Learner's Permit/Driving License

[jai6638]

I have just moved to US as a student in CT... just turned 15... desperately need a driver's license so that I can getto school without burdening host family. Pursuant to CT state law, I have to wait until I am 16.5 before I can get a license. I believe South Dakota, Vermont and New Hamshire have the lowest age threshold. Any ideas how I can take advantage of the lower age requirement in these other states (without actually being a resident?)!!

Thanks!

nope you got to wait... but its nice of you to be considerate of the host family.

Nope. Most states have a 15 y/o learners permit but you cannot drive alone so that doesn't help you.

you would have to move

You have to be 16 and a half before you can get your license then.

Well is there a way of getting a learners permit from states that have a 15 year limit without being a resident of that state? ( would try finding a way of driving with someone else later )

thanks

probably not.

in most (all?) states, proof of residence is required.

The school bus doesn't go near their house? That sucks...

Nope. The only government agencies without loopholes are the DMVs.

Nope. You have to be a resident of that state for them to give you a learner's permit.
