The road test comes after the instruction permit has been held six months or the applicant has turned 18, whichever lands first.

Passing does not remove every restriction right away. For the first six months after the Class G license is issued, state law still bars driving between midnight and 5am and limits the new driver to one passenger under 18, unless a parent, guardian, or someone 21 or older rides along, with narrow exceptions.
