CINCINNATI, Ohio-Ohio teenagers seeking driver’s licenses currently must undergo eight hours of in-car instruction with a certified instructor. Proposed bills in the State House and Senate aim to introduce an app option for this training, sparking debates on convenience versus safety.
Advocates argue that apps could enhance training accessibility, especially in rural areas with limited driving schools, while critics, including driving school owners and AAA representatives, emphasize the importance of certified instructors for safety. Proponents like State Rep. Roy Klopfenstein compare the potential app use to pilot training simulations, but opponents fear increased crash risks without instructor oversight. Despite these debates, the bills have a long legislative journey ahead, with potential implications for future driver training methods in Ohio.
