Sam lives in Virginia and is 15 years and 1 month old. When can DMV first issue Sam a learner's permit?
Correct answer: When Sam is older than 15 years and 6 months
Why
Virginia sets the learner's permit age at over 15 years and 6 months, and the applicant must also pass the knowledge exam and the vision screening. With the permit, you may drive only with a qualified licensed driver in the seat beside you, usually a driver 21 or older. The permit time is for supervised practice, which builds skill before you drive alone.
