When can students start behind-the-wheel training under Joshua's Law?

Students can begin behind-the-wheel training under Joshua's Law after completing the classroom component. This educational requirement ensures that they have the necessary theoretical knowledge about driving laws, safety, and operating a vehicle before they start practical training. The emphasis is on ensuring that students are well-prepared and understand the fundamentals of driving prior to getting behind the wheel.

This staged learning approach is designed to promote safer driving habits and better prepare students for the challenges they will face on the road. Starting behind-the-wheel training prior to completing the classroom instruction would not provide students with the foundational information that is vital for effective and responsible driving. The other options suggest scenarios such as turning 18, passing a written test, or obtaining a license, which are not prerequisites for starting behind-the-wheel training. Instead, the completion of the classroom component serves as the gateway to this next phase of learning.
