"Michigan state requires Individuals under the age of 18 must successfully complete a driver education course and have parental consent before receiving their Level 1 or Level 2 license. Your state does not recognize parent taught or online driver ed courses for this requirement. You must complete a public school driver ed course or a commercial driver ed school course for this requirement. We suggest you use Driver Ed in a Box® to teach your teen safe collision free driving during the level 1 learner license."

1. Level 1 (at least age 14 & 9 months) We recommend our Driver Ed in a Box® to use during the Learner stage. Shows the parent how to teach collision-free driving habits and provides unique teaching tools (mirrors, checklists, videos, audio instruction series, etc.).
2. Level 2 (at least 16)
3. Level 3 (age 17)

Our product now includes both the Interactive CD-Rom Version and the Textbook Version for one low price.  You may use either version to complete the course at your own pace.

Restrictions
Between midnight and 5 a.m., teen must drive with a licensed adult over age 21 unless driving to and from employment.

Parent Option
Parent/guardian has the option of requesting inwriting that the teen driver remain at Level 2 and not automatically advance to Level 3 at age 17. Request must be made at least 30 days before teen’s 17th birthday.

Have held Intermediate License for minimum 6 months.

With parent/guardian approval at Level 2, the Level 3 License is automatically mailed to teen. If approval was not given, parent/guardian and teen must go to a Secretary of State branch office. New drivers, including teen drivers under Graduated Driver Licensing, are placed on probation for a minimum of three years. The probationary period is a way for the Secretary of State to monitor the driving performance of new drivers. Although probation is a separate program from GDL, the objective of both programs is to help young drivers reduce their crash risk and drive safely.
