They will help you with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Preparing all the documents you need to start the process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Getting you registered at the \u201cmotorizzazione civile\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Studying for the theory test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Practicing your driving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Taking the driving test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something important that you need to know is that by law you will need to take 6 mandatory hours of driving lessons with an instructor of the driving school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That applies to everyone: it doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;ve already been driving for 20 years, you can\u2019t just skip it and take the driving test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing you should consider is that <strong>in Italy most cars are manual<\/strong>, so it isn\u2019t such a bad idea to take some driving classes if you are switching from automatic driving to driving a stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Study for the driving licence theory test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driving licence theory test is composed of <strong>30 multiple-choice questions<\/strong> for which you\u2019ll have <strong>20 minutes to answer<\/strong>. The test is in Italian, and you can make a maximum of 3 mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prepare for the test you can study online with tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quizpatenteonline.it\/quiz-patente-b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quiz Patente Online<\/a>, where you can find all the questions of previous tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your P and start driving!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you pass the theory test, you will receive your \u201c<strong>foglio rosa<\/strong>\u201d which is the authorization to start taking practical lessons to prepare for the driving test. You will need to put a big letter P (principiante) on the back of your vehicle to signal to other cars that you are a beginner and you\u2019re still learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you feel confident about your driving, take the driving test and get the \u201c<strong>Patente B<\/strong>\u201d, the Italian standard licence, valid for most standard vehicles. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Get the full guide on how to get your driving license in Italy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin Brevo Form -->\n<!-- START - We recommend to place the below code in head tag of your website html  -->\n<style>\n  @font-face {\n    font-display: block;\n    font-family: Roboto;\n    src: url(https:\/\/assets.brevo.com\/font\/Roboto\/Latin\/normal\/normal\/7529907e9eaf8ebb5220c5f9850e3811.woff2) format(\"woff2\"), url(https:\/\/assets.brevo.com\/font\/Roboto\/Latin\/normal\/normal\/25c678feafdc175a70922a116c9be3e7.woff) format(\"woff\")\n  }\n\n  @font-face {\n    font-display: fallback;\n    font-family: Roboto;\n    font-weight: 600;\n    src: url(https:\/\/assets.brevo.com\/font\/Roboto\/Latin\/medium\/normal\/6e9caeeafb1f3491be3e32744bc30440.woff2) format(\"woff2\"), url(https:\/\/assets.brevo.com\/font\/Roboto\/Latin\/medium\/normal\/71501f0d8d5aa95960f6475d5487d4c2.woff) format(\"woff\")\n  }\n\n  @font-face {\n    font-display: fallback;\n    font-family: Roboto;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    src: url(https:\/\/assets.brevo.com\/font\/Roboto\/Latin\/bold\/normal\/3ef7cf158f310cf752d5ad08cd0e7e60.woff2) format(\"woff2\"), url(https:\/\/assets.brevo.com\/font\/Roboto\/Latin\/bold\/normal\/ece3a1d82f18b60bcce0211725c476aa.woff) format(\"woff\")\n  }\n\n  #sib-container input:-ms-input-placeholder {\n    text-align: left;\n    font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\n    color: #c0ccda;\n  }\n\n  #sib-container input::placeholder {\n    text-align: left;\n    font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\n    color: #c0ccda;\n  }\n\n  #sib-container textarea::placeholder {\n    text-align: left;\n    font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\n    color: #c0ccda;\n  }\n\n  #sib-container a {\n    text-decoration: underline;\n    color: #2BB2FC;\n  }\n<\/style>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/sibforms.com\/forms\/end-form\/build\/sib-styles.css\">\n<!--  END - We recommend to place the above code in head tag of your website html -->\n\n<!-- START - We recommend to place the below code where you want the form in your website html  -->\n<div class=\"sib-form\" style=\"text-align: center;\n         background-color: #ffffff;
