New Hampshire does not issue Learner's Permits. NH law is that the driver must be at least 15 1/2 years of age and accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 25. You can then get a license at 16.

But, if everybody was on TV all the time, there wouldn't be anybody left to watch, and that's where I get confused.
