After that, then you can get your regular lisence without taking a road test, but the fact remains that you have to take one to drive with a "permit"...think about it...that would mean that Joe 16 year old could get his permit, and drive to school by him self the very next day...not safe. I can't think of the punishment for driving with a permit offhand, but if you want, I can dig out my permit book from a year ago, that I think has the NYS point system, and various punishments. I'm pretty sure that it's in there.

Okay, I spoke with the lawyer (free counsalnt *spelling*) and he said maximum $100.00 fine and up to 50 days suspension for my permit. he wasn't so sure, so.. thanks anyways.
