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 new distracted-driving crackdown: what a ticket may cost you

A new statewide safety campaign in Virginia is reminding motorists of the dangers of distracted driving, as the state's laws carry fines and other penalties for drivers who violate phone-use restrictions. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles launched its "Open Your Eyes" campaign Nov. 9, comparing looking at a phone while driving to operating a vehicle with your eyes closed. The campaign comes as state data shows there have been 11,953 crashes, 93 deaths and 816 serious injuries involving distracted drivers in Virginia so far this year. About 10% of distracted drivers in the preliminary 2026 data were distracted by cellphone use or texting, the DMV says. How much could a distracted-driving ticket cost you in Virginia? Virginia has prohibited drivers from holding phones while operating a moving vehicle since 2021. The restriction applies even when motorists are temporarily stopped in traffic. A violation carries a $125 fine for a first offense and $250 for a second or subsequent offense. Drivers caught violating the law in a highway work zone face a mandatory $250 fine. There are exceptions for drivers who are lawfully parked or stopped, those using a device to report an emergency and certain emergency vehicle operators. Virginia
