Alabama Graduated Driver License Law

As of July 2010, Alabama now has new driver's license laws that apply to drivers' ages 15 and 16. This law dramatically changes the rules for new drivers and should be reviewed by all new drivers and their parents/guardians. Here is a summary of the new law: Stage I - Learner's Permit • Must be age 15 or older. • Must pass a written examination. • Can only drive when accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or licensed driver who is age 21 or older and occupying the seat beside the driver. Stage II - Restricted License • Must be age 16 or older.
