TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Oklahoma is about to be the first state in the nation to require teen drivers to take a work zone and first responder safety course.
The law is set to take effect on Nov. 1 and it will require that all Oklahoma teen drivers complete the free online Oklahoma Work Zone Safety Course before they can apply for a Class D intermediate driver's license.
This law takes effect a little over a week after National Teen Driver Safety Week ends on Oct. 21.
Work Zone Safe was created by Tom Robins for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, the Association of Oklahoma General Contractors, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office.
The law requiring teens to take the course, HB2418, is backed by Governor Kevin Stitt, Representative Ronny Johns, and Senator Darcy Jech.
The course will take about 45 minutes to complete and can be accessed on any device. Once completed, teens who took the test will get a digital completion certificate to present to Service Oklahoma to obtain an intermediate license.
Teens can submit this certificate as early as when they apply for their learner's permit.
You can learn more about the Oklahoma Work Zone Safe Course on the Work Zone Safe website.
More information on the Teen Driver Graduated License program can be found on Oklahoma.gov.
