    GA Learning to drive question..

    I would like to know what do I need have in place to take my niece driving, she's 17 and needs to get her drivers license and I'm willing to teach her how to drive while I we both have the time.

    What if she has her birth certificate on her and I have my DL, is that ok?

    Thanks

    Doesn't she need a learner's permit in your state?

    Sir I am not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't know.


    I guess my next question is, if she does need a learner's permit and we get stopped while she's learning how to drive and I am the only licenced driver in the car what will happen?

    Maybe I will take her to get her permit tomorrow and then let her drive another day.

    She will get charged with driving without a license (a criminal traffic charge she could be arrested for) and you would be charged with allowing an unlicensed operator to drive (another criminal charge you could be arrested for).

    In SC, she would first study the Drivers Handbook, then take a test to obtain a Learner's Permit, then drive under (Your) Supervision to learn how to physically perform the actions... so make sure you don't have or allow your bad habits to influence her. Typically a few (or several) weeks later, she returns to the Highway Department and takes an actual Drivers Test with an examiner.

    If you have access to private property, you can teach her some basic things, but that's not how the "program" is set up.
