密歇根州驾照
搬到美国后，在密歇根州拿到你的第一本驾照。
流程是这样的
- 1你到了你搬到了密歇根州，想在这里开车。
- 2学习许可你拿着学习驾驶许可（learner permit）上路练车。
- 3笔试你参加笔试。
- 4路考你上车参加路考。
- 拿驾照考试通过，驾照就到手了。
如果你刚到美国
如果你在其他州的驾照已经过期
过期不到四年，你的旧驾照仍然可以当作身份证明；过期超过四年，你就要从临时学习驾驶许可（Temporary Instruction Permit）和驾驶技能考试重新开始，而且只要你开口问，分支办事处（branch office）的工作人员可以免除 30 天的练习期。外国驾照一旦过期，无论刚过期多久，都要重新考学习许可和驾驶技能考试。
你的社会安全号码（SSN）
提供你的号码，以及谁能看到
州法律和联邦法律要求州务卿办公室（Secretary of State）收集社会安全号码（SSN），用来核验美国公民身份或合法居留身份，并协助追缴子女抚养费；你提供的每一项信息都会经过核验。如果你没有社会安全号码，就必须出示社会安全局（SSA）开具的不符合条件信函（letter of ineligibility），且开具时间不超过 60 天。
要参加的考试
路考
如果你持有的是加拿大、德国、韩国以外任何国家的驾照，就必须参加路考——在国外开了多少年车都不能免考。以下情况也必须参加：你已满 18 岁且从未持有过驾照；你上一本驾照过期超过四年；或者你申请的是分级驾照制度（Graduated Driver Licensing）下的二级中级驾照（Level 2 Intermediate License）。
首次申领的普通驾照（operator's license）或营业驾照（chauffeur's license），必须经过包含驾驶技能考试的考核才会核发。

路考当天带什么
考试用车和保险
考官在考试前会检查车辆，只要车辆不符合法律或安全标准，考试就会取消——少一面侧视镜、坏一个尾灯就够了。考官还会查看有效的密歇根州无过失保险（Michigan No-Fault）证明、车辆登记证，以及贴有当年年检标签的车牌。
只要有缺陷会让车内人员处于危险中，考官就有理由拒绝考试。检查项目包括：刹车、刹车灯（1986 年及以后的车型还包括高位刹车灯）、车门、油量、前照灯、暖风和除雾器、喇叭、轮毂螺母（每辆车最多只允许缺少一颗）、消音器、车内后视镜和左侧外后视镜、车内每个人的安全带和座椅、车速表、悬挂、尾灯、轮胎、前后转向灯、挡风玻璃，以及雨刮和喷水器。
驾驶位和副驾驶位的车门必须能从车内和车外两侧打开——只能从一边打开的车门通不过检查。如果挡风玻璃上的裂纹挡住了驾驶人的视线，考官也可以拒绝考试。
如果用驾校教练车参加考试，必须先把教学标识取下来——考试期间不允许挂“Student Driver”（学员驾驶）标识。
需要驾驶人主动开启的系统——自动泊车、四向摄像头、自动驾驶——在驾驶技能考试期间不允许使用。如果你不确定某项功能算不算，考试开始前先问考官。
考试用车必须出示有效的保险证明、在有效期内的车辆登记证和有效车牌。指南还建议开一辆你熟悉、平时练过的车——这是建议，不是规定。
发动机一启动就自动工作的系统——倒车影像、盲区提示灯、车道偏离警报——在驾驶技能考试期间可以使用。新款车自带的辅助功能不需要关掉。
去哪里办
谁来考你
不是州政府自己考——驾驶技能考试只能通过全州范围内经主管部门授权的公立和私营驾驶考试机构进行。驾驶技能考试没有在州务卿办公室（Secretary of State）办理这个选项。

“If you have an expired foreign driver’s license or an out-of-state license that has been expired for at least four years, you must apply for a TIP and pass a driving skills test before a Michigan license may be issued.”
“State and federal laws require the Secretary of State to collect Social Security numbers to verify U.S. citizenship or legal presence and to assist in child support collection. A letter of ineligibility from the Social Security Administration must be presented if you do not have a Social Security number and wish to obtain a driver’s license or ID card. The letter can be no more than 60 days old. All Social Security information will be verified.”
“You will need to take a driving skills test if: • You are applying for a Level 2 Intermediate License under Graduated Driver Licensing. • You are age 18 or older, have never been licensed and are applying for an original license. • Your last driver’s license has been expired for more than four years. • You hold a driver’s license from a country other than Canada, Germany, or the Republic of Korea (South Korea).”
“The secretary of state shall not issue an original operator's or chauffeur's license without a vehicle group designation or indorsement without an examination that includes a driving skills test”

“Before any testing takes place, the driving skills test examiner will inspect the vehicle that the applicant will drive. If the vehicle does not meet the required legal or safety standards (for example, a missing side view mirror or a broken taillight), the test will be cancelled. The examiner will also check for a valid certificate of Michigan No-Fault insurance, vehicle registration, and a license plate with the correct year's tab.”

“Certain defective vehicle equipment is reason for refusal of the driving skills test if it jeopardizes the safety of the vehicle's occupants.”
“* The driver and passenger doors must work from the inside and outside. Doors that cannot be opened are safety hazards. ** Examiners may refuse to administer a test if the vehicle's windshield is cracked so that it obstructs the driver's view.”
“When used for testing purposes, driver education vehicles must not display any warning signs used for training. This includes "Student Driver" identification signs.”
“Driver-activated features and systems are not allowed during the driving skills test. If there is any question about whether a system or device is permitted, check with the driving skills test examiner before the test begins.”

“You must show proof of valid insurance, current vehicle registration and valid license plate for the test vehicle.”
“Passively active devices or systems are those that engage as soon as the engine is running and don't require any additional action on the part of the driver. Examples may include the backup camera, blind-spot indicator lights or a lane-departure alarm. Passively active devices and systems are allowed during the driving skills test.”
“Driving skills testing services are provided only through a privatized, testing program. This program utilizes a statewide network of public and private driver testing business authorized by the department to conduct the driving skills tests.”
