i believe so, as long as you follow the regulations for your state, and your only going to be there for a period less than x amt of days ( i forget how many)

Unless Georgia is backwards about this.... As long as you have a person with a valid driver's license sitting beside you and is in the process of teaching you how to drive ....There shouldn't be any problem

Your learners permit is still legal out of state as long as you have a person older than 18 in the passanger seat with a valid license. I would just make a quick call to the police dept. (not 911, they're regular phone number) and ask to double check.

In NC it is illegal to go out of state with just a Permit, and the supervising driver has to have had their liscence for more than 5 years.

Here in Tennessee, the licensed driver has to be 21+, be an immediate family member, and be in the closest seat next to you.

As long as you follow the rules and regulations that are set in the state in which your permit was issued, you should be fine.

Good luck .

Besides this :

Class C: Instructional Permit
Applicant must be at least 15 years old and be able to pass the eye and knowledge test. When driving, there must be a licensed driver at least 21 years old in the front seat with him or her at all times. The permit is valid for 24 months.

15 ... ha, you all should see the structure for getting a licence in jersey. at 16 you can start a driver program, upon completion recieve a learners permit that allows daytime driving with someone 5 year experianced. then, when you turn 17, you can schedule an appointment to take driving test, and if you pass, yuou get a "learners licence" this allows you to drive with only 1 other person in the car (unless direct family members) and only during the daytime. i think that last for a year, then at 18, you can get a "real" licence. this new digital licence we have is also a whole nuther story, that requires 50million "points" of proof of who you are, social security card, birth certificate, etc. guess they didnt realize half the fakes came frmo someone i know who works at dmv and probably still sells them on the side few a few hundred to pay for her daughters college education.

In California you have to drive with someone age 25 or older with you permit, and when you get your license you can't drive anyone under 20 for the first six months or drive between midnight and 5 am.
