DRIVER’S LICENSE

The rules of the road are different from country to country. In some countries it’s very easy to get a driver’s
license. In others, like Brazil, it’s pretty difficult. What do you have to do to get a driver’s license in Brazil?
Here are some rules: First you have to be 18 years old or more. Then you will have to take a driving test.
But in Brazil, there are four different steps for this test. The first step is a medical test to show you are
healthy enough to drive. They test your eyesight. The second step is a mental test to show how you think
and to make sure you can solve problems. The third step is a course about traffic rules and theoretical
driving course. When you have accomplished about 45 hours of this course, you can take a written test.
Then you are ready for the fourth and last step. The last step is to take practical driving lessons. After many
hours of practice, you take a driving test. If you pass all these different steps, you can finally get a Brazilian
driver’s license.

Dear Angie,

It’s great to write this words to you just to let you know that the Manta Rock

Write to me soon.
