Provisional License Question in Maryland
Reader’s Question:
If I’m over the age of 18 do I still have to hold my permit in Maryland for four months or can I just try my driving test? I live in Towson Maryland.

As of October 1, 2005 you now must hold the learner’s permit for at least six months before eligible for a provisional license in the state of Maryland. This seems to be true even if you are over eighteen since Maryland has a Rookie Driver Graduated Licensing System. You might want to verify these information with the Maryland Vehicle Administration (MVA).
It seems that after obtaining driving experience with the learner’s permit for six months, maintaining a clean driver’s record and finishing a driver’s education course; new motorist are eligible for a provisional license. After the provisional license holder requirements are met, the Maryland Vehicle Administration automatically coverts the driver’s license into having a full driver’s license status. When the provisional license expires the motorist will need to go in to renew it and at that time will be issued a full license.
