RE: Re-take - Gunnen4u - 03-08-2012
I think I paid like 20 bucks many years ago for mine. I'll have to find out how much they cost when I renew mine in 2016.
RE: Re-take - Twitchin Kitten - 03-09-2012
OMG The fees in NY State have gone up dramatically! What cost me $5 is now over $80
This is the NYS first time permit requirements. It's a little different than Jersey with the learner's permit as you are required to have a licensed driver with you at all times while learning. The "required course" you have to take is merely a 3 hour class given at any driving school. I don't know the fees anymore for that.
Links to info are highlighted by an underline on these two links:
NYS Driver License - first time
NYS Fee Schedule - first time fees, not renewal fees
Here's the Jersey Nonsense - they give the fee schedule on the second link which has a bunch more info to click on the side bar for info on the tests. The fees here are more reasonable than in NY it seems but they hit you on your license. Since I have a motorcycle endorsement, I pay $42 to renew mine where Matt who does not pays only $24
There's also a probationary period for first time drivers here vs. NY where you just get your license and go.
NJ License requirements - 17 - 21 year olds
NJ Fee Schedule - includes renewals

Cannot take a Direct Access test here now until you are 23

I just renewed my license about 6 months ago, I got the enhanced so I can get back home from Canada. If I remember right it cost me just over $100.
I got my motorcycle license back in about 1981 and have no idea what it involved.
RE: Re-take - Twitchin Kitten - 03-09-2012
What is "enhanced" so you can get back from Canada?
I think on the site for NYS it says it's only $24 or something like that to renew.
I got my MC endorsement here. It was dirt cheap in '96. Before then I always rode without the endorsement
RE: Re-take - twisteroo - 03-09-2012
Enhanced is to go to and from Canada without the need for a passport. I only had to show them proof of birth, marriage, residence, my current gas bill, a bank statement, my cats full name, trace an outline of my cock on a piece of construction paper, give finger prints, a retina scan, and a rectal probe.
RE: Re-take - Gunnen4u - 03-09-2012
Wasn't there the good ol' days when you didn't all that shit just to go to Canada?
RE: Re-take - twisteroo - 03-10-2012
Actually the good ol' days were when I just stayed home and didn't bother going to Canada.
The only thing Canada has that is worth going for is full nude strip clubs with a full bar.

I thought right after 9-11 they made it so we need passports to out of country everywhere? I know I didn't need one to go to the Caribbean, just my license / ID and a birth certificate showing I was born here.
RE: Re-take - twisteroo - 03-10-2012
I don't know all the rules about passports and stuff. But I do know with my $100 drivers license they will let me back across the border from Canada as long as I don't have a stripper hidden in my trunk.
