wait..Driving LESSONS, as in Behind the Wheel, foot on the gas, cost around 2-300 Bucks. But Drivers ed, the class that teaches you the basic out ouf a book, is free at public high schools. You can pay to take the calls seperately, some place else, but schools offer it for free.
The thing is, if you're under 17 and a half here, you have to had paid for Drivers training (The one that costs 200 bucks) before you can even register to get ya permit.
I wouldn't call the test "EASY"...But you won't fail it unless you're a nervous wreck who forgets to look over his shoulder and keep both hands on the wheel..haha.
