H217

Driver Educ./18 Yrs & Older & Unlicensed

Chamber Passed·4/30/25

North Carolina H217 mandates an alcohol and drug abuse awareness course for unlicensed drivers aged 18 and older.

North Carolina H217 requires all applicants for a driver's license who are 18 years and older to complete a three-hour course in alcohol and drug abuse awareness. This applies to those who have been licensed in another country but excludes those licensed in another state or who have completed a Department of Education driver education course. The course, which can be offered online or in person, promotes traffic safety and covers the physiological and psychological consequences of alcohol and drug abuse, their effects on driving, state laws on vehicle operation, and high-risk driving.
