Have a job (or thinking about getting one) requiring you to commute by car? Or would you just prefer to commute that way? Colorado’s diverse economy offers employment and business opportunities in a wide variety of fields, including technology and aerospace (I-25, I-70, and U.S. 36), military and defense (I-25 and Powers Boulevard), fossil fuels and renewables (I-70 and U.S. 85), and agriculture and ranching (I-76 and U.S. 287).
In Colorado, all new drivers, regardless of age, must obtain an instruction permit to practice supervised driving before they can take the drive (road) test for a driver’s license. The requirements for obtaining an instruction permit include being at least 15 years old, passing a vision test, and passing a written knowledge test on safe driving. (You may take the knowledge test online.) You must also obtain consent from a parent or guardian if you’re under 18. You must also complete a driver’s education course before your drive test if you’re under 16.
The Colorado DMV written driving test has 25 questions covering road signs and signals, driving under the influence, driving rules, safety rules, and legal items. All questions are based on the official driver’s manual (Colorado DMV Handbook (CO Driver's Manual) 2025). The passing score is 80%.
