No more skipping driver's ed at 18 in Virginia

Getting your first driver's license in Virginia is about to get a little more complicated — at least if you're between 18 and 20. Why it matters: A new state law is closing a loophole that allowed young adults to skip driver's ed simply by waiting until 18 to get licensed. State of play: Starting Jan. 1, first-time drivers ages 18 to 20 must complete driver's ed and hold a learner's permit for at least 90 days. Currently, they can choose between taking a driver's ed course and holding a permit for 60 days. The new rules apply even to those who already have permits, though time already spent holding one counts toward the new requirement. Rules for drivers under 18 and ages 21+ aren't changing. Zoom in: Lawmakers passed the new requirements this spring amid concerns about inexperienced young drivers. The legislation had support from a Virginia mother whose 16-year-old son was killed in a 2019 crash involving an unlicensed teen driver. She called the existing rules "a dangerous loophole," WTVR reported . A 2022 study of more than 136,000 young drivers found those first licensed at 18 had the highest first-year crash rates — and held learner's permits
