The laws were last changed in 2007. So whatever is stated in your current Driver's Handbook is still valid.
To refresh your memory, here is what the Ohio BMV website states:
Ohio’s GDL Law states that all temporary permit holders between
the ages of 15½ and 18 must receive a minimum of 24 hours of
classroom instruction and eight hours of behind-the-wheel instruction
in driver training.
In addition, they must complete 50 hours of driving with a parent
or legal guardian, including at least 10 hours of nighttime driving.
Parents or guardians must verify the hours in writing, under penalty of
falsification.
In order to be eligible for a probationary license, a temporary
permit holder must complete the driver training requirements
noted above and:
• The driver must be at least 16 years old and must have held a
temporary permit for at least six months.
• The driver must also successfully complete the Ohio driving and
maneuverability tests prior to issuance of a probationary license.
• 16-year-old license holders are prohibited from operating a motor
vehicle between midnight and 6 a.m., unless accompanied by
a parent or guardian, with the following exceptions: The license
holder is driving to or from work (must have in immediate
possession written documentation from the employer), to or from
a school activity, or in an emergency situation.
• Licensed drivers who are 17 years old are restricted from driving
between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., unless accompanied by a
parent or guardian, with the same exceptions as above.
• License holders who are 16 years old shall not operate a motor
vehicle with more than one person who is not a family member
occupying the vehicle unless accompanied by a parent, guardian
or legal custodian.
• The number of vehicle occupants is limited to the total number
of originally installed safety belts. All occupants must be wearing
safety belts when the vehicle is being driven by a probationary
license holder.
• The probationary license is valid until age 18. |
