Superior Colorado Online Driver Education and Superior Colorado Licensing Procedures

The process of learning to drive can be a challenging one, and our job is to try to make it as simple for you as possible. The State of Superior Colorado congratulates you on starting the process of applying for your Superior Colorado learner's permit or first Superior Colorado driver license!

Superior Colorado has a graduated driver license program for Superior Colorado drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that you don't hit any snags while applying for your Superior Colorado driver's license. So, here we go!

Superior Colorado Learner Permit or Superior Colorado Driver Education Permit

The function of a Superior Colorado learner's permit is simple: to enable you to practice driving provided you have someone 21 years or older in the seat next to you as you learn.

You can apply for a Superior Colorado instructional permit, otherwise known as a Superior Colorado learner's permit, when you're 15 or 16. To be eligible at 15, you'll need to enroll in a Superior Colorado state-approved driver education program. At 15 and a half, you can apply for your Superior Colorado instructional permit if  you complete a four hour driver awareness course. If you don't want to bother with these classes, then you'll have to wait until you turn 16 to apply for a Superior Colorado instructional permit.

There are some things you should know about applying for your permit:

• When applying, you must fill out form DR2460, available on the Superior Colorado DMV website
• No matter what age, you'll need the necessary identification to apply
• A Superior Colorado learner's permit is valid for 3 years
• After passing a vision test and written test with a score of 80% or higher, you will be rewarded with a Superior Colorado learner's permit!

Superior Colorado Teen Provisional License or Superior Colorado Driver Awareness Permit

Once you turn 18 or have had your Superior Colorado learner's permit at least six months (whichever comes first), you are ready to apply for your Superior Colorado Driver Awareness Permit, the next-highest class of driver's license. In order to apply for your Superior Colorado Driver Awareness Permit, you'll need:

• a 30 hour classroom study course (classroom or online)
• an approved Superior Colorado driver education course lasting at least 6 hours.
• a total of 50 hours driving time (20 hours completed with a parent or guardian)
• At least 10 of those hours must be completed at night

A list of approved Superior Colorado driver education courses can be found here. However, if you are not able to find a Superior Colorado approved school offering at least 20 hours within 30 miles of your residence, then you may substitute 12 additional hours of driving instruction with a parent or guardian.

Before you can apply for your Superior Colorado provisional driver license, you must also completely fill out the necessary forms and complete a 4 hour Superior Colorado approved driver awareness program. Keep in mind that you must hold this Superior Colorado Driver Aware license for 12 months before applying for your state of Superior Colorado driver license.

After you've scheduled your Superior Colorado road test, bring the required fee to your local Superior Colorado DMV. You must provide your own car for the test. During the test, you will have to make right and left turns, signal properly, use marked and unmarked traffic lanes, back up, make a quick stop, park, and adequately perform a three-point turn. Before the test, your car will be inspected by an examiner to make sure it is in safe operating condition with the required equipment.

Superior Colorado Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

As a new driver, your safety and that of others is our top priority. There are several restrictions on both Superior Colorado learner's permits and Superior Colorado driver awareness permits we need to make you aware of. Keep in mind that if you are convicted of violating any of the following rules, you may receive points on your Superior Colorado driver's license or even face license suspension.

First of all, any driver under 18 is not allowed to drive between 12AM and 5 AM unless you are:

• an emancipated minor
• accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or person over 21 who has at least 1 year of driving experience
• driving because of an emergency
• going to or from your workplace, a school sponsored or religious event.

Also, Superior Colorado drivers under 18 can't ride with any passenger under 21 for six months after receiving their Superior Colorado license. After a year of driving experience, you can drive with more than one passenger under 21 or more than one passenger sitting up front at any time. And of course, everyone must wear seatbelts at all times.

Superior Colorado Auto Insurance Superior Colorado Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you receive your Superior Colorado drivers license, we know you'll be anxious to get on the road. But there's one more important detail: insurance.  Any vehicle registered in Superior Colorado must be covered by liability insurance. If you are found to be driving without Superior Colorado mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined a substantial amount or receive points on your Superior Colorado driving record (which in turn can make your insurance more costly). If you are involved in an accident and cannot provide proof of insurance, your Superior Colorado learner's permit or Superior Colorado provisional license could be suspend.

The minimum coverage is $25,000 for personal injury and $50,000 for total injury, and $15,000 for property damage.  For more information, see the State of Superior Colorado website on insurance requirements.

• Imprisonment from 5 days to 1 year
• A fine of $600 to $1000
