Supervised Driving Log

OBTAINING A PERMIT
Students who are enrolled in a state approved driver education course are not required to take a written exam at the License Branch to obtain a driver education permit.                                            

Three weeks before the first day of class we will mail you the required CDE form to obtain the driver education permit.

You must also take proof of identification information (list included with CDE form or may be accessed on the BMV website) with you to get your permit as well as successfully pass an eye exam to obtain a permit.

Driving Privileges
The driver education permit is not valid unitl the student has completed 1 hour of driver education. At this time the student is legal to practice with a parent or legal guardian and an instructor.
Once the student has successfully completed the driver education course and the permit has been validated the student may drive with the same privileges as an Indiana Learner Permit.

"I Drive Safely"

Sammers Driving School has partnered with "I Drive Safely" to offer an online Driver Education option.
Once the online course is completed and a certificate has been received you may register with us to receive a CDE form to
obtain the driver education permit and then complete the 6 hours behind the wheel instruction required by the state to complete the
program. The fee for 6 hours of driving is $360.

OBTAINING A LICENSE

Students who have completed a Sammers State Certified driver education course with a grade of 80%/"B-" or above in both classroom and driving portions of the course qualify for a waiver which allows the student to complete the "Roadtest" with us if they choose to do so.  We schedule these tests on a separate day close to their date of license eligibility.  

There is a $30 fee for this test and you must call to schedule the test with us.
