driving minor age
Age you have to be to drive with a disabled parent
<p>I was in a car accident 9 years ago. My spine was fused twice and I know I am permanently disabled. I have 2 kids, one is 12 years old and another is 14.</p>
<p>Can the oldest child get an early driver's license? If so, what age can he do so?</p>

<p>Possibly, depends on the state. <a href="https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/transportation-code/transp-sect-521-223/" rel="noreferrer">Texas law</a> allows early drivers licenses under this circumstance, though there is an age requirement (15 years). California allows such a license for 14 years olds. OTOH, Washington state does not have such hardship exceptions to the general age rule. Also, in various states (e.g. <a href="https://doa.alaska.gov/dmv/akol/permit.htm" rel="noreferrer">Alaska</a>), a person 14 years old can obtain a learner's permit, which would allow them to do the driving is there is a licensed driver at least 21 years old with at least one year of driving experience in the passenger's seat.</p>
