Pro Tips — New Michigan Level 1 Learners License Driver

How do I pass my Level 2 Intermediate License road test first try in Michigan? What do first-year drivers wish they knew? How can new drivers lower their car insurance in Michigan?

1
Michigan requires 50 supervised hours including 10 at night. Include at least a few sessions on highways and in winter conditions if your training spans fall or winter months.
2
Michigan SOS offices in the Detroit metro fill road test appointments quickly. Book your Level 2 road test three to four weeks ahead.
3
Your Level 1 Learners License is valid for two years. If it expires before your road test, you retake the knowledge test.
4
Michigan lake-effect snow in Grand Rapids and the western Lower Peninsula is among the most intense in the Midwest. Practice winter driving with your supervisor before your Level 2 License.
5
Your supervising driver must be at least 21 with a valid, full Michigan license. A Level 2 holder cannot supervise.
6
After any collision: stop, photograph everything before moving any vehicle, exchange insurance, and call Michigan State Police or local police for injury or meaningful damage.
7
Parallel parking and three-point turns are the most commonly failed Michigan road test skills. Practice both weekly.
8
When you earn your Level 2 License, the midnight curfew and six-month passenger limit are still active.
