Do you have to have your learner's permit before your license?

I thought I did, but then I heard something the other day and it was basically saying if you were sixteen and you passed your test you could get your license. I'm in Texas by the way.

Is the test hard?

Regardless of your age you will be issued a permit before you can get your license.
Driving is a learned skill, just like reading, spelling or math- you must be taught how to do all of those things.
The sole purpose of a learner's permit is so you can learn to drive, either on your own with a family member or in a structured driver's training class.
There is no right to drive, no right to be issued a license. Driving is only a privilege granted by your state & your state does not have to allow you that privilege.
If you never get a permit to learn, how are you going to be able to prove to the person giving you your behind-the-wheel test that you can safely operate a vehicle for them to check "Passed" on your driving test with a clear conscious? |

Hi Dewy, yes you have to get a permit before you can take your driving test.
Your permit is so you can practice and prepare for the driving test.
The test isn't hard if you practice, if you don't take driving lesson's with a driving school, go to the DMV where your going to take the test.
Watch other people take the test, follow them when they go on the course, and just mimic what you see.
You can practice at most DMV's after hours.
Relax It's natural to feel anxiety but if you know what your going to do you'll drive right Thru. |

I'm not sure about Texas, but usually you have to get a learners permit first if you are under 18. If you are over 18 you can just go take the test for a license right away. |

yes a majority of states include having a permit before getting a license. 2 years ago i lived in virginia & it used to be the same case as in texas, but i think they changed it in VA. |

I do believe in most states you HAVE to have a learner's permit first. |

in texas you have to get your permit, unless you're already 18. but having a permit significantly lowers the amount of insurance you have to pay, so i'd go ahead and get it. :) |

You can't operate a car without a learner's permit or license. If you've never had a license, then you need a learner's permit to operate the car in order to take the test. |

I don't think you have to have a permit first, although it will make your insurance rates lower if you have had driver's education training before you get a license |

I live in California and out here if you are 16 & you don't plan on getting a driving permit then you have to wait until your 18 to get your license. |
