Driver's License

[Phillip2]

We live in Texas and my wife already knows how to drive. She had a car in China. However, she must take the written test here in Texas and I am looking for a translation that she can use to study with. I had one my son found on the internet before he crash and wiped out everything here. So I am asking is there one somewere that my wife can get one so that she can study for the American test.

there are some states that have the rules of the road book in chinese, and some can be obtained online (we used washington states), the biggest help for Rong was in finding the written test in chinese characters...our local driver test facility did not have it, but after a few phone calls to the state level, they had one in a few days....she and her daughter both took the test at the same time and both passed

California, and Washington state provide manuals in Chinese.

Note most states wont issue a DL to a non-resident.

 

TX is particular, they need legal presence document that is valid for 1 year or longer as in EAD card or Green-card.

Phillip,

 

We live here in South Texas. In Houston, you can find several Hong Kong markets. Inside you can often find a local phone book (FREE) for the Chinese and Asian community. In the back of the book, they cover all kinds of subjects including driving in Texas (to help pass the test) and help to pass the test for naturalization. A couple of days ago, I picked up 6 for friends.

There are 4 pages of questions and answers in Chinese published in the phone book. If I can find the copy I made, I'll post it here.

 

Also, if you can get a driving instructor in Chinatown, he will usually have a good assortment as well and can act as a translator for the test at the DPS location on South Gessner.

I live in Dallas Fort Worth

 

however, if there is somewere I need to go somewere my wife can take the test in Chinese would be great. If you find the phone book questions let me know when you post them. Then I will download them and go from there.

The Texas Driver's License exam can ONLY be taken in English, although a translator is allowed.

Randy, you did great.

 

There is also another phone book that is produced by another company. Not sure of exactly who, but this is the second year now that I have gone to the Hong Kong market on Bellaire and picked up copies. You will find both English and Chinese written for the test and photos of several signs that drivers need to identify. It always has some law firm on the front cover. Think also 4 or more pages that are filled with questions and answers. Questions in English with Chinese answers and maybe more......just going off the top of my head.

 

This year is one very large man. Don't have the book with me at the moment, but might help you since you can nicely add pics

These are great THANKS

These are the question with possible answers. How do I know which is the correct answer since I can't read Chinese?

The Houston Chinese Yellow pages, I am sure are not readily available to you, But what I am able to gather especially from reading the governmental Q&As is that they realize you can answer these questions usually in several ways and/or see different answers for the same question....

 

So basically, all the answers are correct.
