Michigan Online Drivers Ed

Not with a course that's only online. The Michigan Department of State says online-only driver education courses can be a useful study aid, but they don't meet the instruction, testing, behind-the-wheel training, and supervised practice requirements needed to get a Michigan driver's license. Behind-the-wheel and observation time have to happen in a vehicle with a certified provider. Approved driver education comes from state-certified providers, so confirm a provider's certification and ask how it delivers its classroom portion before you enroll.

Yes, for teens under 18. Michigan's Graduated Driver Licensing system includes two segments of driver education, and teens who want to learn to drive must complete both. Driver education is offered through state-certified, independently owned businesses. If you're 18 or older, the SOS has a separate page for new drivers 18 and olderLicense Id New Drivers 18 Older Sos.

Michigan requires at least 30 hours of classroom instruction, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, and 4 hours of observation time, split into two segments. Segment 1 includes 24 classroom hours (no more than 2 per day, over at least three weeks), 6 behind-the-wheel hours, and 4 observation hours, and you need at least 70% on the Segment 1 state exam to pass. Segment 2 adds 6 classroom hours and also requires at least 70% on its state exam.

You can start Segment 1 at 14 years, 8 months old. You can get a Level 1 learner's license at 14 years, 9 months, a Level 2 intermediate license at 16, and a Level 3 full license at 17 once you've met every requirement. Michigan's graduated driver licensing program ends when you turn 18.

Michigan's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system has two segments of driver education and three licensing levels: a Level 1 learner's license, a Level 2 intermediate license, and a Level 3 full license. Driving privileges increase at each level as you build skill.

You must pass the driving skills test, be at least 16, have held your Level 1 license for at least six months, and have no violations or at-fault crashes in the last 90 days. Your Level 2 license is issued once your Segment 2 completion is reported.

Exceptions apply when you're driving to or from work or an authorized activity, or when a licensed driver who is 21 or older is with you.
