Joshua Robert Brown was a high achieving teen who was bound for great things, as he had been accepted into a prestigious music school in Boston, which he was supposed to attend after his high school graduation. Tragically these plans were cut short by a terrible accident. Joshua’s truck hit a puddle of water leading him to hydroplane and crash into a tree. Joshua fought for his life for nine days but his life was cut short on July 9th.
After Joshua’s death, his parents, Alan and Christy Brown, advocated for stronger driver education. With the help of Alan and Christy the requirements have developed safer roads!
For 16-year-olds to get a Class D license:
Complete 30 hours of classroom instruction (or online equivalent)
Do 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training at a driving school (or 40 hours of supervised driving, 6 of which must be at night)
Hold a learner’s permit (Class CP) for at least 1 year and 1 day
17-year-olds must meet similar requirements, but the classroom and driving course isn’t always mandatory depending on their permit date.
