Does the state still consider me a teen driver after I turn 18?

New Driver Checklist

No. You’re only a teen driver until you hit that magic adult number, 18. Then teens are considered minors no longer; you have all the responsibilities of adulthood upon you.

This also means any restrictions imposed on your drivers license, such as driving only during certain hours or not driving teens, are lifted. 

Don’t get ahead of yourself. If you haven’t yet taken a classroom drivers education program, or a driver ed online program, then passed the written test, you’ll need to do so before doing any driving. The best way to prepare for the written test is to practice your newfound road rules knowledge. And practicing requires one or two things: either long study of the drivers manual, or taking a practice test or several.

Some state DMVs provide practice tests for no charge. If yours does not, or you don’t like the one the state gave you (some require you to score it yourself) you can pay for practice tests online. These give you immediate scoring and cover a wide range of material straight from the manual. The practice test also helps you retain the information you just read, so you can remember it for the test.
