What is the driving age in Virginia?

My twins are getting to that age where they’re ready to start driving! Well… I think they are, at least. At what age can you start driving in Virginia?

Getting one kid ready to drive can be a big undertaking—let alone twins! Luckily, it sounds like you have the right demeanor to tackle the task.
The driving age in
Virginia
is 15.5 to get a
learner’s permit
. Driving with a permit requires supervision from a licensed spouse, parent, or guardian age 18 or older.
Once your twins turn 16 years and 3 months, they may apply for a full driver’s license. Meanwhile, residents who are 18 or older can skip the learner’s permit step and apply directly for a graduated license.
Don’t forget to discuss the importance of
car insurance
