Husband and I spent nearly 3 hours at the DMV in Cary today - he passed, I didn't. (You can miss 5 questions out of 25 - I missed 6). I have to go back Monday and try again. I passed the sign test and the vision - thank goodness, so it could be worse! Guess I have to go back to studying the booklet online once again. Hope I don't have to take the sign test again, although it was pretty easy. Been driving for 35 years and a stupid written test gets to me ...
At least they hadn't cut up my TX license yet.

So you just have to take a written test??? I hate written tests. In CA you can just renew over the internet, if you haven't had any traffic infractions. So the last time I took a written test was about 24 years ago
I am freaking out. I am horrible at tests. WWAaaahhhh
I did the same thing, failed the written test by one question. I also had to take the written part for the motorcycle to carry that over. Passed that part. Once I passed the written test for driving then i got the new license. They took my Texas one and dropped it in a ziplock back and stuffed it in the desk. That was kind of rough to see the Texas one go..lol

Lolli~I haven't got mine yet, but, my husband said it took him 4+ hours at DMV to get his license!!! 3 hours is bad too!! Are those long times normal? If so, when is the best time/day to go to DMV so you can get through faster?
That would be my luck, I would miss only one too & have to go back and wait again for several hours.
I went early, about 20 minutes before they opened up for the day and then there's no wait. I wish you the best on your re-try. I took the written test on the computer and felt my heart rate rise when I missed the fourth question! I did pass, and you willl, too! Good luck!

They'll need to rip it from my dead cold fingers, no way. I would have had them shred it in front of me if I was forced to relinquish it. Who knows what the DMV person will do with it now. What do they do with them? Nope, I'll just tell them I don't have my license on me. It's the digital age... if they can't look up my out of state credentials, fuh-get aboud it!
Sorry, I am still so resistant to the driving privilege differences here. And taking a written test after how many years??? Gimme a break!

Actually, they didn't take my license, nor my husbands, when we passed the test. I don't know if this has changed.
You'd have to take a test if you moved to any state....it's not really a difference from CA to NC. I am not sure if DMV records are shared state to state with other DMVs. I know they are for police, but not for everyone.
Hi everyone, I have a question about registering an out of state vehicle. Someone told me that I would have to pay taxes on the blue book value of the car in order to register in NC. is this true?
