I'm 18, I want my drivers license, do I need to do this?

First, since you are over 18 it's likely that you won't have to take any formal cles. Yes, you must have a learner's permit to operate any motorized vehicle. No, you don't have to have the learner's permit for the full 9 months, but you must be able to p the tests (written and driving).
