Driver's Education

car driving on road

Michigan's Driver Education curriculum is split into two segments and is required for all teen drivers under age 18.

Segment 1 driver education is offered before the driver begins supervised driving. It requires a minimum of 24 hours of classroom instruction (must attend all days, no exceptions including school events) and a minimum of six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. Before beginning Segment 1, a teen must be 14 years, 8 months of age and have parent/guardian permission. (Behind-the-wheel instruction may take place outside of regular class day/time for up to 3 weeks after the last day of scheduled class.)

Segment 2 driver education is offered after the driver has held a valid MI Graduated Level 1 Learner's License (from MI Secretary of State) for at least three continuous months and has acquired 30 hours of driving experience time including a minimum of two hours of night driving. Segment 2 requires a minimum of six hours of classroom instruction (must attend all days, no exceptions).
