In almost every state, you’re required to have six one-hour lessons with a certified driving instructor to pass a driving test.
On top of this, most states also require 30 hours of classroom instruction plus a certain amount of supervised driving with a family member. The specifics vary from state to state.
For example, in New Jersey
, you only need six one-hour lessons with a licensed driving instructor, but you need six months of supervised driving with a family member. You also have to be 17 years old to get your license. Check with your driver’s ed teacher or search your DMV’s website to find out about your state’s criteria.
