In California I believe you can still get your driver's license after your permit expired, however you cannot drive without the permit until after you get your driver's license.

Yes
15 for a learners permit and 16 to drive by yourself
To prepare for a driver license permit, I would read all the manuals you can get a hold of. Your local DMV should have them for free or you can go to their website to find them.
You can get your permit when you are 15 ½ if you have taken driver's education. You must have your permit for six months and drive for 50 hours (10 of which should be in the dark) before you can get your license. If you have taken driver's education you can get your permit exactly six months before your birthday; this means that you could get your intermediate driver's license at age 16. However, if you don't take driver's education, you could get your permit when you are 16 and an intermediate license when you are 16 ½. This means, if you have taken driver's education, you could get an unrestricted license at 16 ½ and if you have not taken driver's education you could get an unrestricted license at 17 ½. If you are 18 or older, you do not need a permit and can get your license without going through this process.
You must be 15 to get your permit, 16 to get your license. You have to have your permit for an entire year before you get your license if you're under the age of 18.
No. A driver on a learner's permit must be supervised by a licenced driver of legal age, and they're required to be in a condition where they could legally drive themselves. If you're too drunk to legally drive the vehicle yourself, you're too drunk to be a supervising driver.
You can get a driver's license at age 18 .
In Texas, you can get a Learner's Permit at the age of 15, a Restricted Driver's License at the age of 16, and get a Full/Unrestricted Driver's License at the age of 17.
