If you are 19 years of age or older and have never held a license, do you need to take a driver education course?

If you are 19 years of age or older and have never held a license, you do not need to take a driver education course in Utah. The state law recognizes that individuals in this age group are considered adults and are allowed to learn how to drive without being mandated to complete a formal driver education program. This flexibility is intended to accommodate older first-time drivers who may have different life experiences and needs compared to teenagers, who typically are required to complete such a course before obtaining their licenses.

The other options imply varying conditions under which a driver education course might be necessary, but for adults 19 and older, the requirements are less stringent, allowing them to learn and take the driving test without going through a formal educational course.
