§ 615. Unlicensed operators

(a)(1) An unlicensed person 15 years of age or older, may operate a motor vehicle, if he or she has in possession, a valid learner's permit issued to him or her by the commissioner and if their licensed parent or guardian, licensed or certified driver education instructor or licensed person at least 25 years of age rides beside him or her. Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit a person against whom a revocation or suspension of license is in force, or a person less than 15 years of age, or a person who has been refused a license by the commissioner, to operate a motor vehicle.

(2) A licensed person who does not possess a valid motorcycle endorsement may operate a motorcycle, with no passengers, only during daylight hours and then only if he or she has upon his or her person a valid motorcycle learner's permit issued to him or her by the commissioner.

(b) The commissioner, in his or her discretion, may recall a learner's permit in the same circumstances as he or she may recall a provisional license. (Amended 1961, No. 133; 1963, No. 139, eff. Aug. 1, 1963; 1983, No. 42, § 1; 1999, No. 140 (Adj. Sess.), § 5.)
