What is the driving age in Indiana?

My teen is pressuring me for a learner’s permit but we’re new to Indiana and I don’t know the rules. What’s the legal driving age here?

It’s not uncommon for teens to be eager to get out on the road! But the laws state-to-state can definitely get confusing. The driving age in
Indiana
, is 15 years old for a learner’s permit and 16 years old for a driver’s license.
To apply for a learner’s permit at 15, they will have to enroll in a state-approved, behind-the-wheel driving course. Otherwise, they’ll have to wait until they’re 16. They’ll also need to pass a vision test and knowledge exam and, if under 18, get a signature from a financially responsible adult.

policy. Unfortunately, multi-driver policies tend to be a bit more expensive—especially when young drivers are involved. Luckily, [Jerry] (
