Permit Driving Rules
Learning to drive a motor vehicle is a very exciting milestone for many teenagers. Sitting behind the wheel to operate a motor vehicle is something many young people dream about for many years. Now that your age has caught up with your height, you can apply for your learner's permit. Every new driver has to learn the permit driving rules of their state in order to operate a motor vehicle safely.
Qualifications
In order to apply for a driving permit, you must be 16 years old or older. For 16- and 17-year-olds, their parents or legal guardians are required to sign a consent on their driver's license application form. There is usually one fee that is due, which covers your licensing fees, including your written test, eye test, road test and photo identification.
Features
Take your signed driver's license application, your proof of identity, and your social security card when you are ready to apply for your driving permit at your local Department of Motor Vehicles. Check the required fee amount due and take that with you, as well. The DMV accepts cash, credit cards and checks.
Warning
The eye test is administered before the written test. It is a prerequisite for the learner's permit, so make sure you are wearing your glasses, if you normally wear corrective lenses.
Study well before taking your written test. If you pass the written test, your driver's permit will be valid for five years. If you do not pass, do not worry. You can always retake the test.
Prevention/Solution
Driving with your driving permit has several rules and guidelines. You must drive with a licensed driver age 21 or older in the front passenger seat, and you can not have more than two underage people in your vehicle if they are family. Check your state for other restrictions, such as curfew and license time frame requirements.
Benefits
After passing your eye exam and your written test, receiving your permit and practicing with a licensed driver for many hours, you may be ready to schedule your road test. Depending on your age, you will either receive a limited junior's license, a junior's license, or a full license. Visit your local DMV office to schedule your road test, or go online to your state's DMV website to schedule it online.
Considerations
After all of your practice sessions, you may be ready to apply for your junior license, if you are under the age of 18. Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles about the fees and requirements for applying for a junior license and scheduling your road test.
