Hi. I am interested in learning how to drive. I should have learned years ago but for a long time I had a repressed phobia of driving. I did try to learn once - a family friend tried to teach me how to drive but the old man wasn't a good teacher.

I have a learner's permit that expired that I never used. I was told I should get a new one. I'm saving up money for driving lessons and to take the road test so I can get my license. Is it necessary to get a new learner's permit before I get a driver's license? The thing about having a learner's permit is that I have to have a vehicle and someone has to be in the vehicle with me to supervise me driving. I have neither a vehicle nor do I have someone who can supervise me driving.

Please help. Thank you.

@JGoldman10,

1) Check with your state. Info on this is undoubtedly online. But I suspect you'll need a learner's permit everywhere in the US.
2) Driving lessons will get you the practice you need with someone in the car with you, but of course you'll have to pay for that.
3) If you're having problems coming up with the $$ for driving lessons, then consider how you're going to pay for auto insurance.

@jespah,

I'll call my nearest DMV office and ask if it's necessary to get another learner's permit.
