Bartlesville Oklahoma Online Driver Education and Bartlesville Oklahoma Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit or first Bartlesville Oklahoma driver’s license. Bartlesville Oklahoma has a Graduated Driver License Program for Bartlesville Oklahoma teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Bartlesville Oklahoma driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.

The Bartlesville Oklahoma Instructional Permit or Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit

When you turn 15, you can practice driving with a certified driving instructor--and you don’t even have to have a license! But when you’re 15 and a half, you can finally apply for an Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit. With this license, you can begin practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21. Once you turn 16, you can practice driving with any licensed driver who is at least 21.

Also, you’ll have to be currently enrolled in an Bartlesville Oklahoma approved driver education class (see the note at the end of this guide). If you don’t want to take an Bartlesville Oklahoma approved driver education course, you’ll have to wait until you’re 16 before applying for your Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit.

Either way, once you’re ready, head on down to your local Bartlesville Oklahoma Driver License Exam Station with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Remember to bring the proper identification. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test, as well as written exam. You can use the Bartlesville Oklahoma driver manual as a study guide. If you pass, then breathe a sigh of relief: you’ve just earned your Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit!

Remember, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and don't forget to carry your Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit with you at all times.

Once you’ve held your Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit for 6 months and have met a few more requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Bartlesville Oklahoma Graduated License Program, the Bartlesville Oklahoma Intermediate License.

The Bartlesville Oklahoma Intermediate Driver License and Bartlesville Oklahoma Full Driver License

You can apply for your Bartlesville Oklahoma Probationary Driver License once you’ve held your Bartlesville Oklahoma Temporary Instruction Permit for 6 months and have met these several requirements:

• You've held your Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit for at least 6 months
• You've completed 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving
• 10 hours of driving practice must be during night hours
• Practice must be done with a licensed driver who is at least 21 and licensed for at least 2 years
• A record of your driving hours must be kept and certified

If you’ve completed these requirements, then head on down to your local Bartlesville Oklahoma Driver License Exam Station. Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Bartlesville Oklahoma road skills test! If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Bartlesville Oklahoma Intermediate License. However you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you’ve held your Bartlesville Oklahoma Intermediate License for at least 6 months. Let’s learn about the restrictions.

Bartlesville Oklahoma Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

You still have just a little father to go to earn your full Bartlesville Oklahoma driver's license. Until then, there are a few restrictions for your Bartlesville Oklahoma Intermediate License, depending on your age:

• You may not drive between 10PM and 5AM unless:
1. Going to/from a school activity, church, or work (unless accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21)
2. Must drive without Bartlesville Oklahoma traffic convictions to apply for Bartlesville Oklahoma Unrestricted License
3. Only 1 passenger is allowed in your car who is not family

However, once you turn 18 or have had your Bartlesville Oklahoma Intermediate License for at least 6 months), you can finally apply for your Bartlesville Oklahoma Unrestricted License. Then, all restrictions are removed. Freedom!

Bartlesville Oklahoma Drunk Driving Laws

As an Bartlesville Oklahoma teen driver, there's no bigger threat you'll face than drunk drivers. It’s important for you to learn the Bartlesville Oklahoma drunk driving laws (and obey them religiously). Like most states, Bartlesville Oklahoma has a Zero Tolerance Law for underage drinking, and if you are convicted of an Bartlesville Oklahoma DUI or Bartlesville Oklahoma DWI, you face additional penalties to those listed below.

Upon your first conviction of an Bartlesville Oklahoma DUI, you’ll face the following penalties:

• Jail from 10 days to 1 year (up to 4 years with child under 18 in vehicle)
• Fine up to $1,000
• DUI Fees $300 minimum
• Double DUI fine if child under 18 in vehicle
• Bartlesville Oklahoma License Suspension 30 days
• Assessment and Evaluation for Treatment Program

And of course, further Bartlesville Oklahoma DWI and DUI convictions will result in more severe penalties, up to and including jail time, Bartlesville Oklahoma license suspension or even Bartlesville Oklahoma license revocation. As you can see, it's something we take very seriously - don't do it!

Bartlesville Oklahoma Auto Insurance Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you finally get your coveted Bartlesville Oklahoma Learner’s Permit or Bartlesville Oklahoma Provisional driver’s license, you’re ready to drive--or so you may think. Because accidents happen to even experienced drivers, Bartlesville Oklahoma drivers are required by law to be covered by liability insurance. The minimum liability insurance coverage is:

• $25,000 bodily injury for one person
• $50,000 bodily injury two or more people
• $25,000 for property damage per accident

If you are in an accident and found to be driving without Bartlesville Oklahoma mandatory liability insurance, your Bartlesville Oklahoma license could be suspended.

Bartlesville Oklahoma Cell Phone Laws

We acknowledge how important it is for young people to stay in touch with friends, but studies show that cell phone use, especially text messaging, contributes to accidents. Currently, Bartlesville Oklahoma teen drivers are not prohibited from using cell phones while driving.
