Ava's answer
Nebraska requires a Learner's Permit at age 15 with vision/written test, then a Provisional Operator's Permit for teens, then a full Class O license at 17+.
- Learner's Permit (LPD): Minimum age 15; pass vision and written test; must be accompanied by licensed driver 21+
- Provisional Operator's Permit (POP): Intermediate step for teens with driving restrictions
- Holding Period: Teens holding POP 12 months with fewer than 3 points may have written/drive test waived for Class O
- Drive/Skills Test: Required for Class O license unless waived
- Class O License Issued: Minimum age 17
