Mississippi rules that catch people out

These come from questions learners find hardest. Each links to the page of the handbook it comes from.

• If you turn 17 before you have held the permit for a year, Mississippi lets you apply for a Regular License right away. Applicants 17 or older are not bound by the one-year holding period.

  Mississippi Driver's License Manual, page 13

• The one-year holding period runs from the day the permit is issued. A permit issued at 15 and a half means a Regular Driver's License at 16 and a half at the earliest.

• Mississippi gives credit for the months you held a valid out-of-state learner's permit toward the 12-month holding period. You need only complete the remaining months.

• Three reckless driving convictions within a twelve-month period require a one-year license revocation. Reckless driving is treated as a pattern of danger, not a one-time mistake.

• Reinstatement after a DUI, implied consent or controlled substances suspension costs $175. Child-support suspensions cost $25 to reinstate and all others cost $100.

  Mississippi Driver's License Manual, page 81

• An at-fault driver who was uninsured must buy minimum liability coverage from a Mississippi-licensed insurer and file proof of it. That proof must stay in effect for three years from the date of the accident.

• The Natchez Trace Parkway is run by the National Park Service and patrolled by Park Rangers. Federal regulations and state traffic laws both apply, and violations there are tried in federal court.

  Mississippi Driver's License Manual, page 90

• A first Zero Tolerance DUI brings a $250 fine and a 120-day license suspension. Penalties climb to one year for a second offense and two years (or until age 21) for a third.
