Not only this week but everyday!
It’s Teen Driver Safety Week, Minnesota! We know getting a driver’s license is a big milestone, but it’s important to know the rules before you hit the road:
• Nighttime driving: During the first six months with a provisional license, driving between midnight and 5 a.m. is restricted, with limited exceptions.
• Passenger limits: During the first six months, drivers may carry only one passenger under age 20 who is not an immediate family member. During the second six months, the limit increases to three.
• No phone use: Drivers with an instruction permit or provisional license cannot use a cell phone while driving, including hands-free devices, except in an emergency to call 911.
• Buckle up: Every driver and passenger must wear a seat belt.
• Parents and guardians: Help your teen understand the rules and build safe driving habits from the start.
