Minor Drivers Beware Many young teenagers are excited by the coming of age ritual that allows them to be more grown up and gives them more freedom. The ritual comes at the ripe old age of 16 and allows a teen to now start driving a car. Yes, we are talking about the ritual of taking drivers education, going down to the Drivers License Division and taking the test, and finally receiving your permit to drive. What many teenagers are finding out as they go through this procedure is that Utah law has recently changed adding more restrictions to new drivers. There are two new restrictions for minors who are driving. The first is that for the first 6 months after getting their drivers license they cannot have any passengers in the vehicle with them unless the passenger is an immediate family member. The second is that until they turn 17 they cannot operate a vehicle upon any road between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Both of these "minor driver" restrictions have their exceptions. The exceptions for the passenger restriction is: The driver must have a note from a parent or guardian giving permission to drive with passengers directly to and/or from a school or religious activity, or have a licensed driver at least 21 years if age sitting next to them, or for agricultural work, or for an emergency. The exception for the night driving is: The driver may drive directly to and/or from a school or religious activity or employment, or have a driver at least 21 years of age sitting next to them, or for agricultural work, or for an emergency.
