No matter where you’re learning to drive in Montana — Billings, Bozeman, Missoula, or Great Falls — our online tools make studying simple and effective.
Practice daily, track your scores, and get ready to earn your Montana learner’s permit with confidence.

Montana uses a Graduated Driver License (GDL) program to help teens gain safe driving experience in stages: learner license → restricted/intermediate license → full license.
Teens can apply for a Montana learner license at 14½ years old after passing the Montana written knowledge test.
Teens must hold a learner license and complete supervised driving before qualifying for the next stage of the Montana GDL program.
A supervising driver must be a licensed adult seated in the front passenger seat while the teen is driving with a learner license.
Montana GDL rules include restrictions designed to reduce distractions and help teens gain safe driving experience before earning a full license.
Montana teen driving laws include night driving limits during the intermediate stage to reduce crash risk and improve safety.
Montana teen drivers should avoid all distractions. Using a phone while driving greatly increases crash risk and can result in penalties.
Study the Montana Driver Manual and take multiple Montana teen permit practice tests to learn road signs, right-of-way rules, and safe driving habits.
Teens can upgrade to a full license after completing the Montana GDL stages, gaining driving experience, and meeting all state requirements.
