Page 96 Note: The state motor vehicle laws described in this manual are not reproduced in their entirety and the wording is not identical. Due to possible federal and state law changes and Department of Revenue (Department) policy, the information in this manual may not always be current. The Department will make every effort to incorporate any changes as soon as possible. Please visit our website for the most current version. The Missouri Driver Guide is published by the Missouri Department of Revenue. 1 Table of Contents Carefully studying the Missouri Driver Guide will increase your driving confidence and broaden your knowledge of Missouri traffic laws. The more knowledge you have, the safer you are! To test your knowledge of traffic laws, you will need to take a written test of 25 multiple-choice questions. Studying this guide will prepare you for that test. You must correctly answer 20 questions to pass the test. All of the test questions come directly from information found in this guide. There are no “trick” questions. To test your ability to drive a vehicle, you must take a driving skills test. Your examiner realizes a driving test will probably be an unusual experience for you, and you might even become nervous or uneasy. If you do become nervous or fearful, please remember your examiner has accompanied many other people exactly like you, and the examiner rides with you only to make sure you can control your vehicle and observe the rules of safety. Your examiner will not try to trick you in any way. Remember that thousands of people pass this test every year and become licensed drivers. If they can do it, so can you! Just relax and do the best you can. We would like to hear your comments and questions about the material included in this manual: Address: Driver License Bureau P.O. Box 200 Jefferson City, MO 65105-0200 Telephone: (573) 526-2407 Fax: (573) 522-8174 E-Mail: dlbmail@dor.mo.gov Website: http://dor.mo.gov/ The names and telephone numbers of other related agencies and offices are located on the last page of this guide. The Missouri Commercial Driver License Manual and Motorcycle Operator Manual are posted on our website at http://dor.mo.gov/. You may also request a copy from the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), or any Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing Office (license office). 2 Anyone who operates a motor vehicle or motor-driven cycle on public roadways in Missouri is required to have a valid driver license. You may obtain a Missouri driver license at any Missouri license office. You must have a Missouri driver license if: • You live in Missouri, are 16 years of age or older, and plan to drive. •  You are a new resident of Missouri and want to drive, even if you have a driver license from another state. • You are an out-of-state commercial driver who has moved to Missouri within the last 30 days. (Please refer to the Missouri Commercial Driver License Manual.) You do not need a Missouri driver license if: •  You are a member of the armed forces and you have a valid driver license from your home state. •  You are a full-time student and you have a valid driver license from your home state. •  You operate or temporarily operate or move any farm tractor or implement on a highway for agri-related purposes. You are required to carry your driver license or permit when you drive. If any law enforcement officer asks to see your driver license or permit, you must present it. It is against the law for you to allow anyone else to use your license or permit. Tip! Anyone obtaining a new license or permit is required to show verification of lawful status, identity (full legal name), social security number, and Missouri residency. These requirements are explained in detail later in this chapter. Types of Permits If you are under 21 years of age, you will be issued a permit identifying you as a minor. Instruction Permit — Eligible Age: 15 This is the first step in Missouri’s Graduated Driver License Program for young drivers. Generally, this permit allows a young person to learn to drive with the supervision of a licensed adult. See later in this chapter for detailed information. IMPORTANT NOTE: The test form issued by the Missouri State Highway Patrol is not valid as a permit or license. You must submit the test form to your local license office to apply for the actual permit or license to meet GDL and legal operator requirements. Motorcycle Instruction Permit — Eligible Age: 15½ or 16 You may apply for a motorcycle instruction permit to learn to operate a motorcycle or motortricycle. The age you are eligible to apply may be 15½ or 16 years, as described below. • 15½ years of age (15 years and 182 days) The Motorcycle Instruction Permit will only be issued if you have successfully completed an approved motorcycle rider training course. You must pass the Class F and Class M written, vision, and road sign 3 Chapter 1 - The Missouri Driver License tests. You must also have the written consent of your parent or legal guardian. This permit allows daylight driving only, within a 50-mile radius of home, a motorcycle of no larger than 250 cc, and no passengers. •  16 years of age or older If you are 16 years old or older you may apply for a motorcycle instruction permit, but the motorcycle rider training course is not required. If you do not have a valid driver license, you must take the Class F and Class M written tests to receive a motorcycle instruction permit. When you uploads/Geographie/ driver-guide 2 .pdf
