Can you drive with your Maryland Learners Permit in Florida?

Answer 1

Not all the way, and you'd have to be in compliance in all the states you passed through:

• Connecticut: Must be supervised by a licenced driver at least 20 years of age who has been licenced in that vehicle class for at least four years, with no suspensions or revocations in that time period.
• New York: You may not drive in New York State if you are under 16, even if you hold a valid licence from another state. Under 18 may operate a vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. when accompanied by another driver over 18 years of age, and may only operate a vehicle from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. when accompanied by a licenced parent or guardian. Out of state permits are not eligible in New York City.
• Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania does NOT recognise out-of-state learner's permits, and you would not be permitted to drive in that state.
• Maryland: Driver must be at least 15 years, nine months, and must be accompanied by a licenced driver at least 21 years of age who has been licenced in that class of vehicle for at least three years, and who must remain in the passenger seat next to the driver.
• District of Columbia: Does NOT recognise out-of-state learner's permits.
• Virginia: Driver must be accompanied by a licenced driver at least 21 years of age if not a sibling, or at least 18 years of age if a sibling.
• North Carolina: Driver must be at least 16 years of age, and must abide by both the restrictions of their home state and the state of North Carolina.
• South Carolina: Does NOT recognise out-of-state learner's permits.
• Georgia: Will accept any learner's permit, so long as the driver heeds by the restrictions of the issuing state.
• Florida: Must be accompanied by a licenced driver of at least 21 years of age, who must remain in the passenger seat. Furthermore, a driver on a learner's permit may operate a vehicle only during daylight hours for the first three months they hold a learner's permit, then until 10 p.m. thereafter.

So you wouldn't be able to drive in Pennsylvania, D.C., or South Carolina.

Answer 2

Those with a Maryland state learner's permit may drive in Florida. However, all rules that applied in Maryland also apply in Florida. A licensed driver must accompany a learning driver.

Answer 3

As long as you are driving with legal regards to whatever PA regulations impose upon you, yes.
