Default are there any good sites with some good info on getting you M/C permit?

like are there any good sites that has all the info you need and maybe some practice tests or something?

a friend of mine wants to get his M/C permit. but he hates failing. so he wants to learn as much as he could before he goes to the 6hr class to get his permit.

thanks

DMV, Most of them have the full book to download. No one site has all the info a person needs. If he is taking the class, he will be fine.

If he reads through the booklet that the DMV offers, he'll have no problems. The test is very much common sense except for the local alcohol laws. That's assuming he's a bright guy who actually possesses common sense.

The permit test was rediculously easy.

6 hour class? Written test?

I went to the DMV, took a 20 question multiple choice quiz and they gave me my permit.......in less that 15 minutes.

Well, the classwork that's part of the MSF course does a LOT more than just prep you to take the test...

also there is a pattern for the answers the pattern went something close to this

the pattern of answer was like this on the sheet, like a zig zag..

key: + = right answer. * = empty space/wrong answer

abcde

up here in Maine you have to take a 6hr class before you could get your permit. my friend just wanted to have some knowledge aka do some homework on the matter before heading to the class.

thanks guys.

they gear those classes knowing there are people in there that know NOTHING so if he reads through and understands the book then he is ahead of the curve.

then the MSF for the actual license is the best rather than just going to the DMV and driving the course
