Indiana gives teen drivers a choice about when to begin the licensing process. With approved driver education, you can obtain a learner's permit at 15 instead of waiting until 16, and you can qualify for a probationary driver's license at 16 after meeting the other requirements. Without driver education, the minimum age for a probationary license is 16 years and 270 days.
Indiana driver education consists of 30 hours of classroom or theoretical instruction and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with a BMV-licensed driver training school. Online instruction can satisfy the classroom portion, but you still need to complete the required in-car training.
The classroom portion of Indiana driver education requires 30 hours of theoretical instruction. Indiana BMV permits online training as an alternative to traditional classroom instruction, but you remain responsible for completing the separate behind-the-wheel requirement.
Teendrivingcourse.com offers an online Indiana driver education course that provides approximately 30 hours of instruction. The course can be started and stopped as needed, allowing you to return later and continue your coursework.
After completing the course, Teendrivingcourse.com provides a certificate of completion.
The online classroom course does not replace the required in-car instruction. Indiana requires 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training through a BMV-licensed driver training school.
Before choosing a school, confirm that the BMV-licensed provider accepts the online classroom program you completed. Indiana BMV specifically recommends confirming acceptance with your selected driver training school.
Completing both portions of driver education is important. Indiana BMV states that completing only the 30-hour online portion is not enough to qualify for the earlier licensing age.
If you are at least 15 and enrolled in an approved behind-the-wheel training course, you can apply for an Indiana learner's permit. You must provide a valid Certificate of Driver Education showing that you are enrolled in behind-the-wheel training.
At the BMV, you must provide the required identification documents, pass a vision screening, and pass the knowledge examination.
The Indiana knowledge exam is based on the Indiana Driver's Manual and covers traffic maneuvers and traffic signs. You must achieve at least 80% on each portion to pass.
Your learner's permit does not allow you to drive without supervision. If you are under 18, you may practice with a licensed driver who is at least 25 and related to you by blood, marriage, or legal status. A licensed spouse who is at least 21 may also supervise you. A licensed driving instructor or qualifying driver rehabilitation specialist may also supervise you.
Indiana requires new drivers 18 or younger to complete 50 hours of supervised driving practice, including at least 10 hours at night. You must record the practice in the Log of Supervised Driving and submit the completed log when you apply for your driver's license.
You must also hold your learner's permit for at least 180 days before obtaining a probationary driver's license.
The supervised driving requirement remains in place even when you complete driver education. Indiana BMV specifically states that completing driver education does not eliminate the 50-hour driving log.
With approved driver education, you can qualify for an Indiana probationary driver's license at 16 years old after holding your learner's permit for at least 180 days and completing the applicable driver education and supervised driving requirements.
Without driver education, the minimum age is 16 years and 270 days. Driver education therefore allows eligible teens to reach the probationary-license stage earlier.
When you apply for your probationary license, you must provide your signed Log of Supervised Driving and proof of successful completion of driver education when applicable. You must also pass the vision screening and driving skills test unless your driver education provider participates in the BMV's driving skills test waiver program and you qualify for the waiver.
If you take the knowledge exam at the BMV and fail, you must wait until the next business day before taking it again. If you fail a driving skills exam, Indiana requires a seven-day waiting period before another attempt.
Your Indiana probationary license comes with restrictions designed for new drivers.
For the first 180 days after receiving your probationary license, you generally cannot carry passengers unless you are accompanied in the front seat by a licensed instructor, a licensed driver at least 25 years old, or a qualifying spouse who is at least 21. Certain immediate family members, including siblings, step-siblings, children, step-children, and a spouse, are exceptions to the passenger restriction.
For the first 180 days, you generally cannot drive between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. After that period and until you turn 18, additional nighttime restrictions apply, including limits on late-night and early-morning driving. Exceptions include certain trips involving work, school-sanctioned activities, or religious events, as well as driving with a qualifying adult in the front seat.
Indiana prohibits probationary drivers from using a telecommunications device while driving, except for making an emergency 911 call. This restriction applies even when the device would otherwise be used hands-free.
Indiana drivers must meet the state's financial responsibility requirements. The minimum liability coverage generally used to satisfy Indiana's requirements is:
Make sure the vehicle you use for driving practice and testing meets the applicable insurance requirements.
An online classroom option lets you complete the theoretical portion of driver education without attending a traditional classroom. Indiana BMV recognizes online training as an alternative to classroom instruction, while still requiring the separate 6-hour behind-the-wheel component.
Teendrivingcourse.com's Indiana course provides approximately 30 hours of online instruction. The course can be started and stopped, and the site states that students can complete the coursework using a computer with internet access.
Teendrivingcourse.com also offers a certificate of completion after the course is completed. Certificate delivery options shown on its Indiana pages include regular mail and expedited shipping options.
Before enrolling, verify that your selected BMV-licensed behind-the-wheel school accepts the online course you plan to complete. Indiana BMV specifically advises students to confirm this with their chosen driver training school.
The Indiana knowledge examination tests your understanding of Indiana traffic laws, safe-driving practices, traffic maneuvers, and traffic signs. The exam is based on the Indiana Driver's Manual.
You must achieve at least 80% on each section to pass. If you do not pass, Indiana BMV requires you to wait until the next business day before taking the knowledge exam again.
Review the current Indiana Driver's Manual as you prepare, and make sure you understand the state's signs, traffic rules, and safe-driving requirements before visiting the BMV.
