Graduated licensing is a system designed to help new drivers gain experience gradually. It typically involves multiple stages, starting with a learner's permit, where the driver must practice under supervision. As they demonstrate safe driving skills, they can progress to an intermediate license, which may have certain restrictions, such as limited night driving or passenger limits. The final stage is the full, unrestricted license, which allows the driver to operate a vehicle independently. This approach aims to reduce accidents among young drivers by providing them with the necessary skills and confidence before they face the challenges of driving alone.
