Georgia's Alcohol And Drug Awareness Program (ADAP)Practice Exam

A teen must be at least 16 years old to qualify for a Provisional License in Georgia. This age requirement aligns with the graduated licensing system designed to provide young drivers with increased responsibility as they gain experience behind the wheel. At 16, teens who have completed the necessary requirements, which include holding an instructional permit for at least one year and completing a driver education course, are eligible to apply for a Provisional License. This license allows them to drive independently with certain restrictions, such as passenger limitations, which are intended to help ensure their safety and that of others on the road. The other age options—15, 17, and 18—do not meet the legal age requirement for obtaining a Provisional License. Drivers must first start with an instructional permit at 15, but they cannot progress to the Provisional License until they reach 16.
