    The document provides information about Wyoming's graduated driver licensing program for minors under 17. It explains that minors must first obtain an Intermediate Permit by meeting requirements like holding an instruction permit for 10 days, completing 50 hours of supervised driving including 10 at night, and passing a vision and driving skills test. The Intermediate Permit comes with restrictions like only allowing one passenger under 18 who is not family, and only driving between 5am-11pm, unless an exception form is completed. With the Intermediate Permit, full privileges can be obtained at 16 1/2 by completing driver's ed or at 17. The goal is to allow young drivers time to develop skills safely.

    What Every Parent Needs to Know...

Nationally, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 15-20, causing 1/3 of all fatalities. Teens are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as are all other licensed drivers. Graduated driver licensing is designed to allow young drivers time to develop their driving skills and to demonstrate responsible driving behaviors.
