As someone who grew up in NYS but hasn&#x27;t lived there in a while, that&#x27;s a huge change; it used to be there was a special driver&#x27;s ed that would let you drive between 9pm-9am, or somesuch (assuming it was not to&#x2F;from school or a job) when 17, but back when I went through that process you could get at least that partial license at 16.
