The director may, in his discretion, issue to a person over 17 years of age an examination permit, under the hand and seal of the director, allowing such person, for the purpose of fitting himself to become a licensed driver, to operate a designated class of motor vehicles other than passenger automobiles and motorcycles of persons licensed to operate motorcycles only for a specified period of not more than 90 days, while in the company and under the supervision of a driver licensed to operate such designated class of motor vehicles.
The director, in his discretion, may issue for a specified period of not less than one year a passenger automobile or motorcycle-only examination permit to a person over 17 years of age regardless of whether a person has completed a course of behind-the-wheel automobile driving education pursuant to section 1 of P.L. 1950. An examination permit applicant who is under 18 years of age shall obtain the signature of a parent or guardian for submission to the division on a form prescribed by the director. The director shall postpone for six months the driving privileges of any person who submits a fraudulent signature for a parent or guardian.
Each permit shall be sufficient license for the person to operate such designated class of motor vehicles in this State during the period specified, while in the company of and under the control of a driver licensed by this State to operate such designated class of motor vehicles, or, in the case of a commercial driver license permit, while in the company of and under the control of a holder of a valid commercial driver license permit, while in the company of and under the control of a holder of a valid commercial driver license for the appropriate license class and with the appropriate endorsements issued by this or any other state. Such person, as well as the licensed driver, except for a motor vehicle examiner administering a driving skills test, shall be held accountable for all violations of this subtitle committed by such person while in the presence of the licensed driver. In addition to requiring an applicant for an examination permit to submit satisfactory proof of identity and age, the director also shall require the applicant to provide as a condition for obtaining the permit, satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law. If the director has reasonable cause to suspect that any document presented by an applicant as proof of identity, age or legal residency is altered, false or otherwise invalid, the director shall refuse to grant the permit until such time as the document may be verified by the issuing agency to the director's satisfaction. The specified period for which a permit is issued may be extended for not more than an additional 60 days, without payment of added fee, upon application made by the holder thereof, where the holder has applied to take the examination for a driver's license prior to the expiration of the original period for which the permit was issued and the director was unable to schedule an examination during said period.
