far as i know all new candidates are now supposed to go through a training school. its mandatory. so even if you're a Jack Brabham at the wheel, you still need trainer certification. now the those guys will have all the info you need. very specifically on what you need to know etc etc. so since you have to go there anyway, why don't you ask them?

back in the day (2002) this was not a requirement. i learned to drive from my dad. the test was a cinch. just went through that book by the RMV on the road signs and the rest was nothing.

but it is now, again, as far as my knowledge serves me. why don't you either ask the RMV or ask a learning school? i know its shitty but its the law and its probably a good thing. you never know you might just learn something.

yep I'm going to ask from a learning school tomorrow. Today I went through the RMV website and it didn't mention such certification from a driving school..

Please don't go to those dodgy driving schools in werahera. Even if you know how to drive, go to a proper one. You may pick up a few pointers that will be helpful, not just for the exam but for your whole life.
