(ONN) – Driver’s ed laws in Ohio are about to change, impacting a majority of young adults who don’t have their license yet.

Anyone 18 or older used to be able to bypass driver’s ed to get their license if they successfully passed their driver’s test.

But, at the end of September, that age will now raise to 21.

This is part of a new law which will require everyone younger than 21 years old to go through the same driving education – 24 hours of classroom training, eight hours behind the wheel with an instructor, and 50 hours of driving with an adult.

Driving instructors say this law should help minimize crashes involving 18 to 21 year olds.
