This video right here is about a great program for the Ohio teen driver that has driven down Ohio teen driver car insurance rates and made the road safer for those who haven’t been long on the road. The graduated licensing program has been adopted in several states, and it places restrictions on the licenses of each Ohio teen driver for the first few years that they have them. Instead of allowing teens the immediate and unfettered freedom of the road, this leaves much less room for mistakes.

Here is a break down of the Ohio teen driver graduated licensing program.

  • You start off with a temporary permit.

This would be what in most states is called the learner’s permit, and it can be gotten when the Ohio teen driver turns fifteen and a half. Whenever the Ohio teen driver drives with this license, they have to have a parent or a guardian who is also licensed with them. After they are sixteen, but before they get the next license up, the restrictions loosen to allow any licensed passenger over twenty one and sober to sit in for the parent or guardian. Unless they have a parent or guardian with them, they can’t drive between midnight and 6 a.m., even after they turn sixteen, and there can’t be more people in the car than there are seat belts.

  • Then you get a probationary license.

This license is received by the Ohio teen driver when he or she is between the age of sixteen and seventeen. Like with the former permit, the Ohio teen driver with a probationary license can’t driver between midnight and six a.m. There are a few cases when this is allowed, though, such as for emergencies, when the student is going to school or something sponsored by the school, or when the Ohio teen driver is going to or returning from work.

For passengers, only one person that is not related to the Ohio teen driver can accompany them, unless the parent or guardian is with them.

Once the driver turns seventeen, they will be eligible for fewer restrictions, although the type of license will be the same. The restricted hour area becomes smaller, with the period being between one and five a.m., and the same exceptions as above applying.
