i just got mine this past weekend, and you actually dont even have to read through the book because your instructor will most likely go over all of the things you'll need to know before driving. mine was the easiest thing ever, i drove for like 4 hours total and was done. my guy got me my permit after the first hour of driving. it doesnt matter how much you mess up on the driving part, you cant really fail the permit driving test unless if u get into an accident which most likely wont happen
