Hey! I'm almost 17 and i just got my learners permit (a little late) in the state of NY. I live on the boarder of NY and CT and my family always drives to CT for everything (taking the backroads into CT without taking any major highways or parkways)
My mom and I were researching wether im allowed to drive in CT or not. I searched on Google and it was like someone from MA asking if they can drive in CT, not what im looking for haha!
Do any of you know wether its legal if i drive in CT or not?
Thank youuu<3

Seriously, if your not driving like a maniac you wont get pulled over. Check the Connecticut Learners Permit Laws on permit restrictions because they are the ones pulling you over. I am pretty sure it's up to CT(but don't take that to my grave =P). Ask a local DMV, cop, anyone who knows the law.
In most cases, if you're of legal age to get a permit in that state, you can drive in that state with a parent. Incidentally, New York has a restriction on using out-of state permits, but Connecticut didn't mention anything of the sort. If you're not sure, ask a local cop. I'm serious. Telling you to call the RMV and ask someone about the law is like telling you to watch paint dry with a blindfold on. It's simply not possible.
Usually, if you're driving with a PARENT (not just someone who's licensed) you can drive anywhere you're old enough to. And if you avoid speeding and erratic driving, you probably won't get pulled over at all ;] I do know that some states are really strict, so I'd be sure of the law before you start driving.
