If you have to pay 50 restoration fee for learners permit because of grades do you have to start your 12 months over?

Yes, if you have to pay a restoration fee for your learner's permit due to failing to meet grade requirements, you typically need to start your 12-month period over. This is because the restoration fee indicates that your permit privileges were affected, and resetting the time frame is often a requirement to ensure compliance with the educational standards set by the issuing authority. Always check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for specific regulations and procedures.
