Thank you for reaching this important milestone.It's exciting to learn to drive, but also a time of great responsibility.

Driving is not a right.Many people of all ages make poor decisions that result in losing their driving privileges, or worse, injuring themselves or their loved ones.

It is important that you understand the process as you begin the Graduated Driver Licensing process.The law requires your parent or guardian to certify that you have spent at least 50 hours behind the wheel.As you gain more driving experience, your parent or guardian will be helpful, not just because they'll be with you on your practice drives.To observe safe driving habits, look to them.

By obeying the rules of the road, avoiding distraction like texting, and never drinking and driving, you'll reach your destination safely and receive full driving privileges when you earn your Level 3 license.
