You cannot drive during work or as part of your  work duties. “Work Study Program”  means a state-ap- proved work-study program. For example, a  Board of Cooperative Educational Services  (BOCES) course for which academic credit is  granted for work experience. “Medical Appointment”  means medical treat- ment that is necessary for you or a member of  your household. “Daycare ” applies to travel to and from child  care if the attendance of the child is necessary  for a family member to maintain employment or  attend a school course. If you hold a learner permit, you cannot drive: Safe drivers often find their amount of practice  before the road test makes a positive difference.  Before you take the test, it is important that you  have had at least 50 hours of practice, with at  least 15 hours after sunset. It is recommended  that at least 10 hours of the supervised practice  be in moderate to heavy traffic. Road tests are  given on city streets, but you should practice on  expressways and other types of highways as  well. DMV suggests you take a high school or  college driver education course or lessons from a  DMV-licensed driving school. If you cannot take a  course or lessons, have the person who teaches  you read Parts 2 and 3 of this manual. You cannot practice in a DMV road test area  or on any restricted roads. In New York City,  these areas include any street within a park and  all bridges and tunnels under the jurisdiction of  the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority. In  Westchester County, the streets and roadways  you cannot practice on include these parkways:  Cross County, Hutchinson River, Saw Mill River  and Taconic State. Before you can make a road test appointment,  you must first complete an approved safe driver  course. This requirement is automatically fulfilled  as part of a state approved high school or college  driver education course. Or you can complete this  requirement when you take a special Pre-Licens- ing course available at most licensed driving  schools. When you complete the course, you will  receive a certificate which you’ll need to schedule  your road test appointment. The certificate is valid  for one year.
