The term 'LEARNER's PERMIT' refers to a document issued by a government agency that allows a person to begin learning how to drive a motor vehicle. It is usually issued to teenagers who are just starting to learn how to drive, and it is typically valid for a certain period of time. The PERMIT allows the holder to practice driving under the supervision of an adult who has a valid driver's license. In some jurisdictions, the PERMIT may also be required in order to take a driver's education course.
