A
driver's permit,
learner's permit,
learner's license or
provisional license, is a restricted license that is given to a person who is learning to
drive, but has not yet satisfied the requirement to obtain a
driver's license. Having a driver's permit for a certain length of time is usually one of the requirements (along with
driver's education and a
road test) for applying for a full driver's license. To get a learner's permit, one must typically pass a written permit test, traffic, and rules of the road.
