Teen Driving Rules: In response to the disproportionate number of serious and fatal accidents involving teenagers, Washington State recently changed and strengthened restrictions on obtaining a new driver's license. We hope the following information will help parents and their teens better understand the process. Driver's Permit: If a teen is enrolled in a Driver's Education course, they can obtain their Driver's Permit at the age of 15. If not enrolled, they must wait until age 15 1/2, and pass the written test, to get the permit. Intermediate Driver's License: Intermediate Driver's Licenses are only issued to teens ages 16 to 18. The teen must have a driver's permit for six months and: Complete 50 hours of supervised driving time with a parent or driver who has at least five years of driving experience. At least 10 of the 50 supervised hours must take place at night. Have a clean driving record for at least six months Pass a Driver's Education Course Pass the written and driving test (or just the driving test if the written test was passed to get the Driver's Permit. Restrictions: For the first year, no driving between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent, guardian or licensed driver at least 25 years old; For the first six months, no passengers under age 20, except for family members; More: http://www.ferndalepd.org/teenrules.html Mar 21 07, 3:15 PM
