How many hours of practice driving are required in Connecticut before testing for your license?
If you are under the age of 18 you need to complete 40 hours of practice driving time.
If you do 8 hours of driving lessons with us, you would complete the other 32 hours at home with a parent or guardian. Adult drivers do not have a minimum requirement for driving, though we still recommend completing at least 40 hours.
