Yes. You will need a permit to take a driver test.
If they have never been licensed before, yes. They need a permit in order to practice driving before getting their driver's license.
Indiana's requirement to get a driver's license is to have had a learner's permit for 180 days (around six months). Other requirements are passing a driving skills test, taking an examination and a vision screening.
What were you stopped for? You can be charged with that offense. In regards to your permit status; unless you are driving on a learner's permit or are operating in violation of any other restrictions you may have, nothing.

Not without a learner's permit.
Driving permit? Gun permit? Building permit?
You must have a permit to operate a motor vehicle on public roads. Some states require a drivers education course to be completed first but some only require a written test to be done for a permit to be issued, Then you can drive but only with a licenced driver in the vehicle.
You always need to obtain a drivers permit--regardless of age. You take the written test for the permit, go and get some hours behind the wheel with another driver, and then take the actual driving test for the license.
YES! You are driving. You have to have insurance. absolutely. it does not matter what stage of driving you are at, you must have insurance. you can get pulled over and be ticketed on your permit. you can also get into an accident while driving on a permit. all of the above are logically reasons that you must have insurance to drive on a permit. in fact, i am surprised that you were not asked to show proof of insurance to obtain a permit. so in short, yes you do need insurance to drive on a permit.
Any new prospective driver, regardless of age, is going to require a learners permit and gain driving experience with a licensed driver before they are eligible for their "solo" drivers license.
it depends what state you live in you have to be 15 years old to get your learners permit.
New law says that if you are over the age of 17, you do not have to get a learner's permit, you can just take your driving test, if you fail, you have no license or CP license. If a twenty-year-old is caught driving alone with only a learning permit she or he will first of all get a ticket for not having a drivers license. And if the person doesn't have a drivers license they probably don't have insurance coverage. In most states if you do not provide proof of insurance when pulled over by the cops your driving privileges will be suspended, which means that it will cost the person more money (reinstatement fees, SR-22 bonds, etc.)when they do decide to actually get their drivers license.
