A 3-minute lesson from the Nebraska course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
The School Permit is Nebraska's permit for rural students. It lets a young teen drive without a supervising adult, but only to and from school and school activities.
Know the rule
An SCP can be issued if you live outside a city of 5,000 or more, or attend school outside a city of 5,000 or more.
Sam lives on a farm outside a town of 1,200 and has held an LPE for two months. With his SCP he may drive himself and his younger sister, who lives with him, to school and basketball practice there. A solo trip to the mall is not allowed.
