[quote=Anonymous]She has to 15 and 9 month before she can get her learner’s permit. The permit classes aren’t required and in our experience aren’t necessary. She can access the manual and a test tutorial on the MVA website, and my kids didn’t find the test to be difficult.

After getting the permit, instruction/practice from parents should start right away, as well as drivers ed. Drivers ed has a classroom component (which some driving schools may still offer online) and 6 hours of in-car instruction. In our experience, the instructors want the kids to be pretty far along in their driving practice before doing the in-car. That may vary by instructor. Definitely don’t wait for her to complete drivers ed before you begin driving practice with her.

And think of the 60 hours as a bare minimum - you really want your kid to get a lot more driving practice than that.

She is eligible to take the driving test 9 months after getting her permit, as long as she’s completed driving school and the required practice hours. So, 16.5 would be the youngest.[/quote]
