Are you under age 18?
Yes, I'm 16
You must have a minimum of 50 hours of supervised practice driving with: a) at least 15 hour at night after sunset b) at least 10 hours in moderate to heavy traffic
Thank you! What should I be practicing for my test?
You should be practicing "everything": steering, acceleration, braking, speed, clutch... etc. But if you ask what are the most important things, I can tell you Steering, and Acceleration.Make sure to steer smoothly whether you are driving straight ahead, turning or backing up, and moderate and smoothly acceleration are key!
If I want to change my license from one class to another (in the near future), would I need a Pre-Licensing Course certificate?

One more question, you said before that accelerating smoothly and moderately was key, but what if I have to drive on a highway in my test? I can't go moderately, since all the vehicles will be honking since I'm going slow.
Don't worry about that! When you are taking the driving test, your headlights will be on so everyone know you are in a test, also the car we use is a special car and has a logo. So it's ok, just stick to a smoothly and moderately acceleration, and don't force the engine so it does not stall.

Can I still apply for a refund if the registration sticker was attached to the plate?
No, in that case, the sticker can't be removed and you won't be able to apply for a full refund.
What is needed to apply for the 2-year refund?
The 2-year registration fee refund can only be applied if the registration was never used and it hasn't been more than 60 days from the date the registration was issued.
