Price UtahOnline Driver Education and Price UtahLicensing Procedures
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Price UtahLearner’s Permit or first Price Utahdriver’s license. Price Utahhas a Graduated Driver License Program for Price Utahteen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Price Utahdriver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.
The Price UtahLearner Permit or Price UtahInstruction Permit
When you turn 15, you can finally apply for a Price UtahLearner Permit, otherwise known as a Price UtahInstruction Permit. In order to apply, you’ll need:
- Valid identification documents
- Social Security card or SSN proof (W-2 form, for example)
- Price UtahResidency Verification
- Proof of Driving Experience
- Nonrefundable fee of $15
Once you’re ready, head on down to your local Price UtahDriver License Office with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a medical and eye exam, as well as a written exam. If you survive, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Price UtahLearner Permit. Remember, you must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21. Of course, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your Price UtahLearner Permit with you at all times.
Once you’ve held your Price UtahLearner Permit for 6 months have met a few more requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Price UtahGraduated License Program, the Price UtahMinor License.
The Price UtahMinor License or Price UtahIntermediate License
You can apply for your Price UtahMinor License once you’ve held your Price UtahLearner Permit for 6 months and are at least 16 years of age. However, you’ll also need to make sure you meet these requirements:
- Hold a Price UtahLearner Permit for 6 months
- Be at least 16 years of age
- Complete a Price Utahapproved driving education course
- Practice driving for 40 hours with a parent/guardian, or supervising driver
- At least 10 hours must be at night (and must be signed!)
Then, make an appointment and head on down to your local Price UtahDriver License Office. Be sure to bring the valid identification documents, including your Price UtahLearner Permit. Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Price Utahroad test! If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Price UtahMinor License, otherwise known as the Price UtahProvisional License. However, you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
Price UtahTeen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
There are still a few restrictions you’ll have to keep in mind now that you have your Price UtahMinor License:
- All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts
- If you’re 16, no passengers under 21 for 6 months or until you reach 18 years of age
- The exception is if your passengers are family members
- No driving between midnight and 5AM unless you’re going to/from your job, a school sanctioned activity, for a medical emergency, or on assignment for a farmer or rancher
Once you turn 18, these restrictions will no longer be valid. Freedom!
Price UtahAuto Insurance Financial Responsibility Laws
Once you receive your Price UtahProvisional Driver license, you’re ready to drive--or are you? Not quite yet, because Price Utahdrivers are required by law to be covered by liability insurance. The minimum liability insurance coverage is:
- $25,000 bodily injury for one person
- $50,000 bodily injury two or more people
