Summary of Iowa Graduated Licensing Law
(detailed chart bottom of this page)
Iowa has a three stage licensing process for minors.
  1. Instruction Permit (at least age 14). Must hold for minimum 6 months without convictions, complete driver education course including 3 to 6 hours behind-the-wheel training, and log 20 hours supervised practice, including 2 hours at night. 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. Intermediate License (at least 16). Must have met Permit requirements, log 10 hours supervised practice, including 2 hours at night, and must hold accident and collision free for minimum 12 months. Restrictions apply.
  3. Full License (at least 17). Must have met Intermediate License requirements.
Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
Today’s teens do not just want their license; they want to be good collision-free drivers. They know the risks. Virtually all have friends who got a license and were involved in a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates due to fatal collisions.
Driver Ed in a Box® Certificate of Completion!

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.

Teens want to know "why" the things you ask them to do will work. When you complete the full course you get a Certificate of Completion. Take this to your insurance agent. It varies state by state and by insurance company, but you may receive an insurance discount.
Using the full course your teen will learn why each step is important while learning the collision-free HABITS that make you a better driver. The full course also includes a section on Social & Consumer Issues. This includes how alcohol and drugs as well as emotions and attitude affect driving performance. Also covered are vehicle ownership (buying, leasing, insuring, and maintaining).
Over 15,000 students have used Driver Ed in a Box®.
