Answer 1

As for as I know you only have to be sixteen to get a drivers license as long as you already have a permit.

Answer 2

tell your 'friend' he is wrong, and to quit giving out bad information if he doesn't know the answer.

Obtaining a Learner's Permit

You must be at least 15 years of age.

An original birth certificate, certified copy of the birth certificate (with embossed state seal), certificate of birth registration, certified copy of court records (adoption, name changes), certified naturalization records, immigration card or a Valid Passport needs to be presented. More identification requirement information can be found here.

So, the correct answer is "You must be at least 15 years of age."

See the link below for more.

Added:  Sorry, I didn't really answer your question completely.  After holding a permit for a year, or at age 16, you can get the license.

To Obtain Your First Driver's License (Class D)

A valid learner's license must be held for one year and one day from its issuance. It must be surrendered at the time of testing.

  

You must be at least 16 years old.

Effective January 1, 2007, sixteen year olds must be in compliance with Joshua's Law, which requires GA approved Driver’s Education before license issuance. At age 17, Driver’s Education is not required.



See http://www.dds.ga.gov/teens/DLdata.aspx?... for that.

Answer 5

yup, i bel ieve it is true. What i would do if i were...dont take any classes that you have to pay for...just wait until you have to take the Drivers ED course. in the meantime, if you have a  permit, take advantage to boost your knowledge on the road...drive mom and dad when they need to shop or gas up.
