I live in MD. I just turned 18 and I don’t have a learners permit for driving. It will take me 9 months exactly to be able to drive on my own. I need a license sooner because I am getting a job at a blog/magazine company which requires me to get around. I need to drop out of High school and skip college basically because i’m 2 years back and I can’t go to college because my parents never enrolled me in a school until I was 14. I want to go to court and ask if I may be granted a license Atleast after one month of getting my learners permit and practicing driving. Is this possible and under what classification would this be?
There’s also alot more that my parent’s have done that I could use in court as a reason for getting my license sooner.

If you are 18 and you can pass the written and driving test you can get your license, if you need driving time have a friend take you into the country and practice until you can pass the test. This article will give you some info on it.~

Five new state laws placed restrictions on teenage drivers in Maryland, effective as of October 1, 2005. These new driving laws in Maryland apply to all drivers under age 18, regardless of when they received their learner’s permit or provisional driver’s license. These new teen driving restrictions were designed in response to an increase in teen car crashes and are expected to give teens more experience driving with fewer distractions.

The laws are as follows:

• A new driver must hold a learner’s permit for at least 6 months before applying for a provisional license. (This is an increase from 4 months)

• A new driver must complete at least 60 hours of driving practice with someone at least age 21 who has held a driver’s license for 3 years or more. (This is an increase from a minimum of 40 hours)

• At least 10 of the practice driving hours must occur at night.

• Drivers under the age of 18 are prohibited from talking on cell phones while driving.

• For the first 5 months with a provisional license, drivers under the age of 18 are prohibited from driving other minors unless they are direct family members or accompanied by an adult.

In October 2008, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration will begin notifying the parents or guardians of a minor who receives a citation for any moving violation. Also a minor will be required to obtain a learner’s permit before they get behind the wheel, even under the supervision of a driving instructor. The permit validation date will be extended and can be valid for up to two years after the date of issuance. ~~
