Joshua's Law – What will it mean for teen drives and their parents? Since January 1st, 16 year-old drivers in Georgia have been required to complete an approved Driver Education course in addition to at least 40 hours of other supervised driving experience, including 6 hours at night. Without the Driver Education course, teens must wait until they are 17 to get their first non-learner [Class D] license. Joining us to explain how parents can best prepare their teens under the new rules are Andrew Turnage, Public Information & Education Resource Manager for UGA's Traffic Injury Prevention Institute, and Greg Dozier, Commissioner of the Department of Driver Services.
