Persons who fail the written test when applying for a learner's permit or a driver's license shall not be eligible for retesting for at least 15 days. In addition, any person under the age of 18 must hold his learner's permit for a minimum period of six months, or until he reaches age 18, before he may obtain a driver's license.
