What You Need to Know About Buena Park California Licensing Procedures
Starting the process of applying for your Buena Park California learner's permit or first Buena Park California driver license can seem very daunting at first, so it helps to have as much information handy as possible. Buena Park California has a graduated driver license program for Buena Park California drivers ages 15 and a half to 18, and there are a number of things we want you to be aware of to make sure that applying for your Buena Park California driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's begin.
Types of Licenses
You should be made familiar with the three basic types of Buena Park California driver's licenses. They are: Buena Park California learner's permit, Buena Park California teen driver's license, and the regular Buena Park California driver's license. Here's a simple outline of the requirements and restrictions for each license type:
Buena Park California Learner's permit- must be at least 15 and a half years of age, but under 18
- must be accompanied by a person at least 25 years of age who also has a Buena Park California driver's license
- cannot drive with passengers under 21 (except siblings)
- must be 18 or have had learner's permit at least 6 months
- late night driving is restricted (see details below)
- requires passing a road test
- cannot transfer passengers under 21 until 1-year probationary period has passed
- must be 18 or have had teen driver's license for one year
- no further restrictions apply
Buena Park California Learner Permit or Buena Park California Provisional License
Although you have to be at least 16 to apply for your first Buena Park California driver's license, when you're 15 and a half you can apply for a Buena Park California provisional license, otherwise known as a Buena Park California learner's permit.
So if you're 15 and a half or older, take the following to your local Buena Park California DMV.
- The $31 free, which entitles you to three exams of any type within a 12-month period, and also includes the fee for your Buena Park California instruction permit and your Buena Park California driver license
- Form DL44, along with your parent or guardian signatures. To save time, you can also make an appointment online here.
- The proper identification
- Form DL400C, which is your certificate of completion you receive after you complete your online drivers education course
At your local Buena Park California DMV, you'll have to pass a vision exam, as well as a traffic laws and sign test. Once you pass the written exam and vision test, you'll receive your Buena Park California instructional driver license, or Buena Park California learner's permit. This license will enable you to practice driving providing you have someone 25 years or older in the seat next to you as you learn. However, the driver accompanying you must have a Buena Park California driver's license. You can find a few sample tests on the Buena Park California DMV website here.
Buena Park California Teen Driver's License
If you're 18 or have had your Buena Park California learner's permit for at least 6 months, you're ready to try for a Buena Park California teen driver's license! But before you do so, you must complete the following requirements:
- Be able to provide proof of financial responsibility (more on this later).
- Completed driver education
- 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with a professional driving instructor.
- 50 hours of practice with an adult 25 or older (at least 10 of these practice hours must have been done at night)
- Have your Buena Park California learner's license for at least 6 months
Because you only get three chances to pass the road test, we strongly suggest getting as much driving practice as you can! Any 16 year old applicants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when taking the Buena Park California driver's license road test. After you pass your driving test, you'll receive an interim Buena Park California license (valid for 60 days) until your Buena Park California photo license comes in the mail. If you fail the Buena Park California driving test, you have to wait two weeks before taking it again.
Buena Park California Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
There are several restrictions you need to be aware of regarding your Buena Park California learner's license or Buena Park California provisional drivers license.
If you only have your Buena Park California learner's permit, you must be supervised by a parent, legal guardian, or person over 25 who has at least one year of driving experience. The person who is supervising you must sit in the front passenger seat. In addition, you cannot drive with passengers under 21 (except brothers or sisters).
If you have a teen driver's license but are under 18, you are not permitted to drive a vehicle between 11AM and 5AM for the first twelve months unless have a parent, legal guardian with you. Also, you cannot transfer passengers under 21 until your 1 year probationary period has passed.
Exceptions to this restriction are made in the following cases:
- You have a medical necessity
- You are participating in a school activity
- You have an employment necessity
- You must transport a family member
- You are an emancipated minor.
