If you are at least 15 years old but have not yet obtained your Learner Permit, you may only drive at this stage while receiving instruction from, and accompanied by, a certified driver education instructor. Parents do not qualify as a certified driver education instructor during the pre-permit stage. After enrolling in a Service Oklahoma approved Driver Education course, including parent-taught, passing the Oklahoma written test, and receiving your Learner Permit, you may drive under learner Permit restrictions, which includes driving with a licensed driver over the age of 21.
