Q: Is it legal to be 18 with a drivers permit and drive alone (off highway)
I was wondering if its legal to drive alone at the age of 18 with a permit not a license off the highway. Do you still need someone 21+ with a license? When I googled it I read
"Colorado Learner's Permit Driving Restrictions. If you're under 18 years old, your driver's permit only allows you to drive while supervised by a licensed driver who is 21 years old or older. You supervisor can be: The signer of your Affidavit of Liability Guardianship (Form DR 2460)."
Does this mean as 18 one can drive by themselves with a permit?
A: If you have a learner's permit, you are required to have a 21 year old and licensed passenger. The change that you are referring to relates to the passenger/supervisor. Until you are 18, ONLY the party that signed the liability document when you got your license can ride with you (unless an additional DR 2460 is signed). After 18, ANY adult with a valid license and over 21 can ride with you. Note, a driver instructor is exempted from the DR 2460 requirement.
