How long does a learner permit last for individuals aged 19 and older?

A learner permit for individuals aged 19 and older lasts for a maximum of 3 months unless the driver has completed driver education. During this time, the individual must practice driving under the supervision of a licensed driver. This timeframe encourages new drivers to gain sufficient practice and experience before they are eligible for a full license. If the individual completes a driver education course within those 3 months, they can proceed to apply for a full license sooner. This structured approach aids in ensuring that new drivers acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for safe driving.
