Hello, I'm moving to Nashua in about a week. I'm moving from Houston and don't have my license. I've been driving in Houston on my Learner's permit. I wanted to scheduled a road test before I moved but they don't have any spots for the next 2 months. Is the road test in Nashua difficult? Do they make you go on the highway? What can I expect? Thank you!
Seems about 50/50 whether they require you to parallel park. I would doubt they'd ask you to get on the highway, merging into traffic at Exit 6 is dangerous enough without the DMV intentionally putting inexperienced drivers in the mix!
They take you for a ride in to Nashua downtown. You need to be watchful for signs. No parallel parking. Only forward and reverse parking in parking front. If you are under 18, you need to take teen driver education. It costs around $600. There is a knowledge test, but there is no concept of learner license. You can give the knowledge test and take the road test right away. Someone over 25 needs to accompany you for your practice sessions.
I had to get my license when I moved to New Hampshire 10 years ago as I had lived in NYC for so long, I no longer had an active one. I took my driving test in Merrimack and it was nothing. The guy saw my age and saw that I knew what I was doing and gave me a break. We drove out of the parking lot, onto the road, up a side road, around a block and back to the parking lot. He didn't even make me back up or parallel park. Too bad Merrimack no longer has a DMV.
What are "hill stops"? Is that a stick shift thing?
It's stopping on a hill then going forward again without rolling backward. It's a skill most applicable to drivers using a manual transmission, but the DMV used to make everyone do it.

Ah.
Modern automatic transmissions make this relatively, easy; I exercise this skill every day, just to make it into my home garage

Welcome to Nashua!
With every car having automatic transmission, is stopping on a hill an issue?
