Hi there, I'm 17 and a half years old and live in California. I was wondering if there was any fast way for me to be able to receive my license at this age. What I'm mostly trying to say is, what's the process I need to go through to get my drivers license at 17.5 years old. I have heard from my friends that you can already apply for your drivers license at 17.5 years old. I have heard a lot of mixes storied but I want facts. If it helps I turn 18 in may of 2012.
