附图是在新路考地点的考试路线,是由Lu Yuanting同学提供。
在所附图片里,红色箭头是大概的考试路线。就是先在报到的地方考停车,然后右转上Monroe,然后右转进Tram, 在黑色框的地方考倒车,然后在Tram左侧的居民区里面按考官要求的路线开开,然后上Paul Russell,然后转回Monroe。大致就是这样。
3. 考驾照所需文件:

如果考过了酒精课,把酒精课通过的证明打印带上;
还有路考还要带上你车子的Registration和车子保险证明(保险卡), 这两个文件不可缺。而且要在有效期内。
另外是如果考过了Learner's Permit,一定要等收到临时驾照卡后才能去考路考。光凭一张纸的Learner's Permit是不能靠路考的。
不少人由于缺少以上2项中的文件而不能参加笔试或者路考。
另外带上$35-45现金或者支票, 用信用卡付费要交$2左右的手续费,而且只接受Master Card和Discover Card,不接受Visa卡。
