Graduated licensing means that as teens gain experience on the road and prove they’re good drivers, they “graduate” to fewer restrictions and more driving privileges.

Many states have already adopted graduated licensing laws. While laws vary by state, some states have incorporated all or part of these provisions into their law:

• Learner’s permit or intermediate license requirements
• Parental supervision of driving
• Suspension of driving privileges with a crash
• Additional training requirements after a crash or ticket
• Tougher drunk driving limits
• Safety belt requirements for driver and passengers
• Restrictions on the number of passengers allowed in a car
• Mandatory driver education

To learn about graduated licensing in your state, contact your Congressional representative, Senator, or Driver Education Instructor.
