DRIVER'S LICENSE
Foreign students who have an international driver's license may operate a motor vehicle temporarily. HOWEVER, you need to have an Ohio driver's license as soon as possible. The procedure is as follows.
- First read and study the Digest of Ohio Motor Vehicle which can be obtained from the Auto License Bureau, 398 West Bagley, Tel: 440-891-8788. It is free.
- You must take and pass all required tests (vision, laws and signs, driving and maneuverability).
- Call the Ohio Driver's License Examination Stations at 216-787-5880, explain your situation, and make an appointment. You may take all exams on the same day and get your license for about $20 fee.
YOU WILL NEED YOUR PASSPORT, STUDENT ID AND I -20 TO GET YOUR LICENSE
RESPONSIBILITIES
1. If you drive a car, you must have an Ohio driver's license, buy the required insurance and obey the traffic rules.
2. If you have a bicycle, obey the traffic rules.
3. Avoid public drunkenness and “disorderly conduct”
BICYCLES
Although the majority of international students have their own cars for transportation, Berea is a small town to ride a bicycle. You can find new bicycles in department or discount stores, or you can find a used one in newspaper advertisements or at some garage sales. If you decide to buy a used bicycle, examine it carefully before buying it. Used bicycles can be much less expensive than brand new ones
Register your bicycle at the Police department, this will help the police recover it if it is stolen. It is very important to lock your bicycle safely; buy a chain and a lock with your bicycle. Bicycle racks are located around campus. HELMETS are not required in Ohio, but it is wise to wear one for safety reasons. If you are riding your bicycle at night, wear reflective clothing or something light-colored. When you are riding your bicycle on a street or road, you have to obey the same traffic rules as a motorist. You can be ticketed by the police for violations and will be required to pay a fine.
You can enjoy riding your bicycle in the METROPARKS. There are bicycle routes throughout the park system. For your safety, and the safety of others, STAY ALERT.
