License Rules

Instruction permit: at 15 with a driving school, otherwise the knowledge exam at 15½ and the skills exam not before 18; the permit lasts 1 year and the knowledge score 2 years. A first license at 16 to 17 needs 6 months on the permit, a driver training course, 40 daytime and 10 night hours of practice, and 6 violation-free months. The knowledge exam is 40 questions with 32 correct to pass.

Intermediate license: for the first 6 months no passengers under 20 outside the family and no driving 1 to 5 a.m.; afterward at most 3 passengers under 20; no phone at all, hands-free included. New residents have 30 days to get a Washington license.

Example: licensed for 2 months at 17, you want to drive three classmates to a movie. Not allowed: for the first 6 months you may carry no passengers under 20 except immediate family.
