Step 4: Students Have Their Class D Permit Now What?

Once they have their permit: 

• Have them drive as much as they can with a sober adult who is 21 or older. 

• Start them off in parking lots and residential areas. 

• They may be scared to start, so go slow with them, then have them gradually work their way up. 

• The more they practice the better off they are. 

• The first 25 hours of driving will be rough but they'll get there with your guidance. Please be patient with them and get them as many hours to prepare them to drive on their own. 

• They need to log their hours, at least 50 before their road test but shoot for 100 if possible!!! 

• Students must log their hours by using a log sheet Click Here or can log them by downloading an app called "Road Ready.”
