You may take the written, vision, and driving test in any DMV office which provides driver license services.

2- Take a test of the traffic laws, road signs, and driving safety rules (written or oral) to find out if you know how to handle your vehicle while abiding with the laws. The questions will cover the information mentioned in this course. The test is available in many languages.
