But since the permit tests are also on hold, anyone who turned 15 since March 14 can get a waiver on the year-and-a-day rule and get a license when they turn 16. According to the ancient writ of the Georgia Department of Driver's Services, teens need to hold a permit for a year and a day before applying for a full-fledged license. As an extension of that logic, if you're a Georgian who recently turned 15, they're going to let the permit-to-license rules slide a bit. The rationale for the relaxed road testing stems from social distancing-it's hard to get six feet away when you're strapped into the front seats of a Chevy Malibu. But you spun halfway around the 360-degree drift, so that's gonna be a fail, y'all. Although, now that's it's up to parents, a driving test certainly could include some new parameters, couldn't it? Fine, Junior, you adjusted your mirror and buckled your seatbelt. It's driving as rote memorization, quantifying test-taking aptitude rather than anything to do with car control or emergency reactions. Because, as Georgia is tacitly admitting, the driver's license road test is a joke. While this executive order seemingly falls under the oft used heading of " Georgia Did What Now?" the practical implications will likely be nil.
