What You Must Know To Get A Driver's License In North Carolina To inform motorists what they must know in order to obtain a driver's license in North Carolina, Coleman W. Roberts, President of the Carolina Motor Club, has had four timely articles prepared using the Driver Manual issued by the Highway Safety Division of the North Carolina Department Motor Vehicles as a reference guide. These articles concern, "General Information and the Eye Test," "Road Sign Test", Road Rules Test", and "Practical Driving Test". When you apply for your examina tion. you should have a car in which to take the test, have somebody who is a licensed driver with you if you are applying for a license for the first time, have the fee to pay for your license and be familiar with driving rules and safe driving practice*. "You want to be able to drive and walk on the highway without fear of being injured or killed by i. nother driver. One of the means by which the State provides safety for you and your family is the driv - er 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 regu lations 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 li cense in North Carolina you must be at least 16 years old. Applica tion for a license for a person under 18 years of age must be countersigned by a parent, guar dian or employee. You may apply for a license at one of the Depart ment of Motor Vehicle examination stations. The two types of driver's license obtainable are operator and chauf feur. Chauffeur's licenses must be renewed on July 1 of each year and a person must be 18 years of age to procure one and must be 21 years old to drive a public pass enger-carrying vehicle. Fee for both operator's and chauffeur li cense is S2 00 for the original and .50 for a duplicate The operator's license is effective for four years. A person who drives a road roller or road machinery, a farm tractor or farm machinery if it i - only being moved from one job to another does not need a license of any kind. It is possible to ob tain an instruction permit from an examiner, which is good for 30 nays. but you must be accompanied by a licensed driver sitting in the -tat beside you while you are learning to drive. This permit may be extended more than a month if necessary. Driver's licenses must be car ried always while driving and you must show your license to any law enforcement official who asks to see it, also to any person involved iii an accident with you if he re guests to see the license. Restricted licenses can be issued to those persons needing special MORE PEOPLE ARB SMOKING CAMELS than ever before I |if ? /" N / Mrs. June Slocomb. Housewife, says: \ H "EXPERIENCE is the BEST TEACHER.' I tried MANY BRANDS DURING THE WARTIME CIGARETTE SHORTAGE! ? I LEARNED there's no J OTHER CIGARETTE LIKE 1 A CAMEL!".y C* 1 equipment to drive. To keep your license up to date, any change of name or address should be sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Out of state drivers may use their home state license for a per iod of not more than 90 days in North Carolina providing the motor vehicles is duly registered in the home state. You must first be licensed in this state before ac cepting chauffeur's job in North Carolina. The Highway Safety Division ex aminers, according to the Driver Manuel, may ask you the following Questions which a careful study of this article will enable you to answer: 1.
