1Learner's permit provisions take effect in Connecticut January 1, 1997. Regulations establishing the expiration date for permits have not been issued. By law the term cannot be less than 180 days. The Kentucky law become effective October 1, 1996.

2 Learner's permits aren't issued in New Hampshire. Anyone 15 years and 6 months old may drive when accompanied by a driving instructor, parent, guardian, or other licensed driver who is 25 or older.

3 Licensing laws in New York prohibit 16 and 17 year-olds from driving in New York City.

4Tennessee's law requires license applicants to have permits that have been held for 3 months, but this requirement is waived for applicants who have successfully completed an approved driver education program.

5 Instruction permits are also issued in Utah to people 15 years and 9 months old. Valid for 1 year, these allow driving only with a professional driving instructor. Instructors may give students practice permits, valid for 90 days, that allow driving only with a parent or guardian.

6 The new Delaware driving law goes into affect on July 1, 1999, states that you must have your permit for six months before you can obtain a license.
