flag Minnesota’s Vanessa’s Law bans teens from driving until 18 after impaired driving or crash offenses, requiring tests, education, and fees.

flag Vanessa’s Law in Minnesota, enacted in 2004 after a teen crash killed 15-year-old Vanessa Weiss, imposes strict penalties on underage drivers convicted of impaired driving or crash-related violations. flag Teens without a license cannot obtain any driving privileges until age 18, must pass a written test, pay up to $680 in fees, hold an instruction permit for six months, and pass a road test. flag Those with provisional licenses who lose them must also wait until 18, complete classroom and behind-the-wheel driver education, and retake the written test if expired over a year. flag The law aims to reduce teen traffic fatalities through accountability and education.
