Restrictions for operating with an instruction permit – Wisconsin
You must be accompanied by a driver with at least two years licensed driving experience who currently holds a valid regular (not probationary or occupational) license. The accompanying driver must occupy the passenger seat beside the applicant and is 19 or older, a parent, guardian or immediate family member, a person 21 or older provided you have written authorization from your parent or guardian prior to operating the car. If you are 16 you may have one additional licensed driver 25 years or more with 2 years experience in the car with you and If you operate a vehicle during hours of darkness, you must be accompanied by a qualified instructor or a licensed person 25 years of age with at least two years of licensed driving experience occupying the seat beside you.
Wyoming – Your First License
When you are 15 you may apply for a Wyoming Learner’s Permit which allows you to drive for a period of 1 year when accompanied by a driver who has been licensed for one year and is at least 18 years old. You need only hold your permit for 10 days before you are able to upgrade to a restricted driver’s license which must be approved by the Wyoming Highway Patrol. This license would allow you to drive between 5am and 8pm within a 50 mile range of your home at the direction of your parent or guardian. The reasons for approval would be:
you must drive to school and live more than 5 miles from the school.
Your regular job is more than five 5 miles from your school
You need your license to work in your parent’s business.
Any other circumstances which the Highway Patrol finds is an extreme inconvenience.
Wisconsin Drivers Education Requirements
The state of Wisconsin is one of several states with a mandatory driver’s education program. While most states have a driver’s education course that is optional, this state requires that a state-approved driver’s education course and teenagers must pass and complete this program before they can apply for a driver’s license. This course helps to ensure that young driver’s are more ready for driving and understand how to both drive carefully and with some measure of intelligence in order to avoid becoming another teen driving statistic.
Teen drivers must be at least 15 years and six months old before beginning driving instruction. At this time, if they have not completed driver’s education, they must show proof that enrollment in such a program has been achieved. The state of Wisconsin also participates in the graduated licensing program, so teens should be aware that their first driver’s license is a restricted one.
While you are taking your driver’s education course, you may only drive with a licensed driver aged 21 or older. You must complete 30 hours of behind-the-wheel training in addition to your driver’s education coursework. Driver’s education classes will include a three-week course encompassing thirty hours of in-class instruction and 12 hours of driving experience (6 behind the wheel and 6 observing). Online drivers education courses are available for extra study, but they are not a way to earn the required training in order to receive your learner’s permit.
