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

Virginia's distracted-driving crackdown is coming to DC-area commuters

For many Washington DC-area residents, driving into Virginia is part of the daily routine. But crossing the Potomac also means following Virginia's rules for cellphone use behind the wheel. Virginia is reminding drivers of those restrictions through a new statewide distracted-driving campaign, while a recently enacted law adds another restriction on how motorists can use their phones behind the wheel. The restrictions cover everything from handheld calls and texting to newer rules targeting livestreaming behind the wheel. What should DC-area drivers know about Virginia's distracted-driving rules? Virginia has prohibited drivers from holding cellphones or other wireless communication devices while driving since 2021. That means drivers cannot pick up their phones to read or send messages, scroll through social media or make handheld calls while operating a vehicle. Drivers can still make calls using hands-free technology. Navigation apps are also permitted as long as motorists don't holding their phones or manually enter information while driving. A newer restriction took effect July 1. Under House Bill 320, drivers cannot livestream while operating a moving vehicle. A first conviction carries a fine of up to $500, a second conviction results in a mandatory 30-day driver's license suspension and a third or subsequent conviction
