Answer 1

depends on your state laws.

Answer 2

Thats allowed here in Kali, california allows you to drive with you permit as long as you have an 18+ year old in the passenger seat next to the driver (with a license of course) :-)

Answer 3

Provisional driver license restrictions during the first year:

Effective January 1, 2006, a new law will increase driving restrictions for persons under the age of 18 who:

Are issued a provisional driver license (DL) on or after January 1, 2006, or

Already hold a provisional DL issued on or after January 1, 2005.

Provisional Driving Restrictions—You must be accompanied and supervised by a licensed parent, guardian or other licensed driver 25 years of age or older or a licensed or certified driving instructor when you:

Transport passengers under 20 years of age at any time, for the first twelve months.

Drive between 11 pm and 5 am for the first twelve months.

To determine if these restrictions apply to you, look at the date on your driver license. The date printed just to the left of your photograph is the date these restrictions begin. The new restrictions apply for 12 months following this date.

For example: If the date on your license is May 7, 2005, you will have the above restrictions through May 7, 2006. Violation of either restriction can result in a fine and/or community service.

Persons under 18 may not be employed to drive a motor vehicle. When you turn 18 years of age, the provisional part of your license ends. You may continue to drive as an adult using your photo license, which will expire on your 5th birthday after the date you applied.

Exceptions to Restrictions:

When reasonable transportation is not available and it is necessary for you to drive, the law grants the following exceptions for minors to drive between 11 pm and 5 am or to transport an immediate family member unaccompanied and unsupervised.

The law requires that you must carry a note explaining why you must drive and when the necessity will end.

Medical Necessity:

The note must be signed by your physician and contain a diagnosis and probable date when recovery will end your need to drive.

School or School–Authorized Activities

The note must be signed by your school principal, dean, or his or her designee and include a reason for the school or school–authorized activity and the date when the activity will end.

Employment Necessity:

The note must be signed by your employer and verify employment and the date your employment will end.
Immediate Need of Family Member
The note must be signed by your parent or legal guardian and include the reason and date the necessity will end.

Emancipated Minor:

No documentation is needed for this exemption, however you must have already declared yourself emancipated by completing a DMV form and by providing Proof of Financial Responsibility (SR 1P) in lieu of your guarantors’ signatures when you applied for your instruction permit.

Answer 4

Each state is different, but most set the age limited at 21. !8 year old have not had enough road experience yet. The State wants someone doing the training that knows the In's and outs of driver safety.
Check with your state motor vehicle or police first.

Answer 5

Depends on state laws.

I'm in Kentucky, and here the answer is no.

In KY, you have to have your permit for a year. You may only ride with a legal adult, 21 or over and NO ONE under 21 can be in the car with you. You have to get so many hours of driving charted before you can even try for your liscense. THEN you are on probation (no driving at night, no kids or teens in the car, etc.). FINALLY, after like a year, you can drive with other teens in the car.

Answer 6

Actually, depends on the state, you should check your dmv manual.
However, if you live in California, the answer would be no. You would only be allowed to drive if a person of 25 years or older had their license.

Answer 7

Depends on what state you live in. In Missouri, you may only drive with a licensed driver of 25 or under in the car if they are your legal guardian. I was unable to do this for my younger sister, even though I was 24 and she was 15, because I wasn't her legal guardian.

Answer 8

Agreed depends on state laws, all i know is that in South Carolina where I live you have to be driving with someone 21 years or older. But that may not be the case where you live. Go to the department of motor vehicles website and find your state and see what it says.

Answer 9

It depends on the state laws. Here in Oklahoma you can get your permit at 15 and can drive with anyone who has their license.

Answer 10

In Canada (no idea if this applies to you) if you have your "L" you have to drive with someone who has their Class 5 (Full license) and is 25 +

I bet you could search for the rules in your state/province by looking up a DMV Site for your area.

Answer 11

All state laws are different. Usually on the back of your permit there should be a writing of your restrictions. If you're unsure check out your states DMV website and it should tell you there. If not, you need to call the office and check. All states are different and you need to check with yours.
