In most countries, some form of driver education is mandatory for new drivers. However, the specific requirements vary from country to country and can include:
* A minimum number of hours of classroom instruction
* A minimum number of hours of behind-the-wheel training
* A written exam
* A driving test
Some countries also require drivers to complete a certain amount of supervised driving experience before they are allowed to drive solo.
In some jurisdictions, drivers education may not be required by law, but it may still be recommended or strongly encouraged. For example, in the United States, some states do not require drivers education, but many insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who complete a certified drivers education course.
