Penalty for driving underage?

Question

I live in connecticut, and i was wondering if anyone knows the penalty of being caught driving underage.

Answer 1

it's better to wait till youre 18 to drive.

Answer 2

CT laws state that a first time offense comes with a fine of $75 to $90 and the possibility of driving until the age of 18.

Subsequent convictions for this offense can come with penalties that can include up to 30 days in prison and a fine of $250 to $350.

This section on Connecticut law also notes that if a person was previously convicted of violating these provisions they can be fined an additional $500 or up to 100 community service hours.

Also if 2 previous violations have occurred there will be an additional mandatory 90 days imprisonment.

If as a minor you are caught driving without a license the person who let you drive their vehicle may also get in trouble depending upon state laws.

In many states it is unlawful for any person to cause or knowingly permit any minor under the age of 18 years to drive a motor vehicle upon a highway as an operator, unless the minor has first obtained a license to so drive a motor vehicle.

Answer 3

they can take away your license until you are 21. But usually they make you wait until 18.
