If you're 15 years old and driving on your learner's permit, you will ONLY be able to drive while accompanied by a:

• Parent.
• Legal guardian.
• Licensed driving instructor.
• Adult who has signed a financial liability form.

If you're 16 and driving on your learner's permit, restrictions include:

After passing the Utah road test, you'll be eligible to receive:
