Albion Nebraska Online Driver Education and Albion Nebraska Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Albion Nebraska learner's permit or first Albion Nebraska driver license. Albion Nebraska has a graduated driver license program for Albion Nebraska drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Albion Nebraska driving license goes as smoothly as possible. The amount of information isn't overwhelming, but there are a few pitfalls you'll want to avoid. That's where this short guide comes in.

Albion Nebraska Instructional Permit or Albion Nebraska Learner Permit

• You pass the written exam and driving test given by your driver safety course instructor
• You provide a 50 hour certification form signed by your parent or guardian
• You've held your Albion Nebraska LPE in good standing for 2 months
• You've completed a Albion Nebraska approved driver safety course (more on this later)
  
• You provide the necessary personal information

At 15, you can also apply for the Albion Nebraska Learner’s Permit (LPD). However, if you already have a Albion Nebraska School Learner Permit or Albion Nebraska School Permit, you're exempt from taking the required written exams. The Albion Nebraska Learner’s Permit is valid for 1 year and may be renewed.

Don't forget: with your Albion Nebraska Learner’s Permit, you can practice driving only with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or a licensed driver who is 21. Be sure to carry your Albion Nebraska Learner’s Permit with you at all times, and insist that all passengers wear seatbelts. After 6 months with your Albion Nebraska Learner’s Permit in good standing (no more than 3 points on your Albion Nebraska driving record), you’ll be ready for the next step in the Albion Nebraska Graduated License Program, the Albion Nebraska Provisional Operator Permit (POP).

The Albion Nebraska Provisional Driver License and Albion Nebraska Full License

In order to apply for your Albion Nebraska Provisional Operator Permit (POP), you’ll need to make sure you've satisfied a few Albion Nebraska State requirements before heading down to your local Albion Nebraska Driver Service Center:

• Complete a Albion Nebraska approved driver safety course
• Pass the written and driving tests given by your instructor (we hope you've been studying your Albion Nebraska driving manual!)
  
• Hold your Albion Nebraska learner’s permit for at least 6 months without incident
• Provide the 50 hour certification form
• 10 of the 50 driving hours must be at night

If you’ve completed these requirements, hurry down to your local Albion Nebraska Driver Service Center again, where you’ll pay the required fee and submit your Albion Nebraska Provisional License application. The final obstacle, unless you’ve completed a driver safety course, is the dreaded road test! If you pass, then give yourself a pat on the back--you’ve just earned your Albion Nebraska Provisional License!

Albion Nebraska Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

With driving as with everything else, practice makes perfect. Although you may be eager for full driving freedom, there are still a few restrictions you'll have to live with for a little bit longer:

• Everyone passenger must wear a seatbelt
• During the first 6 months, you may have only one passenger under 19 unless accompanied by a licensed driver 21 or older
• No driving between midnight and 6AM unless for emergencies, your job, or a school-related activity
• You may not use cell phones while driving (this includes personal digital assistants, text messaging, laptop computers and audio/video devices that send/receive messages)

After you turn 18 and have driven with your Albion Nebraska Provisional Operator Permit for at least 12 months (without receiving more than 3 points on your Albion Nebraska license), you've reached the finish line: you can now apply for the Albion Nebraska Operator License. Congrats!
