Can I drive with a licensed 18 year old in california?

I'm 18 and only have my permit, but my carpool friend is licensed and 18. Legally, could I drive the vehicle with him as a passenger?

NO, the friend would have to be over 25 years of age:

Your provisional instruction permit will have the following restrictions.

You must obey the traffic laws
You must drive without a collision
You must drive with your parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license.
You must hold your permit for six months before you can take your driving test to get your driver license.

EDIT !!! And apologies !!! I thought you were UNDER 18.

For those OVER 18: You will then be issued a permit if you have never been licensed before. When you practice, you must have an accompanying adult who is 18 years of age or older, with a valid California license. This person must be close enough to you to take control of the vehicle if necessary. It is illegal for you to drive alone. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.htm#two500

I've heard that if you have a note (from your parent)with you in the car, say for instance if you're going carpooling to school or work - then it should be okay.

good luck : )

yes it shud specifies specifically on your permit since you are already 18 that you are allow to drive as long as you have a person who is 18 years and older with a license in the vehicle with you
