Driving Permit Vs License

Summary

In Michigan, a driving permit is not the same as a drivers license. A permit allows for practice driving under certain conditions, while a license allows for independent driving. If you have only had a learners permit and never a full drivers license, you generally cannot be charged with driving while license suspended. However, you could face charges for driving without a valid license. Consider consulting a local attorney for more information on potential penalties or steps to obtain a full drivers license.

Hey ****! In Michigan, a driving permit is not the same as a driver's license. A driving permit, often called a learner's permit, allows you to practice driving under certain conditions, such as being accompanied by a licensed adult. A driver's license, on the other hand, allows you to drive independently.
