What is the duration of a Mississippi learner's permit?

The duration of a Mississippi learner's permit is set at 12 months. This means that individuals holding a learner's permit can practice driving under certain restrictions for a full year before they are eligible to apply for a regular driver's license. This period allows new drivers to gain the necessary experience and skills while being supervised by a licensed adult. The 12-month duration is designed to ensure adequate time for practice, reinforcing good driving habits and safety awareness, which are crucial for becoming a responsible driver.
