Sallisaw Oklahoma Online Driver Education and Sallisaw Oklahoma Licensing Procedures

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

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

Either way, once you’re ready, head on down to your local Sallisaw 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 Sallisaw Oklahoma driver manual as a study guide. If you pass, then breathe a sigh of relief: you’ve just earned your Sallisaw Oklahoma Learner’s Permit!

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

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

The Sallisaw Oklahoma Intermediate Driver License and Sallisaw Oklahoma Full Driver License

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

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

Sallisaw Oklahoma Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

You still have just a little father to go to earn your full Sallisaw Oklahoma driver's license. Until then, there are a few restrictions for your Sallisaw 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 Sallisaw Oklahoma traffic convictions to apply for Sallisaw 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 Sallisaw Oklahoma Intermediate License for at least 6 months), you can finally apply for your Sallisaw Oklahoma Unrestricted License. Then, all restrictions are removed. Freedom!

Sallisaw Oklahoma Drunk Driving Laws

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

Upon your first conviction of an Sallisaw 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
• Sallisaw Oklahoma License Suspension 30 days
• Assessment and Evaluation for Treatment Program

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

Sallisaw Oklahoma Auto Insurance Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you finally get your coveted Sallisaw Oklahoma Learner’s Permit or Sallisaw Oklahoma Provisional driver’s license, you’re ready to drive--or so you may think. Because accidents happen to even experienced drivers, Sallisaw 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 Sallisaw Oklahoma mandatory liability insurance, your Sallisaw Oklahoma license could be suspended.

Sallisaw 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, Sallisaw Oklahoma teen drivers are not prohibited from using cell phones while driving.

Sallisaw Oklahoma Online Driver Education

Sallisaw Oklahoma teen drivers are required to take an Sallisaw Oklahoma approved driver education course. You can find more information at the official Sallisaw Oklahoma Department of Public Safety website.
