Previously, drivers in Ohio under the age of 18 had to complete driver’s education before getting a license. However, anyone over 18 could simply take the driving test and if they passed, that was it.
Beginning Sept. 30, anyone under the age of 21 who gets a driver’s license in Ohio will have to go through driver’s education classes first. Currently, driver’s ed is required for 16 and 17-year-olds.
