Can you start driving at 15?
My son is just about to turn 15, and he’s champing at the bit to get his license. I told him that he can’t drive quite yet, but maybe that’s just me not wanting him to grow up. Can my son start driving at 15?

Being a parent is hard, and sometimes, you just don’t want to let go. However, 32 states have decided you can start driving at 15, so you’re probably going to have to loosen your grip.
This doesn’t mean that your son gets full driving privileges, though. It simply means he can get a learner’s permit or a
provisional license
, depending on where you live.If you want to feel more at ease about your son driving, research reputable driving schools in your area or allow your son to take driver’s ed at his high school. Both programs are accredited by the state, so your son will have proper instruction even before he puts the keys in the ignition.
While your teen can drive under your car insurance policy when they have their learner’s permit, you may want to take the time to get an idea of what their policy may cost in the future. To compare rates quickly and easily, use the
