Who This Course Is For
This course is right for you if you are:
- A teen getting ready to take the NJ written permit test for the first time

- An international driver who needs to learn NJ-specific traffic laws and road signs
- Anyone who wants to study the material before making a trip to the MVC
After You Pass the Written Test
Once you pass the MVC written test and get your learner’s permit, the next step is behind-the-wheel practice. New Jersey requires all drivers under 21 to complete 6 hours of instruction with a licensed driving school before taking the road test.
Right Way’s teen behind-the-wheel program fulfills this requirement. You will also need to log supervised practice hours with a licensed adult driver in addition to your lessons.
