Can a person with a MI learners permit drive in NY state?

Answer 1

Yes, within restrictions provided by the states of NC and NY. Additionally, the State of New York prohibits out of state drivers from driving within the limits of New York City on a learner's permit.

Answer 2

Most recent info I have states the following:

New York will recognize another state's learner's permit subject to the restrictions printed on it and the New York State restrictions for junior driver licenses under 18. A person with a valid out-of-state license for the vehicle being driven may accompany a junior driver. You may not drive in New York state if you are under 16, even if you are licensed in another state. An out of state learner's permit is "NOT" valid in New York City. In all areas of the state except New York City, Nassau or Suffolk counties, a nonresident licensee under 18 years of age may operate a vehicle from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. when accompanied by a licensed driver over 18 years of age. He may operate a motor vehicle between the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. only when accompanied by a licensed parent or guardian.

Bear in mind that this is from a third party website, and changes made to New York State's policies made since the time of the posting may have yet to be posted on that website. You should always contact the New York DMV and verify this information before driving in their state on an out-of-state permit.
