McKinney Teen Driving Accident Lawyer

When Can a Teenager Start Driving?

Normally, without any special permission, an individual can start driving at age 16 in Texas. Most teenage drivers get these special permissions to have a driver’s license or to have a learner’s permit. A learner’s permit allows a driver as young as 14 or 15 to drive as long as there is an adult in the front seat of the car with them. In other words, it gives individuals the ability to train young people to drive. To be eligible for the driver’s license, one has to attend a driving course. That driving course goes on for a number of weeks. It requires both time in class, teaching the drivers the rules of the road to keep all parties safe, and actual driving in traffic. In addition to that, the parents and the child have to log a number of hours to be eligible to get the certificate that will allow them to take the class. However, even with these safety precautions in place, teens still get into accidents regularly. For this reason, it can be significant to have a professional McKinney teen driving accident lawyer on one’s side.
