Not only can you be pulled over because you look too young, you can also be stopped if you appear to be too short.

I live in Connecticut. A few weeks ago, four teenagers died in a car accident because the teenage driver was speeding and lost control. Then a couple weeks ago, three teenagers died in a car accident in another town because the teenage driver decided to pass a truck pulling a boat trailer and slammed into a box truck going the other way. Then a 16 year old girl who had no driver's license stole a car and was driving erratically. A cop pursued her, then dropped back because she just kept driving faster. She totalled the car and died.
You don't have a license to drive by yourself for a reason. You don't have the experience. I know you probably don't agree. I was in your shoes once. I remember close calls I had because I didn't react well in different situations. Please just learn how to drive and do it legally and responsibly. There are far too many children dying needlessly. Don't let it be you.

I'm pretty sure you'll lose your permit until your 18. I think a cop CAN pull you over for looking too young, but I doubt it. I personally wouldn't chance losing my permit to drive alone.
Also, I think the other person in the car has to be 21 years old.

A cop can pull you over if he feels something is not right. It depends what the driving rules are for your state, but you may get your license or permit taken away until you're 21.

Turning 16 does NOT mean you can drive alone. You have to pass the test for your drivers license to drive alone. 16 used to be the standard age to be allowed to take the test. State laws vary WIDELY these days. Even if I knew the answer in MY state, it is probably wrong in yours.

a cop can pull you over for whatever reason he chooses if you have done something wrong or not...it could be a car problem like a light out...but if you're not old enough to drive alone, he most certainly can pull you over and get your parents involved in them letting you drive alone...not a good situation to be in if you want to get your license eventually...it's illegal to drive without a driver who has 5 yrs experience if you only have a learner's permit...

a cop cant pull you over because you look young. they have to have a reason. so for example if your speeding or you have a broken tail light. if you get pulled over for anything like that then you can get in trouble if you dont have a license. if you have a permit, you have to be driving with a parent/gardian or someone who is 25 or older i think is the age. my dad is a cop. so i know.

A cop can pull you over if they have "probable cause" and that includes if you look to young to be driving. You could get your permit taken away from you and delay the time were you could get your actual license.

Yes, they can pull you over and get you in deep trouble. be happy that you have only 90 days. I still have to wait a few years! I hope those days go quickly!
