Teen driver education

The 6-hour class comes first. Your teen learns what the road signs and signals mean, who has to wait at a stop or a light, and that a driver cannot drink and then drive. Driving and watching come after the learner permit. A complete package adds the road test later, and each card adds up the hours you drive with the instructor. The learner permit and the 30 hours with a parent are separate.
