Not sure what state they're referring to, but it's a requirement in every place I know of.
The general process when you're 15-16 typically includes:
- A number of Driver's ed classes that typically end with behind the wheel training
- Learners permit granted that only allows you to drive with an adult (21+) in the car.
- Drive without incident for a certain period of time
- Pass a written test
- Pass a full road course
- Full license granted
- pc86 10y agoI went to HS in rural PA in 00-04 and the only "drivers ed" we got was one class a week for a month or two where we just went over the DMV handbook. No practical training or testing, it was expected that your parents taught you how to actually drive.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI'm originally from Indiana. All that is actually required is that you hold a learner's permit for a set time and pass the driving and written test. To actually learn to drive, you just gotta have an adult in the car. In theory, this is to teach you how to drive. Outside of that, there are a few restrictions on the license after you start driving, mostly on passengers from what I can remember. Some folks do take drivers ed, which is usually offered at the high school after school or during the summer. When folks do this, they can get their learners permit at a younger age. It is quite common in the rural areas for kids to learn to drive tractors when they are 13/14 or younger.
