About the Michigan permit test
The basics, in plain English, from the What Every Driver Must Know.
Graduated licensing for teens
Teens move through Level 1 Learner's, Level 2 Intermediate and Level 3 Full licenses, with two segments of driver education. (What Every Driver Must Know, p. 4)
Start at 14 years, 9 months
After Segment 1 of driver education, you can get a Level 1 Learner's License at 14 years, 9 months with a parent or guardian. (What Every Driver Must Know, p. 4)
50 hours of practice
Before the driving skills test, log at least 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night. (What Every Driver Must Know, p. 5)
No phones while driving
Holding or using a phone while driving is illegal for everyone; teens on Level 1 or 2 may not make or take calls except in emergencies. (What Every Driver Must Know, p. 24)
Points stay two years
Points stay on your record for two years; 12 or more in two years means a driver reexamination. (What Every Driver Must Know, p. 13–14)
Stop 20 feet from a bus
When a school bus flashes its red lights, stop at least 20 feet away. (What Every Driver Must Know, p. 28)
