Here is everything you need to know.
Rigby Idaho Instructional Permit or Rigby Idaho Learner Permit
When you turn 15, you can finally apply for an Rigby Idaho learner's permit, otherwise known as an Rigby Idaho supervised instruction permit. You must carry your Rigby Idaho learner's permit at all times and be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21, and this person must sit in the front passenger seat. In order to apply for your Rigby Idaho learner's permit, you'll need to keep the following things in mind:
- You must be at least 15 years old
- Your parent or guardian needs to sign a liability form
- At the Rigby Idaho DMV, you must provide proper identification
- You must be enrolled in a State of Rigby Idaho approved Driver Training Program
- And don't forget your proof of residential address
Go to your local Rigby Idaho DMV with all the required forms and take the required tests. Pass the tests, and your Rigby Idaho supervised learner's permit will be your reward. And after you've had your Rigby Idaho learner's permit for 6 months (with regular study and practice, of course), you're now ready to apply for your Rigby Idaho driver's license!
Your First Rigby Idaho Driver's License or Rigby Idaho Provisional License
You've now gained enough driving experience to qualify for an Rigby Idaho provisional driver's license. In order to apply, you'll need:
- A Rigby Idaho learner's license
- At least 10 hours must consist of night driving
- No traffic violations within the past 6 months
- Complete at least 30 hours of classroom instruction
- You must have 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving with a driver training instructor
At the Rigby Idaho DMV, you'll present your Rigby Idaho learner's license and the required personal information. Then comes the written test (you should be studying using the Rigby Idaho driver's manual) and the dreaded road test! If you make it this far, congratulate yourself: you've just earned your Rigby Idaho provisional driver license! Once you turn 17 and have held your Rigby Idaho provisional without any traffic violations, you will earn your Rigby Idaho full license, with full driving privileges. But until then, there are still a few restrictions you'll want to be aware of.

Upon your second violation of an Rigby Idaho traffic violation, your Rigby Idaho license will be suspended for 1 month. All subsequent violations will result in a 2 month suspension. The good news is that once you turn 17, all of these restrictions are removed! Just try to be on your best behavior until then.
Rigby Idaho Auto Insurance Rigby Idaho Financial Responsibility Laws
Unfortunately, traffic accidents can happen to even the most experienced driver. Despite your confidence in your driving skills, your vehicle must still be covered by Rigby Idaho liability insurance. The minimum coverage is:
- $25,000 for personal injury
- $50,000 per person
- $15,000 for property damage.
If you are convicted of driving without Rigby Idaho mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined. And, if you're involved in an accident and cannot provide proof of insurance, your Rigby Idaho learner's permit or Rigby Idaho provisional license could be suspended.
Rigby Idaho Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws
As a new Rigby Idaho driver, it's important for you to learn the Rigby Idaho drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws.
Rigby Idaho takes drunk driving and underage drinking very seriously, and our state's DUI laws for teens are stricter than many other states. Any driver under 21 with a blood alcohol content of .02 or higher will have their Rigby Idaho driver's license suspended for 1 year and will face a fine of up to $1,000. If you're convicted of violating Rigby Idaho's alcohol/age laws even when you're NOT driving, you could lose your Rigby Idaho learner's license or Rigby Idaho provisional license.
Upon your first conviction of a Rigby Idaho DUI (0.08), you will face the following penalties:
- Jail sentence of 48 hours to 5 days
- Up to a $1000 fine
- Your Rigby Idaho Learner's Permit or Rigby Idaho Provisional license will be suspended for 90 days
- Possible substance abuse or alcohol evaluation and treatment program
And of course, further Rigby Idaho DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Rigby Idaho license suspension or even Rigby Idaho license revocation.
Currently, Rigby Idaho does not have a cell phone or text messaging law. That doesn't mean, however, that constant cell phone use while behind the wheel is a good idea. Don't allow anything to distract you from your driving.
