As someone who grew up in NYS but hasn't lived there in a while, that's a huge change; it used to be there was a special driver's ed that would let you drive between 9pm-9am, or somesuch (assuming it was not to/from school or a job) when 17, but back when I went through that process you could get at least that partial license at 16.
- soylentcola 11y agoFor us it was the "provisional license" prior to 18. That said, in my house it didn't matter. Dad was old school and according to him, me getting a license would make his car insurance go up (which I would have to cover) but I wouldn't be allowed to drive his car because he depended on it to get to work and couldn't risk his punk-ass son messing it up.
