Are you under 18 years of age?
If the answer is yes, you need to know about the NYS Graduated Driver License Program.
If you have a junior driver license or you are learning to drive with a learner permit, then you are allowed limited driving privileges.
There are general rules for all drivers of any age with learner permits. There are also additional special rules if you have a junior learner permit or a junior driver license. The general and special rules restrict where in New York State you can drive, the time of day you can drive, and in what other situations you are allowed to drive.
It is important for you to understand exactly which driving privileges you have and which privileges you do not have. If you are convicted for a violation of the rules, your junior permit, license or privileges can be suspended or revoked for 60 days.
To learn about the Graduated License Program and the restrictions, read the brochure
