A 3-minute lesson from the Wyoming course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
At 16 you can get an intermediate license. You drive on your own, but with limits on passengers and late-night driving. Break a rule and you lose the license for 30 days.
At 16 you may get an intermediate license if you have:
Held a Restricted Class C (RC) license, OR
Held an instruction permit and driven 50 hours behind the wheel, 10 at night, certified by a parent/guardian
You're 16 with an intermediate license and want to drive two non-family friends, both 16, to a movie. That's not allowed unless a licensed driver 18 or older is also in the car.
