What's next? An instruction (learner's) permit 

You may apply for an instruction/learner's permit with the DMV starting at age 14. To get the permit, you'll need to pass a written knowledge and vision test.

This permit will allow you to learn from the driver's seat with a qualified licensed driver accompanying you.
