Don't forget one of the highest licensing fees. I don't know of any states that charge more than our $115. And that's after the class, which is anywhere between $50-75.

Texas is $140 for a 5 year license, plus the initial class runs $100-125 from a private instructor. Plenty of grumbling about that in Texas.

No kidding. Maine is the only state between them and having recognition in every state that recognizes out of state permits.

I figured that Wisconsin would start recognizing our permits since their permit law went into effect just over two months ago, but I didn't realize that Washington State now recognizes our permits. As of September 10, when I had my permit class, they didn't (or, at least, the reciprocity map that my instructor handed out still had Wisconsin and Washington State colored red, meaning no recognition). Wow, so that means our permit is honored in 80 percent of the states (Tennessee and 39 others). Are there any states that are honored in all of them (except the 9 that don't honor any, of course)? That's so hard to believe that we have reciprocity with Nevada, Minnesota, and Washington (three of the five hardest states to earn reciprocity), but not in Maine, whose permit is no where near as strict as ours (among other things, Maine offers permits to 18 year olds and non-residents).

Come on Maine...start honoring our permits and put us at 41 states :banana:!

Michigan is recognized in every state that will recognize out of state permits. I do believe MI is the only one.
