Licensing & Test ReadinessStandalone practice
A 16-year-old with no license and no permit drives a car and is convicted of a crash-related moving violation. Under Vanessa's Law, when can this teen get an instruction permit?
Correct answer: Not until the teen reaches 18 years of age
Why
The law is named for Vanessa Weiss, who died as the passenger of an unlicensed 15-year-old driver. At 18, the person must meet the reinstatement requirements, pass the written test and hold a permit for at least six months (three months at 19 or older) before the road test. A provisional driver who loses the license for such a violation cannot get it back until 18 or the end of the withdrawal, whichever is later.
