After holding a learner’s permit for at least six months and completing a driver’s education course, you can schedule a road test. If you pass, you will receive a Junior Operator License (JOL) or an unrestricted driver’s license, depending on your age.

A JOL is a restricted driver’s license issued to drivers under 18 who have met all permit requirements and passed a road test. It includes passenger and nighttime driving restrictions.

They cannot drive between 12:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. For the first six months, they can also not carry passengers under 18 unless accompanied by a licensed driver over 21.
