Walk It Through: The New Driver in the Family

A permit at 15, practice hours, a Stage II license at 16, a late shift, and friends wanting a ride.

A 15 year old wants to start driving with a parent.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

The steps from a first permit to a Stage II license. Commercial licenses, motorcycles and the Stage III license at 17 are left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
