About the Nebraska permit test
The basics, in plain English, from the Nebraska Driver's Manual.
Permits from 14
A School Learner's Permit is possible at 14 for teens working toward a School Permit; the regular Learner's Permit starts at 15, and you can apply up to 60 days before your 15th birthday. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 2–3)
A supervisor 21 or older
On a learner's permit you practice only with a licensed driver aged 21 or older sitting in the seat next to you. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 2–4)
50 hours or a safety course
Before the School Permit or the POP you either finish a DMV-approved driver safety course or log 50 practice hours, at least 10 of them between sunset and sunrise. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 3–4)
POP limits at 16
The Provisional Operator's Permit lets you drive alone from 6 a.m. to midnight; after midnight only to or from work or a school activity, and for six months at most one non-family passenger under 19. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 4)
No phones on a teen permit
Permit and POP holders may not use any interactive wireless device while the car is moving, and everyone in the car, the driver included, must be buckled up. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 1)
Zero tolerance under 21
Drivers under 21 break the law at a blood alcohol level of .02%. For everyone else the limit is .08%, and .04% in a commercial vehicle. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 24)
Nebraska permit test FAQ
What happens if I fail a Nebraska DMV test?
You can't take a failed test again on the same day. After three drive tests failed in a row, you must first finish a DMV-approved driver training course or hold a Learner's Permit for 90 days. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 12)
How old do I have to be for a Nebraska learner's permit?
15 for the Learner's Permit (LPD); you may apply 60 days ahead, but it's issued on or after your birthday. A School Learner's Permit (LPE) is possible from 14 if you qualify for a School Permit. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 2–3)
Who qualifies for a Nebraska School Permit?
Teens who live, or go to school, outside a city of 5,000 or more. From 14 years and 2 months, after two months on an LPE or LPD, it lets you drive alone to and from school by the most direct route, or anywhere with a licensed driver 21 or older. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 2–3)
When can I get a Nebraska POP?
At 16 (you may apply 60 days early), after holding a permit for six months with fewer than three points in that time, plus either a DMV-approved driver safety course or a signed 50-hour form with at least 10 hours at night. (Nebraska Driver's Manual, p. 4)
