What are Graduated Drivers License Laws?
Several regions of the world, particularly in the United States, have enacted graduated driver’s license laws for citizens under a certain age, typically 18, who are getting a drivers license for the first time. A Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) has certain restrictions on when the driver is allowed to drive, and how old passengers may be. Usually there are several tiers of restrictions which ultimately end after a year or when the driver turns 18. It is believed that graduated driver’s license laws make driving safer for teens who are just learning how to drive.
