New Law - Makes It Easier To Get A NC Driver's License
Starting Monday, NC teenagers no longer have to wait an entire year to get their driver's license.
The General Assembly sent Cooper last month legislation addressing in part when a teen can move up from a learner's permit to what's called a limited provisional license and drive by themselves. State law has required a young person to hold the permit for at least 12 months, although lawmakers reduced it to six months temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic to address delayed driver’s education classes.
