As of January 2007, teens are required to take a driver's education course and document a minimum of 40 hours driving time, with six of those hours being driven at night, before they apply for their Class D license.
On January 1, 2007, Joshua's Law went into effect. This law states that a teen applying for a Class D license must have completed an approved driver's education course and 40 hours of drive time.
High School Courses
Georgia high schools offer a state-approved driver training course, but you can also get training at private driving schools statewide.
These courses offer 30 hours of classroom time and six hours of behind-the-wheel training. The experience offered during this training is invaluable for young drivers.
School Attendance
All Georgia teens who wish to drive must stay enrolled in school until graduation or until they reach the age of 18. If a student drops out or is suspended or expelled from school, his driver's license will be suspended for one year, or until the student is 18 years old―whichever comes first.
When applying for your learner's permit or driver's license, you will need to provide a completed Certificate of Attendance, signed by a school official, before your license will be issued.
Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program (ADAP)
Georgia requires all drivers under the age of 18 to successfully pass the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program offered during the ninth grade in most Georgia schools. It is also offered in various locations throughout the year if you missed the course at school.
When you pass the course, you will be given a card to present to the driver's license office when you apply for your Class D license.
