older.
(a) A Class D temporary instruction permit may be issued to a person age 18 years or older. A temporary permit shall entitle the
applicant to drive during a 12-month period only when the applicant is accompanied by a licensed operator over the age of 21 who is
actually occupying a seat beside the driver and there are no more than 2 other persons in the vehicle.
(b) If for any reason the applicant fails to pass the required examination during the 12-month period granted by the permit, the permit
shall be void, and the fee paid therefor shall be forfeited.
(c) The applicant must successfully pass a written examination before being issued a temporary instruction permit, and pass a practical
road skills examination before being issued a Class D operator's license. Eye screening and medical examinations will be administered
in accordance with Division policies.
(d) It is unlawful for the holder of a Class D temporary instruction permit to operate a motor vehicle when the applicant is not
accompanied by a licensed operator over the age of 21 years who is seated beside the driver or if there are more than 2 other persons
in the vehicle. Failure to comply with subsection (a) of this section restrictions constitutes operating a motor vehicle without a license
under § 2701(a) of this title.
(e) Applicants who are receiving special education services under an active Individualized Education Program may waive the provisions
of this section and obtain a Class D operator's license if the person meets the requirements of § 2710(d) of this title.
(f) An applicant is not required to pay a fee required by this section if the applicant is a child in the custody of the Department of
Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families or meets the requirements under § 9011A(g) of Title 29.
