GDL (Graduated Driver Licensing)

Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) is a system designed to provide new drivers with a structured approach to gaining driving experience. It typically involves three phases: a learner's permit stage, where new drivers practice under supervision; an intermediate phase, allowing unsupervised driving with restrictions; and a full license stage, where they can drive without limitations. This gradual progression helps young or new drivers build skills and confidence while reducing the risk of accidents. GDL programs vary by state or country, aiming to promote safer driving habits among less experienced drivers.
