Licensing & Test ReadinessStandalone practice
Lena is 14 years and 6 months old. She wants to start the New Mexico graduated license system with an instructional permit. What is the youngest age at which she can get the permit?
Correct answer: 15 years
Why
New Mexico drivers under 18 move through three stages: instructional permit, provisional license, and unrestricted license. The permit is the first stage, and it gives a teen time to learn with a qualified supervisor before driving alone. The approved driver education course that goes with the permit must include a DWI prevention and education part.
