Licensing & Test ReadinessStandalone practice
Ava is 14 and got her instruction permit on March 1. She then passed an approved driver education course with 85 percent on both the written and the driving parts. What is the shortest time that she must hold the permit before she can apply for a restricted minor's permit?
Correct answer: 180 continuous days
Why
The permit period gives a new driver time to build skill with an adult before driving alone. The course counts only when the student scores 80 percent or better on both the written and the driving parts. Ava must also complete her supervised practice hours and have no traffic conviction in the six months before she applies.
