What type of permit allows a person under age 18 to drive in a driver education program?

The type of permit that allows a person under age 18 to drive as part of a driver education program is the Instruction Permit. This permit is specifically designed for new drivers who are undergoing formal driver education. It allows them to practice driving under certain restrictions and with an adult supervising in the vehicle.

The Instruction Permit is key to ensuring that young drivers gain the necessary skills and knowledge in a controlled and safe manner. It typically has limitations, such as requiring that a licensed adult be present in the vehicle while the individual practices driving. This ensures that the new driver receives guidance while developing their driving abilities.

In contrast, a Limited Learners Permit allows individuals to practice driving but is obtained after they have passed a certain level of training, often after the instructional phase, while a Temporary Driving Certificate is usually issued for specific situations, such as for individuals who have lost their license or are awaiting a new license. A Full Provisional License is granted after completing the required driving experience and tests, allowing the individual to drive independently with fewer restrictions.
