While there are several bustling cities in the state of Wyoming, most of the state is rural. This means, driving is the only way for most of the population to travel from place to place. This makes it difficult to restrict teens from driving until age 17 or 18. Wyoming teens must be at least 15 to begin the state’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program, but if a teen lives more than 5 miles away from school and no other options are available, the teen may apply for a restricted driver’s license at the age of 14.
