Conditions for driving with a learner's license:

- After the first 3 months: you may only drive until 10 p.m.
- At all times: a licensed driver who is 21 years of age or older must accompany you in the front passenger seat as you drive
Do Your Parent-Supervised In-Car Training
You must complete this step before you can apply for your first-time driver’s license.
- The law requires a parent/guardian to certify that your teen has spent:
- A minimum of 50 hours behind the wheel to qualify for getting a first-time driver’s license
- Ten of those hours must be at night.
- A responsible licensed adult over 21 years of age must always occupy the front passenger seat closest to the driver.
