2 2021-2022 GEORGIA 40-HOUR PARENT/TEEN DRIVING GUIDE
, DDS COMMISSIONER AND BOARD MESSAGES
COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGE
Dear Parents and Future Drivers,
Reaching the age to obtain a driver’s license is one of the most exciting times in a teenager’s life. For parents and
teens alike, it is a process and an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. While the privilege to drive opens
doors to many new opportunities, it also carries with it tremendous responsibilities. A solid foundation in driver
education, including practice and behind-the-wheel experience, has proven to be the one of the best protections
against teen driving fatalities, which continue to be the leading cause of death among teens in the United States.
I am pleased to present the DDS 40-hour Parent Teen Driving Guide, which is intended to not only provide teens
with the fundamental tools necessary to be safer drivers, but also assist in satisfying the behind-the-wheel skills
portion of Georgia’s teen driver education requirements. Georgia law requires that all teens under the age of 18
successfully complete a DDS-approved driver training program to obtain a Class D provisional license. Without
driver training, teens are not eligible for a provisional license. When coupled with a DDS-approved 30-hour virtual
or 30-hour classroom program, successful completion of this Guide will satisfy Georgia’s driver education
requirements.
Please read the Guide carefully and be sure to follow all of the directions. All sessions must be completed prior to
being able to take the DDS road skills test. In addition, a Driving Experience Affidavit (DDS-7) must be completed at
DDS affirming the applicant has a minimum of 40 hours of driving experience, 6 hours of which must be at night.
Teens without the required 40 hours will not be tested.
Also, please download the official DDS Mobile App, DDS 2 GO, for free from the App Store or Google Play. Using
DDS 2 GO will allow you to save time by completing many transactions without visiting in person including upgrad-
ing your Class D Provisional License to a Class C Full License.
Best of luck and safe driving!
Sincerely,
Spencer R. Moore
