Title: could use a bit of help
Post by: Nikolai on September 03, 2011, 10:39:14 PM
Got my permit on January 5, 2011. Will I be able to apply for it on sept 6th or oct 5th? I have no idea if january counts as 1 month. In my head I believe sept 6th will be the day because it exceeds 9 months. 9 months and one day.(I must have a permit for a min of 9 months before applying for a license.) <---- been bothering me for a while now. If its oct 5th please explain to me in full detail why it would be oct 5th.

september i would say. got my permit in october '09 and i was eligble for my license test april '10. 6 months to the day. thats MA law, so i would say 9 months to the day you should be good to go for your license.

I don't really know anything about Illinois' laws, never lived there. Try calling DMV, they should be able to answer all your questions.

They should, but will they?

Or don't call, better yet- Look in your State's Driver's Handbook!
I was licensed at 16. 1976. Back then you could get Permit at 15,
take a Driver's Ed class for 30 bucks. You had to have Permit for 3 months.
Believe me, the thrill of driving will wear off, and get old.
Especially when you have to do it for a living (drove Tractor/Trailer for several yrs.)

You don't get a 1 month credit for the day you got your permit ... so it is not until Feb 5th that a full month has past.

Jan 5 - 0
Feb 5 - 1
Mar 5 - 2
Apr 5 - 3
May 5 - 4
Jun 5 - 5
Jul 5 - 6
Aug 5 - 7
Sep 5 - 8
Oct 5 - 9

Why does january get blown off?
Title: Re: could use a bit of help
Post by: RTR on September 04, 2011, 09:28:21 AM
January doesn't get blown off, and you are not eligible until October, which will be nine months.

January 5th to February 5th = 1
Feb 5th to March 5th = 2
Mar to Apr= 3
Apr to May=4
May to Jun=5
Jun to jul=6
Jul to aug= 7
Aug to sept=8
Sept to Oct =9

You must complete a full 9 months. So you must complete the month of September to make the nine months, which puts your date into October.

Drive Safe!

cheers,

Idk it said for a min of 9 months not a min of 9 FULL months. Thats why I think it will be sept 6th when I can apply for a license. Ill just call the dmv and  sort things out after school on Tuesday.<----made topic because the dmv was closed and didnt want to wait to call them to get an answer.

If the law said you had to have your permit for 1 month when would you be eligible?

Using your logic you'd be able to get it the next day.

October is the correct answer.
