Hi I'm 16 and I just got my permit yesterday and I was wondering if I could start driving immediately?
Korey from California asks: Hi I'm 16 and I just got my permit yesterday and I was wondering if I could start driving immediately? So like if I get my permit today can I drive home with my parent?
Hey Korey
Keep in mind that learner permit laws vary from state to state, so please check with yoru local DMV, DPS, or MVD if you are not from California.
For minors in California, BEFORE you can drive with your parent, you must first complete a 2-hour lesson with a licensed driving instructor. After that first lesson is complete, the instructor will sign your learner permit and then you can start practicing with your parents.
Hope that helps! Here's a link to a great page with all the minor driving requirements for CA teens: http://www.driverseddirect.com/content_lg.aspx?tid=621
Until next time Korey, get that first lesson from a licensed driving school and be one step closer to earning your driver license!
