Should be able to find out for sure on the DMV website. The first answer is how I remember it from years ago. I had to pay for my daughter to do the required behind the wheel portion with a school that offers the behind the wheel, I don't remember how the drivers education worked. They don't offer it in school anymore tho from what I do remember... Is been 12 years....
I'm pretty sure, if you're under 18, you gotta take drivers education and behind the wheel classes. then you can take the drivers test. if you're over 18, or you turn 18 before finishing drivers ed, you can just take the drivers test. but I'm not sure. might wanna double check with the DMV.
