Answer 1

where do you live, it makes a difference

For me I can drive with anyone who has had their full license for 3 years and they have to be the only passenger in the front seat, in the back there can only be up to as many people as there is functioning seat belts. After midnight I think there might only be able to be one or 2 I can't remember.

I can't find anything explaining it black and white but everything I find about restrictions says teens who have had their license less then a year cannot have a passenger under the age of 20 unless its family without a supervising driver present so maybe since it would be your sister and your mom supervising you it should be okay. If not and you get stopped say you didn't know they didn't explain it well enough to you. It's really their fault not yours when I got mine they told me every single limitation and rule mostly to cover their a*s.

Answer 2

"Minor's Permit Restrictions

You must practice with a parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license. The person must be close enough to take control of the vehicle at any time. A provisional permit does not let you drive alone—not even to a DMV office to take a driving test.

If you have an M1 or M2 permit, you cannot carry passengers, you must ride during daylight hours only, and you cannot ride on the freeway."

this is taken straight from the dmv website...
