Knowledge Test / Written Test
1. How to prepare for the test:
You can study for the test by reading the NJ Drivers Manual.
2. How to take the test:
Visit a driver testing center with your 6 Point of ID and purchase an examination permit.
Foreign language options
The written tests are offered in the following languages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, Spanish, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese. Oral tests are offered in English and Spanish.
If the knowledge test is not available in your native language you may use a state-approved interpreter, however, you must first attempt to complete the knowledge test in an offered language. If you fail to pass the test and feel you need an interpreter, lease inform the MVC personnel at the testing location and they will make arrangements to secure an interpreter in your native language and pay the appropriate fees. Once an interpreter is secured you will be contacted by an MVC employee with the interpreter appointment date and time. You must inform the MVC of the need for an interpreter at least two weeks in advance of the date you intend to take the written knowledge test.
Deaf or hard of hearing options
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you can take the knowledge test with an MVC-approved interpreter. The MVC will pay the interpreter’s fees directly associated with the knowledge test after submission of a properly completed payment voucher form. In order to qualify, the interpreter must be one of the following:
– Certified by the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf and listed with the New Jersey Division of the Deaf.
– Evaluated by the Division of the Deaf and on the approved list of that division’s interpreters.
TAKE THE PRACTICE TEST
The NJ Motor Vehicle Commission (NJ MVC) provides a NJ
permit practice test to help you prepare prior to taking the
written NJ permit test.

6 Driving hacks
Who doesn’t enjoy learning new and helpful tips on how to save time or do something more effectively? Known as clever solutions to tricky problems, “hacks” have become increasingly popular lately, especially with the use of social media. Although it can be very useful to learn how to untangle the mess of wires behind your office desk using binder clips, I am going to share something more relevant to my expertise driving tips that can help you with your daily commute. Here are Amin Driving School’s top 6 driving hacks.
1
On a street with a lot of traffic lights, drive exactly the speed limit to increase your chances of hitting green lights
Most cities have it rigged that a car going the speed limit will cruise through stoplights, unhindered.
2
Never use cruise control in the rain
If your tires lose contact with the road your car will automatically speed up. This could lead to hydroplaning, when the tire encounters more water than it can scatter.
3
Can’t remember which side the gas tank is on?
Check the fuel gauge, most cars have an arrow that points to which side the gas tank is on.
4
Adjust your mirrors to avoid blind spots
Despite common belief, when adjusting your side view mirrors you should not see your own car. The mirrors should slightly overlap the field of view from the rear view mirror.
5
Accident on the highway?
When an accident on the highway backs up traffic, pay attention to what lane the 18-wheelers are in. Truckers usually communicate and let each other know which lane the wreck is in.
6
Pay attention to “where” highway signs are placed…
Which side the exit number is on will indicate whether the exit is on the left or right.
I know, but every city has some.
Weird Driving Laws Of New Jersey
Although traffic laws are put into place to protect us, there are always a collection of bizarre laws that have somehow been passed. Many laws are created out of common sense and necessity, such as stopping at a red light, wearing your seat belt, and no drinking while driving. However, every so often we find out that states have some laws that seem peculiar to us these days. Unfortunately, the process of removing these laws can often be costly and time consuming. Of all the driving laws put into place in New Jersey, two laws have stood out as strange and likely unknown.
In 1928, a law was created that stated that all motorists must honk before passing another car, bicyclist, skater and even a skateboarder. Yet, few people actively follow this law. Can you remember the last time a driver had signaled a lane change or pass by giving you a honk? Imagine how noisy the roads would be! Nevertheless, it is always important to completely warn and alert other cars in order to safely change lanes or pass someone.
Another law in New Jersey might prove to be more upsetting to you. This law states that if you have been convicted of driving while intoxicated, you may never again apply for personalized license plates. So, if you seriously can’t live without a personalized license plate having a clever tag name such as SUPRBAD or NASD GRL, then avoid getting a DUI, drinking and driving, or consider moving to any other state than New Jersey!
Even when a law seems ridiculous and strange, it is still a system of rules that we, as drivers, must recognize. We must understand that officers have the right and responsibility to enforce these laws. Driving laws are created to keep people safe and secure behind the wheel and additionally increase driving safety for teens.
Short answer: You should.
Why Should I Care About a Few Points On My License?
Have you ever made an illegal turn, forgotten to signal or sped past the speed limit? A traffic ticket in which you are convicted of a moving violation is often accompanied by points on your license. The worse the offense, the more points tacked onto your driver’s license. It might seem like no big deal and you might find yourself thinking, “Yeah, I have some points on my license, but they don’t do anything.” However, that sentiment is incorrect.
When you get points on your license, you may find yourself paying surcharges that are charged along with court fines and fees based on a large number of points. Even worse, in New Jersey, once 12 points are accumulated, the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) is authorized to suspend your license. It is highly likely that points will also affect your insurance rates. Many insurance companies regularly review your record and may therefore raise your premium.
There are a few ways to see how many points you may have. The first possible way is to check this list provided by the Motor Vehicle Commission of New Jersey (MVC), which outlines how many points different driving infractions are worth. Another possible way to see how many points you have is to request your driving record from the DMV. The third possible way is to call your insurance company. Because many insurance companies regularly check your driving record, they may be able to tell you how many points you have.
Insurance.com conducted an analysis of over 490,000 policy quotes in which they found that the average policyholder’s auto insurance premium can be increased by as much as 22% with a single ticket citing ‘reckless driving’. But don’t worry; there is no need to lose sleep if you have points on your license! In fact, there are a few ways you can decrease your number of points!
1
Waiting it out
After a certain number of years (usually 3) points will be deducted from your driver’s license.
2
Going to traffic school
While the pain of sitting in a classroom for eight hours may seem like a lot to bear, it also means eliminating up to 2 points.
3
Take a defensive driving class
This will not only deduct points from your license, but it may also result in an insurance rate reduction. This course will teach you how to drive safer with accident-preventing techniques.
Regardless of whether or not you have points on your license, you should still call your insurance company to find out their policies and see how a defensive driving class could benefit you and your family.
