These tests are taken right out of the driver’s manual.  But, the more practice tests you take, the better you’ll be at taking the exam to get your drivers permit. Some people find that the free tests aren’t quite comprehensive enough to make them 100% confident that they’ll pass the regular test. Taking some extra practice tests compiled by expert third-party companies that specialize in creating practice tests will reinforce what you have studied--and will boost your test-taking confidence. Many of these companies have put together learners permit practice tests for every single state; and these tests have more questions, so you g...

• Does the state's free DMV permit practice test have the same questions as t...

  Yes, but the questions may not be exactly the same when you take the learners permit test. The practice test questions from the DMV consist of about ten random samplings from the drivers handbook. For example, when you take a practice drivers license test, the sample questions may ask you about turning right on a red light. The actual test may not have that question at all; instead, it might ask you about a four-way stop. The best way to prepare for the drivers permit test is to study the drivers manual and take plenty of practice tests, so you have lots of exposure to any type of question the test will throw at you. In addition to taking the free DMV permit practice test, which have a limited number of questions, you can also buy permit practice tests with more questions that you can also take on your home computer. This allows you extra practice. Once you are consistently scoring well on the sample questions, you have a much higher likelihood of passing the DMV test so you can get...

• Is a work permit the same as a restricted or hardship license?

  While some states group all of these under the same category, a work permit is usually considered to be a bit more limited that a restricted or hardship license.That's because a work permit normally only allows you to drive to and from work. Meanwhile, a restricted or hardship license allows you to drive within certain hours of the day - perhaps to go to the doctor's office, school, or grocery store - as well as to and from your job. Some states also offer hardship licenses to young drivers under the legal driving age, depending on their family needs and distance from school and public transportation.Again, though, states define work permits and hardship licenses differently, so you'll need to inquire with your state's driver's license agency to specifically find out what driving activities you're allowed to do - and when.If you have a revoked drivers license, you might find it more difficult to obtain a work permit or hardship license than if you have a suspended drivers ...
