There is this funny little law that says you cannot have a license, car insurance and a home residence in different states.

There are several occupations that will require you to take DMV practice tests and if you want to be one of the CDL drivers on the road you will need to read up on the rules for their specific driving test. If you are trying to enter into the job market there are several fields that you can go into but if you are not one that decides to go to college and specialize in a field then you may want to consider a trade.

When you first reviewed the DMV practice tests that you picked up it looked a little harder than you anticipated but you know if you studied hard you would be able to pass and you did.
