If you do not have one of the licenses mentioned above, you must wait 30 days before a road test can be given. Road tests are given by third party companies certified by the Michigan Department of State. The State does not regulate fees for the road tests - call several places to compare costs. In order to take the road test you must have a Temporary Instruction Permit for at least 30 days or have an International License or a translated, notarized foreign license, a passport, a valid registration for the vehicle to be used on the road test, and an automobile in good mechanical condition. After you pass the road test, you will receive your Michigan driver's license.
Traffic drives on the right.
Speed limits are clearly indicated along highways and in cities. As an automobile owner and driver you are required to purchase license plates and insurance. Cars can be purchased from an automobile dealer or a private owner. It is advisable to take someone with you who is knowledgeable about cars. Without a warranty, you will be responsible for paying for any and all repairs necessary for the car.
