It doesn’t take an act of Congress to get a driver’s license in District of Columbia. However, if you have designs on cruising the roads inside the Beltway, it would be wise to make sure that you are familiar with the rules and regulations that drivers need to obey. Unless you can demonstrate your knowledge and ability to operate a vehicle safely, you’ll be left relying on public transportation or strolling your way around the DMV Region.
Once you decide you are ready to find a more efficient way to travel, you’ll need to get a District of Columbia driver’s license. District of Columbia requires you to answer 80% of the 30 questions correctly to receive a passing score on your official driver’s knowledge test. While the answers to some of the test questions are rather obvious, you might be surprised to learn there are others that may require some thought. Without exceptional preparation, you may find yourself one wrong answer away from having someone save you a seat on the Metro. Fear not! There is a resource available to you offering expertly designed preparation with a proven track record.
