  • 持外国驾照你还要参加交通标志考试,考试涵盖所有标准交通标志。认错两个或更多标志即不及格。9

如果你的外州驾照已过期

如果它仍然有效,或过期不超过六个月,就可以转换。2

  • 过期不超过六个月的,可以免知识考试直接转换。过期超过六个月的,不能转换;你需要用 DL-180 表格申请宾夕法尼亚州学习许可证,并通过知识考试和技能考试。10

你要参加的考试

视力检查

每一名驾照申请人都必须参加视力筛查。同样的筛查也适用于更改驾照类别、添加加注或解除限制的任何人,以及任何被该部门认为视力不符合标准的司机。14

  • 如果你在柜台的视力检查不达标,考官会给你一份眼科检查报告表(DL-102),由验光师、眼科医生或家庭医生为你检查视力并填写该表。15

  • 要在没有限制的情况下合格,你的双眼综合视力必须达到 20/40 或更好。16

  • 你可以提前让你的医生或验光师做视力筛查,也可以在前往驾照中心(Driver License Center)时现场做。如果你戴眼镜或隐形眼镜,请带上它们。17

路考

每位非商业驾照申请人都必须参加驾驶考试,除非根据 75 Pa.C.S. § 1502 免于领照。考试在能代表你想获照驾驶的车辆类别的车辆中进行。18

  • 要拿到驾照,你需要参加并通过视力、知识和道路考试。1

笔试的考试次数

没通过的话,你可以在下一个工作日再考一次。3

  • 驾驶员手册的音频版在 https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dmv/driver-services/pennsylvania-drivers-manual/pa-drivers-manual-audio ,而且只要你提出要求,每个驾照中心(Driver License Center)都会把知识测试大声读给你听。26

持许可证练习驾驶

练车时谁可以坐在你旁边

监督你的持照驾驶人必须年满 21 岁;如果对方是你的配偶、父母、监护人或代行父母职责的人,则须年满 18 岁。此人必须持有你所驾车辆类别的驾照,坐在你旁边的座位上,并且不得受酒精或药物影响。27

路考要带什么

谁陪你去

考试车辆及其保险

驾驶考试的车辆由你提供。车辆必须能代表你申请的类别,注册手续齐全,贴有未过期的检验合格证,你还必须当场出示该车的保险证明。6

去哪里办理
