DULUTH, Minn. – Many teens hoping to begin the process of getting their driver’s license, may have thought they lost their chance this year, as the Covid-19 pandemic continues.
Fortunately, a local driving school is offering virtual driver’s education courses, so those teens get that opportunity.

Young drivers are required to take 30 hours of classroom instruction, but the pandemic has put limitations on in-person classes.
“In the classroom its groups of ten or smaller. When I get a class of 40, I can’t have that in-person. This virtual class allows us to be able to do that,” said Owner Denise McDougall.
Northern Lights also offers driving lessons, but there are a few protocols for safety.
Students and instructors are required to wear masks.
Vehicles are also sanitized after every training session.
