What is the driving age in Nevada?

My 14-year-old daughter is starting to talk about getting her learner’s permit, but we just moved to Nevada a month ago and I don’t know all the laws yet. What is the driving age in Nevada?

Your daughter is going to have to wait just a little bit longer before she can get behind the wheel of a car. The driving age in
Nevada
is 15-and-a-half years old for a learner’s permit.
When it’s time to apply for a permit in Nevada, all your daughter needs to do is go to the local DMV office with the required documents and pass the vision test and written exam. She can get a head start studying for the written exam by checking out the Nevada Driver Handbook. The learner’s permit:
  • Is valid for one year
  • Allows teens to drive while accompanied by a licensed driver who is over the age of 21 and has at least one year of driving experience
It’s important to note that Nevada law requires anyone under the age of 18 to complete a state-approved driver’s ed course before they can get a full driver’s license.
