There is also the option to have the test read to you through the computer. You must have your permit for at least six months and in that six months drive with someone who is 21 or older who has been licensed for a minimum of 3 years. You must complete 50 hours of supervised, documented, driving practice, including 10 hours at night, and have a clean driving record for 90 days before moving to step two.To get a provisional license, a teen must be at least 15 years and 6 months old and have completed Stage one. You must present a ‘Certificate of Completion’ that shows the applicant achieved a passing score from a Driver Education School that includes a 3-hour DWI component and pay the $18 fee.
