STATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA, GA 30334

My Fellow Georgians, STATE OF GEORGIA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

SAiTnLcAeNT2A0, G11A, 3G03e3o4 rgia has experienced growth in a number of areas, including population. In fact, we've moved from the tenth most populous state in the nation to the eighth, meaning more vehicles and people on our roads than ever before. Our highway system is a gateway for businesses across the country. Trucks hauling freight from Georgia on these highways are able to reach 80 percent of the U.S. population within two days. Because of our infrastructure system, Georgia has been called the "Super Hub of the Southeast."

The safety of our drivers and the effective transportation of goods are vital to ensuring Georgia remains a great place to live and work. I encourage all Georgia motorists to practice safe and cautious driving habits daily. In order to keep Georgia's roads and highways safe, motorists and their passengers should always practice wearing a seat belt, obey the speed limit, refrain from texting while driving and never drive under the influence.

The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) is working hard to issue licenses, identification cards, and safety documents in an efficient and friendly manner. Employees at DDS have adopted several technology improvements, and with implementing these technologies we hope to make your time spent at DDS an enjoyable one. I encourage you to become more familiar with highway safety rules so we can keep our motorists and you safe.

Thank you for taking these measures to make Georgia's roads and highways a safer place to travel.

Sincerely,

Nathan Deal Governor

DDS ONLINE SERVICES

Be certain to take advantage of DDS Online Services and avoid an unnecessary trip to a customer service center.

Teens under 18 years of age are first issued a "restricted" Class D license which imposes passenger and curfew restrictions. Upon reaching 18 years of age, these drivers are eligible to exchange the Class D "restricted" license for a Class C "unrestricted" license. DDS mails a postcard reminder to those eligible teens to notify them of the Online service. After requesting a license upgrade online, the replacement license is mailed to the residence and arrives within 3 weeks.

DDS Online Services enable thousands of Georgia drivers to conduct many transactions via dds. and eliminate a visit to a DDS Customer Service Center (CSC). This saves customers valuable time and money. DDS does not charge an additional fee for choosing Internet Services. A $5.00 discount may apply for eligible license types that are renewed on the internet.

2018 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. To that end, 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-thewheel skills portion of Georgia's teen driver education requirements. Georgia law requires that all teens under the age of 17 successfully complete a DDS-approved driver training program in order to obtain a Class D provisional license. Without driver training, teens are not eligible for a provisional license until they reach age 17. 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. Specific questions about information include in the Guide can be submitted to DDS via the "Ask Teen Driver" email found at the DDS website, dds.. Also, remember that you can save time by using DDS Online Services for most DDS services, including upgrading your Class D Provisional License to a Class C Full License. Best of luck and safe driving!

Sincerely,

Spencer R. Moore Commissioner
