Do I need to take driver's ed to get my license?
Find answers to your legal question.





Do I need to take driver's ed to get my license?

I'm in a dispute with my mom. She says I need to take driver's ed to get my driver's license, but I thought that you would be able to get your license at a younger age if you took driver's ed. Well, who is right, or does it vary state by state?

If your state has adopted the Graduated Driver's License, and you get more privileges in stages as you get older until you reach 18 to get your unrestricted license, & you want your license before you turn 18, then Driver's Ed is a mandatory requirement. If you want to wait until 18 to get your license, then you can skip D.E. So actually BOTH of you are right.

Also, as others have stated, most insurance companies will give the policy holder a discount if their newly licensed teen has had some type of formal drivers training prior to getting their license.

Can vary by state however your mom may be insisting you get driver's ed because her insurance will be more reasonable. Insurance for a teen is too high anyhow and unless you take driver's ed she may not be able to afford having you on her insurance. So, to answer your question, she may need you to take driver's ed to get your license.

You don't need, it , but you will get your license a few months quicker.
you're insurance will be lower, but its not a discount like some believe, so not by very much.

Also , sometimes getting drivers ed isn't the best. my drivers ed teacher taught me nothing , and never took me out. so do some research on which driving school you pick too.

The laws vary by state. But, some insurance companies will give a better rate for new drivers if they have taken a drivers education course.

If you take drivers ed, you will be able to get your license sooner and your insurance will be lower.

but no, you dont need it to get your license.

You win!
