Reply to comment by QuarterFearless5704 in As a 15 year old am I legally allowed to obtain a learners permit by QuarterFearless5704

I’m pretty sure you could get the permit at 15 and a half maybe 10-15 years ago. It’s now at age 16, and you can take your drivers test after 6 months and a set number of supervised driving hours.

Unless there were a different set of rules in between, the prior rules were that you could go take the written learner's permit test ahead of your 16th birtday (I think 30 or 60 days, but I don't remember exactly). The state would then mail you your permit on/about your birthday, but the permit was still not valid until your 16th birthday. I distinctly remember mine arriving on my birthday mid-week and I was able to go take my DL test on Saturday morning (there was no requirement to hold the permit for 6 months before taking the DL test back then).
