This FREE app is a must-have for MN drivers’ education students preparing to take the Permit Test. Written by Safeway, Minnesota’s largest driving school, the questions come directly from the MN Dept of Public Safety Driver’s Manual. Don’t be fooled by other “Minnesota” apps that teach you to file a crash report in California (why?) or to parallel park within 18” of the curb (not). The Safeway app covers Vanessa’s Law and other laws that are important for YOU to know if you want to pass your test! A 40-question sample test created randomly from over 200 questions gives you a score immediately so you know which questions to work on. OR study from specific chapters of the MN Driver’s Manual.
