7.5 Colorado’s Graduated License Law
(C.R.S. 42-2-104, 105, 105.5, 42-4-116)
Colorado law requires a minor applying for an
instruction permit to hold that permit for at least 12
months and submit a log of their driving experience at
the time they apply for their license. They must show
50 hours of driving experience; 10 of which must have
been at night. Once a minor gets their license, the
law also places restrictions on drivers under 18. See
page 37 for the log sheet and detailed information on
restrictions and requirements.
7.6 the duties of occupants of vehicles involved in
accidents resulting in personal injury (C.R.S. 42-4-
1607)
If you are a passenger in a vehicle involved in an
accident where the driver is physically incapable of
reporting the accident, you are required to report the
accident and, if directed by police, to remain at the
scene of the accident until police arrive. Failure to do so
is a Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense.
