What happens if I’m caught driving alone with a permit?
I live in New York and I really need to practice driving for my test. But my older brother is out of town and I don’t have anyone to drive with. What happens if I’m caught driving alone with a permit?

I can see why you need to get some driving in, but driving by yourself with a learner’s permit isn’t worth the risk. In New York, you could face some serious penalties!
If caught driving alone with a permit, here’s a breakdown of the potential punishment in New York:
- A fine of $75 to $300
- A delay in getting your full license
Considering you want to take your test sooner than later, risking a delay to get your full license isn’t worth the extra practice.
It’s also important as a
young driver
to have car insurance in place before you take your driving test. Car insurance app Jerry
can help you find affordable rates by comparing over 50 insurance companies.Hopefully, you can get some practice in when your older brother gets back!
