Drivers Training
This fully narrated supplemental drivers ed program will help will provide first-time drivers a comprehensive understanding of rules of the road, state laws, driving techniques and much more. Although this course does not satisfy your Missouri drivers education requirements, this course is a great way for a first-time driver to get prepared for their upcoming learner's permit test.
This course includes six hours of full driver ed training giving the student a full multimedia learning experience. The student will have access to eight of the premier driver education videos and, finally, the student will test his or her knowledge with three permit practice tests. Once completed, the student will be ready to pass his or her test with flying colors.
If you've been dreaming about your first road trip for the past few years, don't forget that driving is great responsibility. To earn full driving privileges, you'll have to fulfill Missouri's requirements for teen drivers. This graduated licensing system requires that you pass a series of tests to demonstrate that you have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to drive safely.
Behind-the-Wheel Instruction
As a Missouri teen with an instruction permit, before you can receive your intermediate license, you will need to complete 40 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction―10 of those hours at night. The person providing the instruction must sign a verification form before you can receive an intermediate license.
This instruction can be provided by your parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or certified driver training instructor. Driver training programs are also available through local schools and private instructors.
Essential Skills for Teen Drivers
The following are some of the basic vehicle control skills that you should master before receiving full driving privileges:
- Parking
- Turning
- Passing
- Steering
- Defensive driving
- Adjusting to traffic
In addition to the skills mentioned above, a teen also needs to know how to operate a motor vehicle under adverse weather conditions and how to share the road with motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, and pedestrians. Driver training programs are available through local schools and/or private instructors.
Maintaining a Safe Driving Record
Missouri's graduated licensing system requires that teen drivers maintain clean driving records in order to earn full driving privileges. You can be denied an intermediate license if you have traffic violations or alcohol-related convictions. In addition, if your intermediate license is suspended you may not apply for the under-21 full driver's license.
Parent/Guardian Refusal of Driving Privileges
According to Missouri law, your parent or legal guardian may request that the Missouri Department of Revenue’s Driver Licensing Division deny your driving privileges if he or she believes you are unable to operate a motor vehicle safely. Once in place, the denial request remains until you turn 18 or it is withdrawn by your parent or legal guardian.
