Here in florida you have to have some 21 or older in the passenger seat with a valid full drivers license. If you are pulled over for what ever reason, they give you a warning. After that its a $80 ticket. My friend was driving with his permit and got pulled over for driving with out his headlights and they gave him a warning for the license and a ticket for the headlights. The second time he got caught was for speeding, they gave him a speeding ticket and a $80 ticket for not having someone 21 or older next to him with a license. After a few times they will take you license away and you would have to wait till your 18, or go to court. Depends on your state. Seems most states are the same.
