Once you turn 16, you can take the written test for your learner's permit.
After completing driver's education and having your student permit validated, you may practice driving as long as you are supervised at all times by a licensed adult driver. There are some restrictions you must adhere to, however:
• Driving is forbidden between 11:01 p.m. and 5 a.m.
• No cell phones, pagers, or other wireless devices are allowed.
• Seat belts must be worn by all vehicle occupants.
When you've practiced driving for six months with these restrictions, and after you turn 17, you take the behind-the-wheel test for your provisional license. Once you pass the test and are granted a provisional license, you may drive without supervision. The restrictions are the same as those listed above, except you may not drive at night between 12:01 p.m. and 5 a.m. The restrictions will be lifted once you turn 18 and are issued a basic driver's license.
