Taking a Michigan Practice Permit Test Will Help You Get on the Road

Getting behind the wheel for the first time is a thrilling experience, but one that should be entered with caution (as in, there’s a metaphorical yellow light blinking above this intersection). You’ll put your foot on the break. You’ll put the key in the ignition. You’ll turn the key, put the car into drive, and put your foot on the gas.

But wait. Your hands also need to be on the steering wheel. Your mirrors need to have already been adjusted (here are some tips on learning this art), and you need to have looked in every direction before you move the vehicle.

Driving is one of those things that seems so simple, but it is a big deal and not something to enter into lightly. Two of the main things you’ll need to remember when driving is that other vehicles are moving all around you and that traffic only works when everyone is following the rules.

But what are the rules? There are so many and they vary by state. Before you drive in Michigan for the first time, you are going to need to know them all.

When you’re in the preliminary driving stages, you may not know where to start. This is true of any new thing, so don’t be worried. In these beginning days of your Michigan driving journey, you should study the Michigan driver’s manual and then take a Michigan practice permit test. This will give you a big lead on what’s going to be on the actual permit test, giving you a better chance of passing the test the first time you take it. If you’re not sure where to start, contact us. We love to help out new drivers and we have even put together eight different Michigan practice permit tests to help you study for the big day.
