About the Indiana permit test
The basics, in plain English, from the Indiana Driver's Manual.
Permit from 15
At 15 you can get a learner's permit if you're enrolled in a BMV-licensed driver education course; from 16 you need only the documents, the vision screening and the knowledge exam. (Indiana Driver's Manual, p. 3)
A test in two parts
The knowledge exam is multiple choice, with a traffic signs part and a traffic maneuvers part. (Indiana Driver's Manual, p. 5)
180 days with your permit
You hold the learner's permit at least 180 days and log 50 hours of supervised practice, 10 at night, before the driver's license. (Indiana Driver's Manual, p. 9)
Probationary until 21
A license issued before 21 is probationary, with passenger and nighttime limits in the first months. (Indiana Driver's Manual, p. 10)
Hands off the phone
Indiana drivers may use a phone only hands-free, or to call 911 in an emergency. (Indiana Driver's Manual, p. 45)
Move over
Change lanes away from stopped emergency, tow, maintenance and disabled vehicles with flashing lights, or slow to 10 mph under the limit. (Indiana Driver's Manual, p. 51)
