Juvenile Law-Drivers' License
Teenagers are all interested in acquiring a drivers’ license. Many of them operate under the misperception that they have a right to a drivers’ license. No one has a right to a driver’s license. The possession of a driver’s license is a privilege. It can be taken away from any holder by the state based upon infractions. In the case of juveniles, most states impose more stringent requirements in terms of taking a driver education course and operating under the supervision of an adult driver for a period of time before that person can actually get a drivers license. Once the driver’s license is issued, there is typically a probationary-type period in which the license can be taken away from that juvenile for any serious infraction. In that regard, juveniles are treated somewhat differently than adults.
