Question: If driving with a permit alone and are pulled over what are the possible concerns?
Answer: A Learner's Permit is not a license to drive a car. It is a special permit that allows you to drive a car on the road only for the purpose of learning to drive, and you must have a licensed driver with you at all times.
The point of a Learner's Permit is to give you an opportunity to learn to drive, with supervision from someone with a license.
If you were to be caught driving without supervision, you will first be cited for driving without a license just as anyone else would that is driving without a license. In addition, it is likely that you will not be allowed to obtain a Driver's License at all for some period of time as punishment for breaking the law. The period of time until you could get a License would depend on the circumstances, but will probably be until you turn eighteen year's old.

Well, here's the deal. I am 15 and I am comming from Massachusettes and I moved to here, Florida about 4 months ago. At the time i was only 14 but now I am 15 and the florida law is you have to be 15 in order to gedet your permit. So I was going to get it but I just found out that I am going back to Massachusettes for a while until about next year around july and so in Massachusettes the law is you cannot drive with a permit till your 16 and 9 months. So, what does that mean I do. I really wanted to get my permit but doesnt that mean I can get it and drive up north with it, or will I get

What happens when you get caught after an accident? without a permit, OR license, but you do know how to drive. If you go to court, how long will it take for you to get your license or be able to drive again? 18? 21? State of California :)

What did the court say to you? I just got pull over with my permit and 3 other people were with me at the time. we just got off from work and the people at work asked me if I could get them a ride home. I told them that I only have my permit and that since they live just right next to the work place...I decide to take them along. first of all, on that day, I went and took my driver's test but fail. I needed the car from my dad to go to work. I know it was very risky but I did it anyway. I know for a fact that I shouldn't take them along and get caught. What will happen?
