Graduated Licensing started Sept 1, 2003

Those who receive their permit on or after Sept 1, 2003:

  • Permit holders need 20 hours of supervised driving before they can schedule a road test.

    • A driver with a Class DJ or Class MJ learner permit must bring to the road test a statement that certifies that the driver has enough driving experience. The statement must certify that the junior driver had a minimum of 20 hours of supervised driving experience. The supervising driver must be qualified by law to supervise a junior driver. A parent or a legal guardian of the junior driver must sign the statement.

      • Read more about this on the New York State DMV webpage.

  • Minimum 6 months wait period before a permit holder can schedule a road test.

  • Drivers who supervise drivers with permits must be 21 years old and have permission from permit driver's parent or guardian.

  • No one other than the permit driver and the supervising driver may occupy the front seat. Also, all people in car must wear seat belts.

After you pass the road test and receive your junior operator license:

  • A junior operator license driver will not be eligible for a full, unrestricted license until their junior license has been valid for 1 year or their 18th birthday, whichever period of time is longer.

  • A junior operator license driver cannot operate a vehicle that has more than two passengers who are under the age of 21 unless a parent, guardian, or a driving instructor also rides in the vehicle. There is an exception to this rule if the passengers are immediate family members.

  • Minimum age for a blue cardholder (passed driver's ed.) to receive an unrestricted license would raise from 17 to 17 ½.

  • New drivers have to be violation free for one year.

  • Your permit or junior license will be suspended for 60 days or revoked (taken away) if holder is convicted of: following too closely, speeding, racing, reckless driving, driving under the influence, or if charged with an accident.

Reasons for this change in the law:

  • Motor vehicles crashes are the leading cause of death & injury among teenagers.

  • 40% of 16-year-old drivers nationwide have a serious crash before their 17th birthday.
