Question: hi i live in charlotte,nc,and im 14.5.i was wondering can i still get my drivers permit since im in school?
Answered By: Terri
Answer: Hi Nick. You can enroll in Driver Ed at your school for FREE at 14.5 years old. When you finish/pass the class, you can get the permit and practice all you can for 1 year - then you can get the drivers license. Good luck.

Question: A sticky problem came up between to parents. The child is 16 and wants his lisence. He is now living with his grandparents. The grandparents are not gaurdians at this time. Both parents have custody, but he does not want to live with either.
Does he need permission to take drivers education course and get his permit from anyone at his age?
Answered By: Terri
Answer: As far as I know, he can take the Driver Ed. class at his school free and without a permission slip. He will have to have transportation to & from the class. When he goes to the DMV for the Permit and/or license - under 18 years old - he'll need EITHER Parent to sign permission then. At 18 years old, he can sign for himself. I hope that helps and good luck.

Question: how exactly do you go about getting a learners permit without being in a driver's education class? or is it the same regardless? do you need car insurance before getting your permit?
Answered By: Terri
Answer: NC requires teens UNDER 18 years old to take the 30 hour class + 6 hours driving in a driver ed class BEFORE you can get the NC Permit. IF you are 18 years old or older - you just take your ID to the DMV, take the tests and get the permit. You do not need automobile insurance until you go for your drivers license test and are ready to get the license. If I can answer anything else, just give me a call at: 704-568-3050. Thanks, *Terri.

Answered By: Terri
Answer: If you're 18 years old - all you need to do is go to the DMV and take the tests for the license. 1.) eye test 2) sign test 3) 25 question written test 4) road test. As long as you can drive, and pass the DMV road test, you can get a license with no classes required. I hope that helps. (*Terri.)
Name: Dominic
Question: Im 17 and turning 18 in two months. The problem is i start college in one month and i need transportation to comute back and foward school and work. Is there anything i can do to get my licence a little early.
Answered By: Terri
Answer: Sorry but I can't think of a thing, Dominic. I'm assuming you haven't had a permit for 1 full year and are under 18 years old. I wish I could be of more help and have better news for you but NC law requires teens under age 18 to take the Driver Ed Course of 30 hour classroom + 6 hours behind the wheel + be in school (private, home school or public school.) When you turn 18 years old - on your birthday, you can go get the license and then drive to college. Give us a call if you need any help. (*Terri.)
