A: In Ohio, if you have a learner's permit, you can drive to school and work, but you must follow specific restrictions. You need to be accompanied by a licensed adult who is at least 21 years old, seated in the front passenger seat, at all times while driving. This applies to all driving situations, including going to school or work.

It's important to follow these rules to avoid any legal trouble or accidents. Driving without a licensed adult while holding a permit can result in penalties, including fines or the suspension of your permit.

Make sure to always carry your permit while driving and be aware of the restrictions until you obtain your full driver's license. Following these guidelines will help you stay safe and on the right side of the law.
