Your Guide to Lexington North Carolina Online Driver Education and Licensing Procedures
The process of applying for your Lexington North Carolina learner's permit or first Lexington North Carolina driver's license can be nerve-racking, but it doesn't have to be if you have the right information. The first thing you need to know is that Lexington North Carolina has a Graduated Driver License Program that is specially geared toward younger drivers like yourself. The program will allow you to safely gain driving experience in stages, before being granted full driving privileges.
Each stage of the process has its own guidelines, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Lexington North Carolina driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.
The Lexington North Carolina Instructional Permit or Lexington North Carolina Learner’s Permit
When you turn 14 and a half, you can enroll in a Lexington North Carolina driver education course, which will give you a head start on the licensing process (more info on driver education courses can be found at the bottom of this guide).
When you turn 15, you can apply for a Lexington North Carolina Learner’s Permit. You’ll need the following:
- Proof of residency
- Driving eligibility certificate (which you receive after you have completed a Lexington North Carolina approved driver education course)
- Social Security Card
If you’ve got all of the necessary materials, head on down to your local Lexington North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to pass a vision test, as well as a written signs test. Your reward for putting up with all of this is your Lexington North Carolina Learner’s Permit!
Remember, the purpose of a learner's permit is to give you chance to polish your driving skills before moving on to the "real thing." For that reason, there are a few restrictions on your permit that you must obey:
- You must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who has had his/her license for at least 5 years
- All passengers have to wear seatbelts
- During the first 6 months, you can only drive (with a supervising driver) between the hours of 5AM and 9PM (after 6 months have passed, you can practice at any time with your supervising driver)
- Be sure to carry your North Carolina Learner’s Permit with you at all times
- You may not use a cell phone or electronic device while driving
Once you’ve had your learner's permit for 1 year in good standing and have met these few requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Lexington North Carolina Graduated License Program: the provisional license.
The Lexington North Carolina Provisional Driver License or Lexington North Carolina Full License
You can apply for your Lexington North Carolina Limited Provisional license once you’ve held your Lexington North Carolina Learner’s Permit for at least 1 year and have met the following requirements:
- No traffic convictions, seat belt infractions, or cell phone violations for 6 months before application
- You have held the North Carolina Learner’s Permit for 1 year (you must be at least 16)
If you have satisfied these requirements, then head on down to your local Lexington North Carolina DMV. Pay the license fee, and then take the road test (many people dread this part, but if you've been practicing diligently, it shouldn't present a problem). If you pass, then congratulations: you’ve just earned your Lexington North Carolina Limited Provisional License.
You've come a long way since you began this process, but you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you’ve held your new license for at least 6 months without incident:
Also, keep in mind the restrictions on your Lexington North Carolina Limited Provisional License:
- You may only drive unsupervised from 5AM to 9PM (the exception is if you are driving to/from your job, volunteer fire/rescue or EMS service)
- Only 1 passenger under 21 (that is not an immediate family member)
- No other passengers under 21 if you are carrying family members under 21
- No cell phones while driving unless for emergency purposes
This may seem awfully restrictive, but look on the bright side: once you’ve had your Lexington North Carolina Provisional license for 6 months you can apply for your Lexington North Carolina full driver’s license, which will mean freedom!
Once you receive your Lexington North Carolina Learner’s Permit or Lexington North Carolina Provisional driver’s license, you’re ready to drive--or are you? Not quite! Unfortunately, auto accidents are a fact of life for even the most seasoned drivers. Thus, Lexington North Carolina drivers are required by law to be covered by liability insurance. If you are in an accident and found to be driving without Lexington North Carolina mandatory liability insurance, your Lexington North Carolina license could be suspended.
- $30,000 bodily injury for one person
- $60,000 bodily injury two or more people
- $25,000 for property damage per accident
