BÀI TRẢ LỜI MẪU:

The given diagram details the process of obtaining a driving license in the US.

In general, it can be seen that there are three tests that need to be passed in order to get a driving license, which are, an eyesight test, a written theoretical examination, and a practical driving examination.

The first thing one needs to do to get a driver’s license is to register in a driving license centre, and fill out the appropriate forms. After that, an eyesight test is required. If the applicant passes this test, he will carry on to the 2nd stage.

After paying the required fees, applicants will take a written test and will have two extra chances to retake the test if they fail. Once the written exam is successfully passed, a practical road exam will be carried out. It is obligatory to pass both exams to get the driver’s license. However, if one fails the road examination, they can still get the license by paying the fees again and reattempting both tests.
