Cottonwood Idaho Online Driver Education and Cottonwood Idaho Licensing Procedures

We are delighted that you have chosen to begin the process of applying for your Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit or first Cottonwood Idaho driver license. Cottonwood Idaho has a Graduated Driver License Program for Cottonwood Idaho teen drivers, and there are a few things we want you to know in order to make sure that you don't hit any snags while applying for your Cottonwood Idaho driving license. Here is everything you need to know.

Cottonwood Idaho Instructional Permit or Cottonwood Idaho Learner Permit

When you turn 15, you can finally apply for an Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit, otherwise known as an Cottonwood Idaho supervised instruction permit. You must carry your Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit at all times and be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21, and this person must sit in the front passenger seat. In order to apply for your Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit, you'll need to keep the following things in mind:

• You must be at least 15 years old
• Your parent or guardian needs to sign a liability form
• At the Cottonwood Idaho DMV, you must provide proper identification
• You must be enrolled in a State of Cottonwood Idaho approved Driver Training Program
• And don't forget your proof of residential address

Go to your local Cottonwood Idaho DMV with all the required forms and take the required tests. Pass the tests, and your Cottonwood Idaho supervised learner's permit will be your reward. And after you've had your Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit for 6 months (with regular study and practice, of course), you're now ready to apply for your Cottonwood Idaho driver's license!

Your First Cottonwood Idaho Driver's License or Cottonwood Idaho Provisional License

You've now gained enough driving experience to qualify for an Cottonwood Idaho provisional driver's license. In order to apply, you'll need:

• A Cottonwood Idaho learner's license
• At least 10 hours must consist of night driving
• No traffic violations within the past 6 months
• Complete at least 30 hours of classroom instruction
• You must have 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving with a driver training instructor

At the Cottonwood Idaho DMV, you'll present your Cottonwood Idaho learner's license and the required personal information. Then comes the written test (you should be studying using the Cottonwood Idaho driver's manual) and the dreaded road test! If you make it this far, congratulate yourself: you've just earned your Cottonwood Idaho provisional driver license! Once you turn 17 and have held your Cottonwood Idaho provisional without any traffic violations, you will earn your Cottonwood Idaho full license, with full driving privileges. But until then, there are still a few restrictions you'll want to be aware of.

Cottonwood Idaho Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

The aim of the Graduated License Program is to give newer drivers the opportunity to safely hone their driving skills before graduating to full driving privileges. Until you have earned your Cottonwood Idaho full license, there are several restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your Cottonwood Idaho learner's license or Cottonwood Idaho driver's license.

Restrictions on Cottonwood Idaho Learner's Permit : You must always be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 and in the front passenger seat. In addition:

• Always keep your Cottonwood Idaho provisional license on hand
• All passengers must wear seat belts
• Observe all of the alcohol and intoxicating substance laws

Restrictions on Cottonwood Idaho Provisional License: Always have your Cottonwood Idaho provisional license on hand. In addition:

• All occupants must wear seat belts
• Observe all of the alcohol and intoxicating substance laws
• Also, no driving between 11PM and 5AM unless you're accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21

For your first violation of the above Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit and Cottonwood Idaho provisional license restrictions, you will be issued a warning letter. Upon your second violation of an Cottonwood Idaho traffic violation, your Cottonwood Idaho license will be suspended for 1 month. All subsequent violations will result in a 2 month suspension. The good news is that once you turn 17, all of these restrictions are removed! Just try to be on your best behavior until then.

Cottonwood Idaho Auto Insurance Cottonwood Idaho Financial Responsibility Laws

Unfortunately, traffic accidents can happen to even the most experienced driver. Despite your confidence in your driving skills, your vehicle must still be covered by Cottonwood Idaho liability insurance. The minimum coverage is:

• $25,000 for personal injury
• $50,000 per person
• $15,000 for property damage.

If you are convicted of driving without Cottonwood Idaho mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined. And, if you're involved in an accident and cannot provide proof of insurance, your Cottonwood Idaho learner's permit or Cottonwood Idaho provisional license could be suspended.

Cottonwood Idaho Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As a new Cottonwood Idaho driver, it's important for you to learn the Cottonwood Idaho drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws.

Cottonwood Idaho takes drunk driving and underage drinking very seriously, and our state's DUI laws for teens are stricter than many other states. Any driver under 21 with a blood alcohol content of .02 or higher will have their Cottonwood Idaho driver's license suspended for 1 year and will face a fine of up to $1,000. If you're convicted of violating Cottonwood Idaho's alcohol/age laws even when you're NOT driving, you could lose your Cottonwood Idaho learner's license or Cottonwood Idaho provisional license.

Upon your first conviction of a Cottonwood Idaho DUI (0.08), you will face the following penalties:

• Jail sentence of 48 hours to 5 days
• Up to a $1000 fine
• Your Cottonwood Idaho Learner's Permit or Cottonwood Idaho Provisional license will be suspended for 90 days
• Possible substance abuse or alcohol evaluation and treatment program

And of course, further Cottonwood Idaho DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Cottonwood Idaho license suspension or even Cottonwood Idaho license revocation.

Currently, Cottonwood Idaho does not have a cell phone or text messaging law. That doesn't mean, however, that constant cell phone use while behind the wheel is a good idea. Don't allow anything to distract you from your driving.
