  Dear sylvia12-ga; Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. As you alluded to, Massachusetts recognizes a learner?s permit from all other states except Montana, Washington State and British Columbia. Even so one must covert the out-of-state ?junior operator license? (as it is called in Massachusetts) to a Massachusetts permit before one can take the road test. FAQs About Learner?s Permits & Junior Operator Licenses Q & A Index http://www.mass.gov/rmv/jol/21336_web.pdf As for the others you asked about, believe it or not I actually found pertinent information regarding all fifty states learner permit laws here (in Illinois, of all places): ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE DRIVER EDUCATION ASSOCIATION http://www.ihscdea.org/permits.htm MAINE: A person with a valid learner?s permit issued by his/her home state can legally drive in Maine provided that person is at least 16 years of age and adheres to all restrictions applied to the learner?s permit issued by that person?s state or province. VERMONT: Will ?NOT? accept any out of state learner?s permit. RHODE ISLAND: Will accept any valid learner?s permit subject to restriction mandated by the issuing state provided that issuing state accepts their state permit. (Reciprocity) NEW YORK: New York will recognize another state?s learner?s permit subject to the restrictions printed on it and the New York State restrictions for junior driver licenses under 18. A person with a valid out-of-state license for the vehicle being driven may accompany a junior driver. You may not drive in New York state if you are under 16, even if you are licensed in another state. An out of state learner?s permit is ?NOT? valid in New York City. In all areas of the state except New York City, Nassau or Suffolk counties, a non-resident licensee under 18 years of age may operate a vehicle from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. when accompanied by a licensed driver over 18 years of age. He may operate a motor vehicle between the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. only when accompanied by a licensed parent or guardian. I hope you find that my answer exceeds your expectations.
