Can you get a driving permit at the age of 15 in California?

Question

i was wondering if you can get a driving permit to go to school and back at 15 years old in California. Because i've heard that you can but i don't know if it's true, if so what do you have to do to get it?

Answer 1

15 1/2  

Answer 2

you have to be 15 years, 6 months.

take a driver's ed class ( i recommend community college for that )

you need to take the classroom AND behind the wheel

you will get two slips, take them and your birth certificate, and your parent to the DMV. you will take a written test.  If you pass (get less than 9 wrong), you will get your permit--its basically a few half sheets of paper stapled together.

It will cost a couple hundred dollars for the drivers ed, and about 30 for your permit. it will expire after a year.  you have to have a current permit to get your license.

when you have your permit, you have to have a licensed driver over the age of 25 in the front seat of the car at all times

Answer 3

correction guys and gals... law was just changed in california. a driver cannot get theyre permit til they are 16. and cant get theyre license til they are 16 1/2

i have a feeling that they are slowly working their way up to 18 like MADD is presurizing them to do

(MADD needs to get lost. they make everyones lives harder)

Answer 4

find the web site for your DMV.....

Answer 5

no you have to be 15 1/2 ..you need to take drivers ed first and complete a certain amount of driving hours with an older person supervising then you can go to the dmv and get your permit
