MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin lawmakers have advanced a measure that would allow students at private driving schools to learn the rules of the road online rather than in the classroom.
The state Assembly approved the bill Tuesday on a voice vote.
Current Department of Transportation regulations require private driving classes to occur in a classroom. The bill would allow driving schools the option of providing online courses. Public schools that offer driver’s education already provide online training.
Students would still be required to pass a state-approved driver education course, log 30 hours of behind-the-wheel experience and pass a driving skills test before receiving a drivers’ license.
The measure now moves to the Senate.
