Exceptions - Minors License Restrictions

The law allows the following exceptions when reasonable transportation is not available, and it is necessary for you to drive. A signed note must be kept in your possession for the following exceptions, which explains the necessity to drive and the date when this driving necessity will end (emancipated minors are excluded from this requirement):

• Medical necessity to drive when reasonable transportation alternatives are inadequate. The note must be signed by a physician with the diagnosis and probable date of recovery.
•    Schooling or school-authorized activity. The note must be signed by the school principal, dean, or designee.

•    Employment necessity and the need to operate a vehicle as part of your employment. The note must be signed by the employer verifying employment.

•    The necessity to drive an immediate family member. A physician's note and a note signed by your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) is required, stating the reason and probable end date of the necessity to drive the immediate family member.

EXCEPTION: These requirements do not apply to an emancipated minor. You must have declared yourself emancipated and provided DMV with Proof of Financial Responsibility (SR1P) in lieu of your parent(s) or guarantor(s) signature(s).
