To give teen drivers more experience without exposing them to dangerous risks, New York―like many other states―has adopted a graduated driver licensing program for drivers under the age of 18 (called "junior drivers" in this state). Under this program, the New York Department of Motor Vehicles may issue you a junior learner's permit once you turn 16 and then a junior driver license, but there will be some restrictions on your license to allow you to more safely transition from a newbie to a pro.
Restrictions for Teenage Drivers
You may not drive with more than two passengers who are under 21 unless a parent, guardian, or driving instructor rides with you. There is an exception if the passengers are immediate family members.
When the law requires your driving to be supervised, only the supervising driver may ride in the front seat. The supervising driver must be at least 21 and have a valid driver license.
All passengers riding with a junior driver must use seat belts, child safety seats, or child restraint systems.
Your junior permit or license will be suspended for 60 days if you are convicted of committing a serious traffic violation (generally three points or more) or two other violations.
Your junior permit or license will be revoked for 60 days if you are convicted of a serious violation (generally three points or more) or two other violations within the first six months after you receive your license or privileges back following a suspension or revocation.
A junior license allows you to drive passenger cars and trucks with an unladen weight or a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less. You may also drive a vehicle that tows another vehicle such as a trailer with a GVWR of 3,000 pounds or less.

The youngest age is 16 years in New York City to be able to
start learning how to drive a car. But, I've known in some
states in the country that you can learn to drive at 14 years old.
