A: You could call a "Driver Evaluator" at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for a definitive answer. My recollection is that a person driving with a Minnesota learner's permit is legal to drive only with a licensed driver 18 years older or older. Since a person with a "limited license" (work permit) is a licensed driver, the person driving on a learner's permit should be o.k.when driving with a licensed adult. There could be a practical problem since the limited license only allows driving between work and home and only within limited days and hours of the day.
