finally! After filling out a form on the internet a week and-a-half ago, I got my class c license in the mail. This new license takes away any restriction the class d and permit had (both had curfew and limited people in the car), the only thing it has is it still has "under 21" on it.
What sucks is I heard that kids in the same town who want their permit (not license) have to pay $425 and a two month-long driver's course. Well I guess better safe than sorry (actually I did a course like that as well but it gave me a discount on my car insurance and taught me a hella lot about driving).
Let me explain the order of licenses you get in the US (responding to kartong's post and to keep from posting another post).
When you want to apply for a permit (provisional license) you need to be 15 and I believe every test for the permit is different in each state (mine was a 20 question test....wow...). After you get your permit you can only drive with family members 21 and over (also you don't need insurance to drive with a permit).
A year and a day later you can apply for your Class D license. To do this you need to make a two-month appointment prior to the test (times varies in states). Once you get in you have to drive around and park and go on this course. After you pass (or fail and pass some other time) you get it (license). Six months after you get that license you are able to drive other people around, as when you first get it, it's only family members and yourself. You have to be insured to drive with a class D. no exceptions.
you can get a Class C license when you turn 18 and all you have to do is fill out a form.
