Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) systems allow teen drivers to safely gain driving experience, during lower risk times and situations, before obtaining full driving privileges. Every state’s law is unique, and it is important to know the ins and outs of your law.

​

Teen Tips:

• The driver and all passengers should always wear seat belts during every trip and in every seat.

• Know how many passengers you are allowed to have in your vehicle.

• Teen passengers increase the risk of teen driver crashes exponentially.

• Do your research - find out what the nighttime driving restrictions are in your state.

• Never drive distracted.

• It is illegal and deadly to drink or use drugs and drive.

• Talk to your parents.
