Hi, Can anyone help please?
On H4 and have my ITIN number and wish to start driving lessons. I'm in MA. Does anyone know how to get the ball rolling?
Cheers

Re: Driving Lessons
Check the DMV/BMV website for mass...it'll tell you there....chances are, you'll have to go to a dmv/bmv office, take the theory test and eye test, when passed, you'll be given a learners permit and you can take classes or whatever, and then take the test, if you don't have a UK license you might need certain amount of hours driven in lessons and night driving before being allowed to take a test.

Don't forget to study the Driver's Handbook for your state either...

Re: Driving Lessons
Yeah, the test is pretty easy, don't have to do anything complicated like in the UK...it'll probably scare you more taking the test *lol*
But do read up on the state driving rules, especially fond of asking about penalities...

Yeah, you could probably pass the test just by correctly answering all of the alcohol questions.

and there's tough penalties over here, but shite drivers don't get pulled over unless there speeding...easy way to spot the drunks, there the only ones doing the speed limit...occasionally

Re: Driving Lessons
I learned to drive in MA. This was before 9/11 though. Just get the handbook and read it before doing the test to get your learners permit. I think all I needed was the ITIN number and my passport with the stamps in it to show we were in the system for immigration. I don't know if you need to show your social security card now to get a learners permit. I know my son did when he started to learn, but of course that was after we had got them. Best of luck . The actual test is pretty easy. More or less just round the block, and making sure that you can drive on the right hand side of the road.

I passed my test in MA 2 year's ago. If you are on a H4 visa you need to go to the social security office and get a letter saying you do not have a social security number. This you take to the driving test center so that you can get your learner's permit.

Re: Driving Lessons
Just about to go and do all this today.
Incidentally, the chap at the BOS RMV (head office I guess) stated that I am NOT entitled to a driving licence!!??
Makes me laugh, yet drives me crazy at the same time!
Cheers for all your help.
