What does a provisional license mean?

Question

If im 16 and have a provisional what does it mean i can do?

Answer 1

Getting your licence is a 3 step thing

1st sit the test

2 get you L plates

3 then you get a P plate ( provisional)

after 12 months you have no need to have it IF you behave

If your caught hooning your back to P plates for 2 years also the same for DUI if you smash a car you loose your license for 6-12 months.

Mind you thats is Australia

Answer 2

I am going to assume you are referring to driving an automobile.  If so, it means that there are restrictions on your driving, ie: Having a fully licensed driver in the car with you; no night driving; no other teens in the car; etc.  The restrictions depend upon where you live.  If you have a provisional license (learner's permit/license), you should have also received a Driver's Handbook.  Look up the section on Provisional Licenses.

Answer 3

You can start to take driving lessons. If you dont have a provisional license then you wont be able to take driving lessons.

Answer 4

It varies from state to state but it usually means that your given permission by your DMV to drive a motor vehicle provided your family maintains proper insurance coverage for you as the provisional driver, you adhere to driving restrictions.  

For example most states with inexperienced, new drivers set hours that you may drive, many restrict or deny nighttime driving.  Exceptions can be made if a young, inexperienced driver is gainfully employed.  It also means that a legal adult age guardian or parent (s) who holds a valid drivers license must be seated next to while driving.  They are legally liable for you and your driving habits.  The number of passengers in the vehicle is usually restricted with provisional licenses too.  If your required to drive with glasses you better wear them or have on contacts.  Some states will recommend no radio, cell ph distractions.  Penalty's are quite severe to protect you and the public at large.

Bottom line I'm already concern about you and holding a provisional license and YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS???  Somewhere u missed vital information.  Go to your DMV website and search for accurate information. Don't rely on cyber space...  

Good luck to you and take your time in driving.  Don't be in an rush to grow up and do something foolish that could affect your entire future.  Obey the laws and enjoy your first step towards becoming an adult.
