wow, that sounds even a bit more stiff than the cali laws they instituted a month before I was licensed. here's the way it works here:
at 15.5 you can get a learning permit, by going through drivers education classes, then passing a multiple choice test administered by the DMV. (that's Department of Motor Vehicles)
at 16, you can test for your drivers license. that's a behind-the-wheel test, usually takes about 20-30 minutes. not too traumatic. You're awarded your license at that time, with restrictions.
* no passengers under 21 yrs old
* no driving after 12, before 5

Exceptions on the passenger rule are made. For example, I was allowed to drive my sister places, to the babysitters and back, and to soccer practice and back.

Cops are not allowed to pull you over JUST because you look too young to be carrying passengers, but if you are, and have some and they pull you over for something else, it just get's tacked on. one more thing to get in trouble for.

After a year, your license rolls over to a normal license. at that time you can pay to have yours replaced early so it doesn't say "RESTRICTED" on it, or just wait till you have to renew.

For the original poster: suck it up, man, life goes on. at least you're licensed and rollin'.
