I am almost 16. Can I obtain my "Junior Operator's License" when I turn 16?

No. The law requires that you be at least 16 1/2 to obtain a "Junior Operator's License." You would have to obtain your Learner's Permit at age 16 and drive for six (6) months without any surchargeable incidents or motor vehicle offenses before you would be eligible to apply for a "Junior Operator's License" at age 16 1/2

1. I am 16 1/2 years old and I heard that there is a law that requires driver training before I can get my driver's license. What does the law require?
2. I am almost 16. Can I obtain my "Junior Operator's License" when I turn 16?
3. I heard that a new driver with a JOL is not subject to the passenger restriction during the times when he is driving his friends to and from high school in a car pool. Is this true?
4. The back of my JOL says that "passenger restriction may apply if under 18." How will a police officer who stops me know if I am subject to the restriction?
5. What is the penalty if I get caught without my parent in the car?
6. Will I definitely be cited for violating the restriction if I am seen driving at 12:15 am?
7. I work all day and I will probably not have the time to supervise the additional 12 hours of required driving experience. Can my brother do it?
