We make it easy to understand and pass the NL permit test
NL permit test
New drivers in Newfoundland and Labrador are required to go through the NL Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Program. The GDL helps drivers learn the skills, attitudes, rules of the road necessary to become a safe driver. As part of the system, new drivers are gradually allowed more driving privileges over the course of two years.
Stage one is a Novice I driver (Learner), where you’ll need to take the NL driver knowledge test to be able to start supervised driving lessons. You can then progress to Novice II (Novice licensed driver), after passing the NL road test.
The Newfoundland driving test will assess your knowledge of the NL road rules, traffic signs and driving practices ideal for a safe driver as outlined in the Newfoundland driver’s handbook (Newfoundland and Labrador Road Users Guide).
With Practice Test Canada, we help you prepare the right way to pass the NL knowledge test with ease.
