What happens if a teen driver commits a traffic offense and receives a ticket while he/she has a GDL license?
As of September 2008, GDL holders can no longer “plea down” to “no point” offenses. If a GDL holder accumulates three or more penalty points, they have to complete a driver improvement program. If they fail to complete this program, or if they accumulate additional points, it will result in suspension and postponement of their eligibility to obtain a provisional (if in the permit phase) or basic license (if in the probationary phase). In addition, violations may incur legal fees and/or higher insurance rates. This can cost thousands of dollars. GDL holders must obey all traffic rules and regulations. It can save money… and their lives.
