What type of supervision is required while driving with a TIP?

When driving with a Temporary Instruction Permit (TIP) in Wisconsin, it is essential to have a licensed adult driver present in the vehicle. This requirement ensures that a responsible and knowledgeable individual is available to provide guidance and support, helping the permit holder develop their skills in a safe environment.

Having a licensed adult driver serves multiple purposes. They act as a mentor, offering instruction and corrections as necessary, while also ensuring that the permit holder adheres to traffic laws and safe driving practices. Additionally, having a licensed driver in the passenger seat can provide an added level of safety by being able to intervene in unpredictable situations.

While having a parent, guardian, or driving instructor might seem like a viable option, the law specifically states that it must be a licensed adult driver, which encompasses a broader range of individuals, not limited to family or instructors. This flexibility helps to accommodate various learning situations and allows the permit holder to practice under a range of circumstances, provided a responsible driver is present.
