A Driver’s License In North Carolina
Editor’s Note: This ia the trst
of a four-part series concerning
“What You Should Know In Or
der to Obtain a Driver’s License
In North Carolina.” ,
■■■— 0
To inform motorists what they
must know in order to obtain a driv
er’s license in North Carolina, Cole
man W. Roberts, president of the
Carolina Motor Club, has had four
timely articles prepared using the
Driver Manual issued by the High
way Safety Division of ' the North
Carolina Department of Motor Ve
hicles as a reference guide.
These articles concern “General In
formation and the Eye Test,” “Road
Sign Test,” “Road Rules Test” and
“Practical Driving Test.” When you
apply for your examination, you
should have a car in which to take
the test, have somebody who is a li
censed driver with you if you are ap
plying for a license for the first time,
have the fee to pay for your license
and be familiar with driving rules
and safe driving practices.
“You want to be able to drive and
I Araik on the highway without fear of
being injured or killed by another
driver. One of the means by which
the State provides safety for you and
your family is the driver license law.
This law gives you the privilege of
- driving in North Carolina only as
long as you drive safely and obey
the rules and regulations. When you
become unsafe or break the driving
laws of the State then your privilege
may be taken away or suspended.”
To be eligible for a driver’s license
in North Carolina you must be at
least 16 years old. Application for a
license for a person under 18 years
of age must be countersigned by a
parent, guardian or employee. You
may apply for a license at one of the
Department of Motor Vehicle exam
ination stations.

lina providing the motor vehicle is
duly registered in the home state.
You must first be licensed in this
state before accepting chauffeur’s job
in North Carolina.
The Highway Safety Division ex
aminers, according to the Driver
Manual, may ask you the following
questions which a careful study of
this article will enable you to answer:
1. Why is a driver’s examina
tion necessary?
2. How old must you be to get a
regular driver’s license?
3. What are the four tests given
in license examinations?
4. When does your driver’s li
cense expire?
5. Under what conditions can a
learner drive?
6. How long can you drive in
North Carolina on an out-of-state li
cense ?
7. How old must you be to ap-
ply for a chauffeur’s license?
8. When driving, should you
carry your license at all times?
19. Should you report a change
of address to the Department of Mo
tor Vehicles?
10. What is a restricted license?
The first of the four tests, the vi
] sion examination, is a simple test of
! accurate vision and you will be al
• lowed to read certain charts with or
} without glasses. If glasses improve
i. your vision you will be required to
. wear them while driving. The eye
1 test will give an index of your visi
» bility.
r The road sign test will probably be
the next examination given you. In
r formation on phases of this test will
r be explained in the second article of
? this series.
