• The motorcycle learner permit is valid for 12 months and may be renewed for one additional six-month period. 

• Required testing includes vision, traffic signs, and the motorcycle knowledge test. 

Each driver license test must be passed separately. Applicants for a CDL Class A, B or C license should study the required chapters of the CDL Handbook . Applicants for a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle learner permit should study the Motorcycle Handbook . The CDL Handbook  is available from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You may also obtain the CDL, Regular and Motorcycle handbooks on the DMV website and at the local driver license offices. Visit the DMV website at MyNCDM V.gov . 

## Test Requirements for an Original Driver License 

## Vision 

Whether you are applying for a learner permit, an original license or a renewal license in person, your vision must be checked to see that you meet certain standards. If you need corrective lenses to bring your vision up to the required standards, you must wear the lenses at all times while driving and your license will indicate a restriction that you must wear corrective lenses. The penalty for driving without the proper corrective lenses is the same as driving without a license. 

## Traffic Signs 

All the information on the traffic signs test is in this handbook. To pass the signs test, you must identify the traffic signs by color and shape and explain what each means. 

## Knowledge Test 

The knowledge test is about traffic laws and safe driving practices. Audio tests are available, upon request, for those who have difficulty reading. 

## Driving Skills 

The driving test is an on-the-road demonstration of your driving ability. You must perform this test after you have passed all the other tests. The first time you apply for a license, you must take the driving test. You might also have to take it to renew your license. It is not required for a learner permit. 

During the on-the-road test, you will be given an opportunity to perform basic driving patterns and to show your ability to drive safely with traffic. 

## Health Requirements 

Individuals may not be licensed if they suffer from a mental or physical condition that might keep them from driving safely. A person with a disability may be issued a restricted license provided the condition does not keep them from driving safely.
