Joshua's Law: driver education and 40 hours
A free practice question for the Georgia permit test, with the answer explained.
Independent practice site. We're not the DDS and aren't connected to any government agency.
Under Joshua's Law, how many hours of practice driving must a teen log, and how many at night?
The rule
To get a Class D at 16 or 17, finish DDS-approved driver education (30 hours of class or an online course, plus 6 hours with a certified instructor or the Parent/Teen Driving Guide), log at least 40 hours of driving with 6 at night, and complete ADAP.
Besides driver education, a 16- or 17-year-old needs at least 40 hours of driving experience, including 6 hours at night.
From the Georgia Drivers' Manual, page 8. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DDS have the final word.
