Drivers Ed

 

ATTENTION Enterprise High DRIVER ED STUDENTS!

In order to be in compliance with the State of Utah, there has been a significant change in our behind-the-wheel phase of Driver Education. Effective immediately (08/30/2021), we will no longer drive and test the same student with the same driving instructor. From now on, each student will do their practice hours with one Enterprise instructor and test with a different Enterprise instructor. This change is new to all of us but with patience and clear communication, we will make it happen! Thank you for your cooperation!

STEP 1: AT THE AGE OF 15, STUDENTS CAN GO WITH A PARENT/GUARDIAN TO THE DLD TO TAKE THE WRITTEN TEST IN ORDER TO GET THEIR PERMIT. THEY MUST HAVE THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, PROOF OF RESIDENCY, AND SOCIAL SECURITY CARD IN ORDER TO TAKE THE TEST. THE COST IS $20.  

STEP 2: STUDENTS CAN REGISTER FOR DRIVERS ED. CLASS AFTER RECEIVING THEIR PERMITS. ALL CLASSES WILL BE TAUGHT ONLINE. PAYMENT FOR THE CLASS MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE CLASS SIGN UP. AFTER PAYMENT IN THE FINANCE OFFICE,  PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THE CLASS IN THE COUNSELING CENTER. 

STEP 3: STUDENTS SHOULD BE DRIVING WITH THEIR PARENT/GUARDIAN WHEN THEY GET THEIR PERMIT. THEY SHOULD OBTAIN A MINIMUM OF 40 HOURS OF DRIVING, AND 10 OF THOSE HOURS SHOULD BE AT NIGHT. SKILLS THAT NEED TO BE COVERED ARE PARKING, BACKING UP, TURNING, SIGNALING, DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ETC.

STEP 4: UPON COMPLETION OF THE DRIVERS EDUCATION CLASS STUDENTS WILL DRIVE WITH A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR A MINIMUM OF FIVE SESSIONS AND OBSERVE OTHER DRIVERS. YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED A CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR AND THEY WILL CONTACT YOU TO SET UP A TIME TO DRIVE. LOOK AT THE BEHIND THE WHEEL SCHEDULE LINK TO YOUR LEFT.

STEP 5: STUDENTS TAKE THE DRIVING TEST WITH THEIR DRIVING INSTRUCTOR AND MUST PASS WITH AN 80% OR BETTER. 

STEP 6: AFTER PASSING THE DRIVING TEST, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO GET THEIR LICENSE AT THE DLD. THE COST IS $30.
