Quebec's graduated licensing program

Quebec’s graduated licensing program is a phased process designed to gradually introduce new drivers to full driving privileges, enhancing safety. It begins with a learner’s permit, requiring a supervised practice period. Next is a probationary license, allowing unsupervised driving with some restrictions, such as passenger limits or nighttime driving. After fulfilling certain conditions and holding the probationary license for specified time, drivers can obtain a full, unrestricted license. This structured approach helps new drivers gain experience safely, reducing the risk of accidents while ensuring they develop responsible driving habits.
