While most teens look forward to driving much as adults look forward to vacation, they have to learn the rules and regulations before they can get behind the wheel of a car. Teen drivers are either responsible for or involved in almost a third of all automobile accidents each year, and many result in either serious injury or death for at least one teen involved. Mandatory driver’s education is helping to decrease this statistic drastically.

The state of Utah has mandated that a graduated licensing program is in order to help aid in the reduction of the number of teen driving accidents. In addition, teens must complete a state-approved driver’s education course in order to receive a driver’s license. You must also log 40 hours of supervised driving with a licensed adult (10 hours must be completed at night).

An acceptable driver’s education course will include 18 hours of in-classroom instruction, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training, and 6 hours of observing someone else drive. You must be at least 15 years and six months before you can apply for a learner’s permit. While you have your learner’s permit, you must drive with a licensed parent, guardian, or spouse in the front passenger seat at all times, but may have other passengers in the vehicle.
