Your 16th birthday is a big event! In many ways it marks passage into early adulthood. The state of Minnesota recognizes this by granting you the adult privilege of holding a driver's license. Along with that privilege comes the adult responsibility to be a competent driver. As a typical 15 year old, you will probably soon be attempting to earn the privilege and responsibility of holding a driver's license. Minnesota requires that you do the following to earn a license.
● Satisfactorily complete 30 hours of driver education classroom instruction.
● Pass a written driver's permit test.
● Satisfactorily complete behind the wheel instruction.
● Pass a road test (must be 16 years old)
In addition, Minnesota requires that instruction be taken through an accredited program. District #578 provides a driver education program for classroom and behind the wheel instruction. This program is accredited by, and all the instructors are licensed by, the Minnesota Department of Education. The driver education curriculum stresses attitudes, habits, knowledge and skills. Every effort is made to provide quality instruction in a convenient manner.
