What would happen if i got caught driving without my permit?

Ok so my parents have been letting me drive on some gravel roads "Which only the sheriff has a right to patrol"while im in the car with them.. im wonder what would happen if i got caught. I live in Arkansas and im 15 the state trooper only shows up maybe once every two months... if i had to go to court for driving without it could i use that as a excuse. keep in mind... my parents are in the car while im driving and i live in Arkansas.. and its on less traveled county roads
