How long will driving school take in Washington state?

My teenager is anxious to start driving, but I’m worried about letting her behind the wheel without some quality instruction. I want to enroll her in a driving school, but I’ll be the one taking her to and from class—how long will driving school in Washington take? Will I get my weekends back soon?

It can be a headache teaching a teenager how to drive, so kudos to you for starting out on this journey! Driving school in
Washington
is no joke—teens under 18 need to attend a minimum of 30 hours of driving school to get their licenses. This is a big time and money investment, much like adding a teen driver to your
car insurance
.
Look for a school that offers a complete curriculum, which includes:
  • 30 hours of classroom training, max two hours per day
  • Minimum 6 hours of practice driving, max one hour per day
  • One hour of behind-the-wheel observation
Depending on the school schedule, it could take a month or longer for your teen to complete driving school. Thankfully, it doesn’t take nearly as long to find affordable car insurance for you and your teen when you download the
