When can I get my license?

bulletTo get a driver's license, you must be at least 16 years old and have had your permit for at least 6 months.  The applicant must also complete a minimum of 35 hours of driving, including 5 hours of night driving while accompanied by a parent, guardian, or licensed driver of at least 20 years old.  When you receive your permit from Drivers Edge, you will also receive a driving log, on which to record these hours.  This driving log will also be sent to the state when you are ready to get your road test.  Then a road test will be scheduled for you, and the date of the road test will be sent to you from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Does the driving school own all the driver education cars or do the instructors?

bulletAt Drivers Edge, we believe that the only cars used to teach driver education should be owned by the driving school, not the instructor.  We own all our vehicles, and we carry above state requirements for insurance.

bulletTime spent in the car is 10 hours, which includes each lesson for 1 hour with the parent or guardian.

I lost my driving log.  How can I get another one?
