Early Drivers License Issued For Child With Disabled Parents
<p>I am 16 years old,<br>
I got my drivers permit February 3rd, 2017 and my 6 months ends August 3rd, 2017,<br>
I live in South Carolina, United States.</p>

<p><strong>Question:</strong><br>
My father says I can get my drivers license early (before August 3rd) because he is legally disabled. He states this because he thinks there is a law that if I pass the driving test even though i'm in the 6 months of the drivers permit so I can drive him around. I could wait until August 3rd but my brother and his wife are coming to South Carolina to visit for the summer (next week) and I would love to surprise them with me getting my driver's license.<br>
What my father is stating about me being able to get my drivers license early, is it true? I am too young to know much about the law (or care to study it). So I am here asking for your knowledge.  </p>

<p>As described by <a href="https://www.dmv.com/sc/south-carolina/learners-permit" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the private, independent website DMV.com</a>, on its page for South Carolina driving license, both the provisional and the special restricted driving license require that applicants aged between 15 and 16 or between 16 and 17, respectively,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>must have held a beginner's driving permit for at least 180 days. The following requirements must also be fulfilled:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Complete a driver's ed course.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Have satisfactory school attendance.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Accumulate at least 30 hours of daytime driving and at least 10 hours of nighttime driving experience.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>There is no exception noted for a person to skip the 180 days requirement on the basis of providing transport for a disabled family member.</p>
