Don't remember permit but got license when I was 18. Graduation day actually. Pops took me to the rehearsal in the morning, went and took driving test after, and graduated later that night. School didn't offer drivers ed so we used to go to the dmv on weekends or nights when it was closed and practice on the track they had. Helped me out a lot. I know some places, especially in Dade, just take you out on the streets. My brother went to Dade and failed like twice in two spots in Hialeah. Bad place to drive, let alone take a driving test. Sucked that I couldn't drive until the end of the summer tho cuz our insurance updates end of August. Had to wait two months more.
