About the California Licensing & the GDL System test
California uses a Graduated Driver License so new drivers ease into full privileges. You can apply for a learner permit at 15 and a half after completing driver education, then move up to a provisional license at 16 once you have held the permit six months and logged 50 hours of supervised driving. During the provisional stage a teen drives with a licensed adult beside them until they clear the milestones the DMV requires.
The restrictions are where people get tripped up. For the first 12 months, a provisional driver cannot carry passengers under 20 or drive between 11 pm and 5 am without a licensed adult 25 or older along. Drivers assume those limits lift after a few weeks, but they run the entire first year, and this section makes sure you know exactly how long they last.
Every question traces back to the California Driver's Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
