An Idaho teen is convicted of a traffic violation four months into the supervised instruction period. What happens?
- A The teen gets a warning letter and keeps the time already driven
- B The permit is canceled and a new 6-month period starts with a new permit
- C Only the remaining two months are extended by 30 days
- D The teen must retake only the knowledge test before continuing
Show answer
B. The permit is canceled and a new 6-month period starts with a new permit
The supervised instruction period must be violation-free. A conviction cancels the permit, and the teen must reapply; the minimum 6 months of supervised driving starts over when the new permit is issued.
