You may take I-93, U.S. Route 3, U.S. Route 4, NH-16, or NH-101 to commute to work. In your free time, you may take U.S. Route 3, NH-16, or the Kancamagus Highway to the White Mountain National Forest and go hiking, camping, or skiing. Or take I-93 through Franconia Notch State Park and savor the vistas from the Franconia Notch State Parkway. Or explore the social scene and vibrant nightlife in Manchester, Portsmouth, or Concord. There are endless possibilities once you start driving. But to do that legally, you must have a driver’s license.
In New Hampshire, the requirements you must meet for a driver’s license include passing a vision test, passing the official New Hampshire DMV written knowledge test on driving theory, and passing a road test. Unlike every other U.S. state, New Hampshire doesn’t issue learner’s permits to student drivers to practice driving under supervision. Instead, a student driver is allowed to practice driving without any official driving credential as long as that driver is supervised by a licensed parent, guardian, or adult at least 25 years old who is seated in the front passenger seat.
