NC Driving Test

Test your knowledge on the meanings of traffic rules. To get your North Carolina drivers license you are required to take a written test that covers road signs and road rules. This online NC DMV learner’s permit traffic rules practice test for NC Driving Test, with multiple choice questions, is intended to help you prepare for the DMV written knowledge test that is required before you can get your driver’s license. This free practice written driving test is a lesson that is essential for getting your state driver’s license at your local licensing office. Please note, however, that this is not the actual test, and you will not receive your license if you pass this practice test.

A person who repeatedly fails the exam may lose hope and confidence. Failure can also delay or disrupt important life goals and activities. Few employers want to hire someone without a reliable source of transportation. The ability to drive is often a necessity in everyday life. By approaching the permit and license exam the right way, anyone can succeed.

Choose the Right North Carolina Driver License Test for You

Are you a new driver? A teen driver? Perhaps you are looking for the proper license to go with your newly purchased motorcycle? Whatever the reason may be, the North Carolina DMV has the license just for you.

The North Carolina DMV issues licenses in three categories: regular, commercial, and permits & provisional licenses. It is in these categories that you will know exactly the license you’re looking to have and the requirements to getting one. Let’s look at each one more closely.

Regular

Regular licenses come in three types: A, B, and C. This type of license is the most common at DMVs and is the typical choice for drivers who operate their personal vehicles. This type of license has a $5 annual fee.

Commercial

Similar to a regular license, commercial licenses come in three types: Commercial A, Commercial B, and Commercial C. The main difference with commercial licenses is this type is specifically for the transport of passengers and goods/property/materials. A commercial license just may be the match for you if you are looking to start a career as a bus driver. The annual fee for a commercial license starts at $60.

Permits & Provisional Licenses

A big difference in permits and provisional licenses is that these do not serve as an official driver license. Although a permit does give you access to the road, depending on your age and type of permit there are restrictions such as having a licensed adult in the passenger seat. The fee for permits is $20.

Endorsements

There is one more thing you should know: North Carolina licenses come with optional endorsements. What are those you ask? Endorsements can grant or restrict certain privileges depending on the type of license you carry. For example, if you own a motorcycle and have a regular or commercial license, a motorcycle endorsement is needed to fully operate it on the road. This is in addition to passing a motorcycle knowledge and skills test.
