Generally speaking, a learner’s permit allows you to drive a car when accompanied by a fully licensed guardian or family member and you have to dive-roll through a few flaming hoops to get one. Most states require applicants to pass vision and written tests, and have strict age requirements.

Driving with people who have driven before will help you learn to drive. Harass your loved ones at all waking hours to please, please, please take you out driving.

Time for Your Driving Test

In Florida, for instance, you must take a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Course if you’ve never had a license before. You will need to bring proof that you completed said course.
