According the NYS DMV if you have a learner permit, junior learner permit or junior license you may drive outside of New York State if allowable by the other state laws.

Connecticut's DMV notes that the state allows one to drive with an out of state learner's permit if they are at least 16 years old and adhere to the same restrictions as their home state placed on their permit. The person must also be under the instruction of person who has held a driver's license for at least 4 years.

We would advise you to check with the CT Department of Motor Vehicles to verify you can drive in Connecticut and see if there are any other restrictions or conditions you will need to follow when operating a vehicle in their state.

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) told us a while ago that with a valid learner’s permit or license from another state one may legally drive in New Jersey as long as you are driving a vehicle that is titled, registered, inspected, and insured in your home state. The out of state permit holder will be subject to the laws of his home state while driving in NJ.

Since state laws are amended constantly, especially considering graduated licensing programs, we would advise you to check with the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to see what restrictions and conditions you will need to follow while operating a vehicle in New Jersey. So contact the NJ MVC to find out exactly what restrictions or conditions you will have to adhere to while in New Jersey, those of your home state of NY, those of NJ or both.
