What happens if you get pulled over without a Dl

[Tret]

but you have a drivers permit?

Are you meeting all the requirements of the permit? I would think it would be on file just like a DL.

You're essentially fvcked. If you are driving alone, or with some other minors (unlicensed under 18) you are fvcked. Homever, in NY, if you are driving with a parent or a driving instructor, and you get pulled over, they get the ticket. When you drive with a permit, you are essentially driving with the licensed adults license.

lets say you don't have anyone over 25 years old

That technically would could call for an arrest, but will most likely mean:

-The cops take away your permit
-They call your parents
-You can not get your license until you are 18 (maybe even possibly 1-2 years later if you are near 18)
-If you are getting pulled over for something else (ie: speeding) you are screwed (you'll be screwed on insurance, getting a license, etc)

If you're driving legally under your permit restrictions, it's basically the same as not having your real DL. They can give you a ticket, but most of the time they will either check the number or make you bring it in later. If you're driving illegally with your permit, then you're in a bit more trouble.

Well, it happened to me. I was 15 years old, out joyriding by myself at 4 AM. I got pulled over for driving like a moron and issued a ticket for driving without a license. The car was impounded and I was taken into custody for an hour or two, and then released to my mom. A while later, I went to court and the the judge gave me a $40 fine. That was the extent of the legal consequenses. My mom was my ultimate "punisher," because she didn't sign for my license until I moved out at age 17, when she decided that it would be best if I had a licence, because she knew I was going to drive friends' cars anyway.

Ouch. I got caught driving at 15 outside of the permit restrictions. I was going to a school function, but not to school, so it was technically illegal. The cop just had me call my dad, and he came and got the car. I didn't get a ticket or anything. Guess I got lucky.
