What is Joshua's Law?
​
Joshua's Law is a set of general guidelines that oversee the driving education policies that teenagers need to go through if they want to apply for a Class D driver's license. Figuring out Joshua's Law's history and what this means for driving students is necessary if you want to drive in the state of Georgia.
​
Driver's Education Requirements - As stated in the DDS Georgia Department of Driver Services 2020 Drivers manual
​
-
To obtain a Class D license at the age of 16 or 17 you must complete a driver education course approved by DDS. An approved driver education course consists of:
-
either 30 hours of classroom instruction OR completion of an equivalent online virtual course; AND
-
6 hours of on-the-road experience with a certified instructor OR completion of the DDS approved Parent-Teen Driving Guide;
-
-
You must also have completed a cumulative total of at least 40 hours of other driving experience, including at least 6 hours at night. An affidavit must be signed certifying that this requirement has been met.
​
NOTE
-
If the teen obtains the on-the-road component of driver’s education from a certified instructor, a separate document affirming that this requirement has been met must be completed at the time of the road test.
-
If you have not completed the driver education requirements, you cannot obtain a Class D license until you reach the age of 18.
