    Study Notes

    Nevada Graduated Driver's License Program

    • The program is designed for teenagers aged 15 1/2 to 18, to introduce driving privileges in phases, including supervised driving before a full license.
    • The program aims to reduce motor vehicle accidents, which are the leading cause of death for people aged 16 and 17.

    Why is a GDL Program necessary?

    • Teen drivers are twice as likely to be involved in a fatal traffic accident compared to adults.
    • 16-year-old drivers are approximately 3 times more likely to be involved in a traffic accident than 17-year-old drivers and 5 times more likely to be in an accident than 18-year-olds.
    • The program addresses the immaturity and inexperience of teen drivers, which are the main causes of accidents.

    Driver Education

    • The State of Nevada requires teen drivers under 18 to complete a 30-hour driver education course before applying for a full license.
    • Options for completing the educational requirements include:
      • Attending a 30-hour classroom course
      • Completing a 30-hour online course
      • Completing 100 hours of driving experience (only if a classroom course is not available within a 30-mile radius)
    • The driver education course or experience is not required to obtain a Nevada instruction permit but is a requirement to obtain a Nevada driver license.

    Instruction Permit

    • At age 15 ½, Nevada teens are eligible to obtain an Instruction Permit.
    • The permit allows teen drivers to drive on Nevada public roadways under the supervision of an adult aged 21 or older with at least one year of licensed driving experience.
    • The supervising adult must be seated in the front of the vehicle and next to the teen driver at all times during the supervised driving period.

    Vision Test

    • A vision test is required to obtain a Nevada Instruction Permit.
    • The minimum level of acceptable vision is 20/40 in one eye.
    • If a driver must wear glasses or contact lenses to meet this standard, Restriction A will be placed on the license or permit.
