Can I get my license if i've been in an accident?

Question

I've had my permit for a while now (i'm 16), and recently I was driving with my dad and I back into someone in a parking lot. My dad's insurance covered, and the repairs on the guy's car was under $750, so his rates did not go up. Also it was JUST an insurance issue, the police were never notified. My parents say won't be able to drive until i'm 18, but I don't believe them.

(I live in Powell Ohio, if that has anything to do with it)

Answer 1

Even if the police were notified you'd still be able to get your license. Learners permits are for just that, learning, and while its bad to hit stuff (obviously) unless you were drunk or something like that at the time it shouldn't affect your license. Your parents could stop you from getting your license, but the government wouldn't.
