So, I go to the DMV today...

[ItTheCow]

I went to get/renew my Learner's Permit since it expires in 2 days and I still have to take the driving test. I did the usual stuff and went home.

When I got home, I checked the card and it said "Operator Driver License, Probationary." I knew something was wrong since it said "Operator Driver License." I checked Google and it turns out that I have a valid license that allows to me drive solo . I'm guessing the DMV clerk thought I had already taken the driving test during Driver's Ed (I didn't), and that all I needed to do was to take the test to get my license. Cool . Don't worry, I'm a pretty good driver . Happy, happy, happy

plus im sure your parents wouldnt let you drive by yourself since they know you dont really have your license. also why dont you just take the test, its not very hard and if you have to renew your permit doesnt that mean that you have had it for a year ? Just get your license...

lmao. I just pictured you getting pulled over by the cops and arrested because you assumed you were right.

INDIANA'S Probationary Driver's License:
Indiana's Probationary Driver's License Card (Senate Enrolled Act 16) is effective January 1, 1999. The law is designed to provide young drivers with a slow, steady introduction to driving and to help develop safe driving habits. The provisions of the law are as follows:

* Drivers under 18 may not operate a motor vehicle during existing Indiana curfew hours (11 p.m. - 5 a.m. Sunday - Thursday nights; 1 a.m. - 5 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights). They may drive during these hours if they are driving to and from a legal job, school sponsored event, church activity or when driving with a parent or guardian.

* During the first 90 days after getting their license, drivers under 18 can't transport other people in the car unless someone at least 21 years old, who holds a valid driver's license, is riding in the passenger seat. Young drivers may drive unaccompanied as long as they do not carry passengers the first 90 days.

* All passengers must wear a seat belt if riding with a driver under age 18.

Nothing I can't live without. Indiana has a graduated system, and I've reached the top for my age group.

Congrats! It's **confirmed*** that is the license that the Indy DMV gives out once you pass your writen/drivers test. Hopefully they put that in the system so you won't get in trouble if you get pulled over.

how do you know it doesnt just say "license" but in their computer system it just says permit. could happen and youd be screwed.

edit : yea i didnt see your above post, you really should call them and check it out.
