Blanchard Oklahoma Online Driver Education and Blanchard Oklahoma Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit or first Blanchard Oklahoma driver’s license. Blanchard Oklahoma has a Graduated Driver License Program for Blanchard Oklahoma teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Blanchard Oklahoma driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.

The Blanchard Oklahoma Instructional Permit or Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit

When you turn 15, you can practice driving with a certified driving instructor--and you don’t even have to have a license! But when you’re 15 and a half, you can finally apply for an Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit. With this license, you can begin practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21. Once you turn 16, you can practice driving with any licensed driver who is at least 21.

Also, you’ll have to be currently enrolled in an Blanchard Oklahoma approved driver education class (see the note at the end of this guide). If you don’t want to take an Blanchard Oklahoma approved driver education course, you’ll have to wait until you’re 16 before applying for your Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit.

Either way, once you’re ready, head on down to your local Blanchard Oklahoma Driver License Exam Station with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Remember to bring the proper identification. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test, as well as written exam. You can use the Blanchard Oklahoma driver manual as a study guide. If you pass, then breathe a sigh of relief: you’ve just earned your Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit!

Remember, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and don't forget to carry your Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit with you at all times.

Once you’ve held your Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit for 6 months and have met a few more requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Blanchard Oklahoma Graduated License Program, the Blanchard Oklahoma Intermediate License.

The Blanchard Oklahoma Intermediate Driver License and Blanchard Oklahoma Full Driver License

You can apply for your Blanchard Oklahoma Probationary Driver License once you’ve held your Blanchard Oklahoma Temporary Instruction Permit for 6 months and have met these several requirements:

• You've held your Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit for at least 6 months
• You've completed 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving
• 10 hours of driving practice must be during night hours
• Practice must be done with a licensed driver who is at least 21 and licensed for at least 2 years
• A record of your driving hours must be kept and certified

If you’ve completed these requirements, then head on down to your local Blanchard Oklahoma Driver License Exam Station. Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Blanchard Oklahoma road skills test! If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Blanchard Oklahoma Intermediate License. However you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions until you’ve held your Blanchard Oklahoma Intermediate License for at least 6 months. Let’s learn about the restrictions.

Blanchard Oklahoma Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

You still have just a little father to go to earn your full Blanchard Oklahoma driver's license. Until then, there are a few restrictions for your Blanchard Oklahoma Intermediate License, depending on your age:

• You may not drive between 10PM and 5AM unless:
1. Going to/from a school activity, church, or work (unless accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21)
2. Must drive without Blanchard Oklahoma traffic convictions to apply for Blanchard Oklahoma Unrestricted License
3. Only 1 passenger is allowed in your car who is not family

However, once you turn 18 or have had your Blanchard Oklahoma Intermediate License for at least 6 months), you can finally apply for your Blanchard Oklahoma Unrestricted License. Then, all restrictions are removed. Freedom!

Blanchard Oklahoma Drunk Driving Laws

As an Blanchard Oklahoma teen driver, there's no bigger threat you'll face than drunk drivers. It’s important for you to learn the Blanchard Oklahoma drunk driving laws (and obey them religiously). Like most states, Blanchard Oklahoma has a Zero Tolerance Law for underage drinking, and if you are convicted of an Blanchard Oklahoma DUI or Blanchard Oklahoma DWI, you face additional penalties to those listed below.

Upon your first conviction of an Blanchard Oklahoma DUI, you’ll face the following penalties:

• Jail from 10 days to 1 year (up to 4 years with child under 18 in vehicle)
• Fine up to $1,000
• DUI Fees $300 minimum
• Double DUI fine if child under 18 in vehicle
• Blanchard Oklahoma License Suspension 30 days
• Assessment and Evaluation for Treatment Program

And of course, further Blanchard Oklahoma DWI and DUI convictions will result in more severe penalties, up to and including jail time, Blanchard Oklahoma license suspension or even Blanchard Oklahoma license revocation. As you can see, it's something we take very seriously - don't do it!

Blanchard Oklahoma Auto Insurance Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you finally get your coveted Blanchard Oklahoma Learner’s Permit or Blanchard Oklahoma Provisional driver’s license, you’re ready to drive--or so you may think. Because accidents happen to even experienced drivers, Blanchard Oklahoma drivers are required by law to be covered by liability insurance. The minimum liability insurance coverage is:

• $25,000 bodily injury for one person
• $50,000 bodily injury two or more people
• $25,000 for property damage per accident

If you are in an accident and found to be driving without Blanchard Oklahoma mandatory liability insurance, your Blanchard Oklahoma license could be suspended.

Blanchard Oklahoma Cell Phone Laws

We acknowledge how important it is for young people to stay in touch with friends, but studies show that cell phone use, especially text messaging, contributes to accidents. Currently, Blanchard Oklahoma teen drivers are not prohibited from using cell phones while driving.
