Driver's training course.
1. The director upon receiving proper application may issue a restricted instruction permit
effective for a school year or more restricted period to an applicant who is at least
fourteen years of age and enrolled in a commercial driver training course that includes
practice driving and which is approved by the director of the highway patrol under
chapter 39-25. The restricted instruction permit entitles the permittee when the
permittee has the permit in the permittee's immediate possession to operate a motor
vehicle with an approved instructor occupying a seat beside the permittee and on a
designated highway or within a designated area.
2. a. Subject to subdivision b, any student enrolled in behind-the-wheel driver's training
through a high school program approved by the superintendent of public
instruction may operate a motor vehicle, under the supervision of a driver training
instructor certified by the superintendent of public instruction, without a permit or
license to operate a motor vehicle, if the school district sponsoring the driver's
training program has an insurance policy covering any damage that may be done
by a student while operating the vehicle and proof of coverage is filed with the
superintendent of public instruction by the school district's insurance carrier. The
insurance coverage must be in the amount required to establish proof of financial
responsibility.
b. A student may not enroll in a driver's training course through a high school
program approved by the superintendent of public instruction unless the student

will be at least fourteen years of age by the completion date of the classroom
portion of the driver's training course. A student may not participate in the
behind-the-wheel driver's training portion of the driver's training course until the
student is at least fourteen years of age. A student must complete the driver's
training course's required amount of behind-the-wheel driver's training before
successfully completing the course.
