I'm going to be turning 18 in about a year. I've noticed that to get your license you hold a permit for nine months. Do I need my parents consent to get the permit? (that way I can get my license when I turn 18)
Also what are the limitations of the permit. I know I had to have driver over 18 accompany me while driving when I had my regular driving permit, is it the same for a motorcycle permit?

What would be the best way for me to go about getting my drivers license for a motorcycle as soon as possible if my parents aren't willing to assist in any way possible?

Thanks,

Joe
