A restricted license is a type of driver's license that allows individuals to operate a vehicle under specific conditions. These conditions may include limitations on driving hours, the requirement to have a licensed adult in the vehicle, or restrictions on the type of vehicle that can be driven. This license is often issued to new drivers or those who have had their full driving privileges revoked. The purpose of a restricted license is to promote safe driving practices while allowing individuals to gain experience behind the wheel. It is commonly used in programs for young drivers, such as those involving graduated licensing, which gradually increases driving privileges as the driver gains experience and demonstrates responsible behavior.
