Hello,

My husband's here on a CR1. Does he have to have a temporary liscense? or can he just take the tests?

Thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.

State dependant.... most likely will qualify to take the tests.

YMMV

My husband has been diligently studying for week. I printed it off the Internet in PDF.

He says he still doesn't want to drive until he needs to.

After all our learning experience, I feel afraid to send him out into the big world in a vehicle.

How did your hubby handle this"?

He drove with me until he felt comfortable going out on is own. He would drive and I would be the passenger and give him guidance. I got him a book and he diligently studied the laws. Now he has a CDL licence and he ia a professional driver.

That is great! I laugh how much he reads and studies this book. I would skim through the night before the test.

Today I talked to him about the road as we drove teaching him about signs and lines.

Are you sure about this?? I called the dmv yesterday about this very thing. They told me they can only drive on their international license here if they are a student?? I'm not doubting you, just frustrating when two people get two different answers to the same question.............

I can't wait until I do not have to be the driver. I think it is good right now, while I deal wth the learning curve of other things that I keep driving or reduce my coffee intake .
