(Des Moines, IA) — A recently approved bill allows teenagers as young as 14 and 15 to drive to work without adult supervision. Under the new law, teens can drive to any job, not just farm work or school-related activities. However, restrictions include limiting driving distance to 25 miles and prohibiting driving as part of the job. While supporters argue the bill provides valuable work experience for teens, opponents express concerns about safety and the potential impact on car insurance rates. The bill now awaits consideration in the Iowa House.
