Book excerpt: Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle in New Jersey is an adventure worth having. Anyone who operates a motor vehicle or motor-driven cycle on public streets or highways in New Jersey is required to have a valid driver's license or learner's permit. A vision screening is required for all motorists. In order to operate a motor vehicle on public roadways in the State of New Jersey, you must have a valid driver's license. First-time drivers seeking a New Jersey driver's license must complete the Graduated Driver License (GDL) program to obtain a basic license, requiring you to pass various tests. The road test may be taken only upon successful completion of the knowledge and vision tests. The questions on the New Jersey written knowledge test will be based on the contents of the New Jersey Driver's Manual and will concern the New Jersey traffic laws, road rules, road signs, and safe driving practices. The NJ MVC written test consists of 50 questions, and you'll need at least 40 correct answers to pass (80%). Practice with this sample test of this book to familiarize yourself with the format of the New Jersey driver's license test.
