If an applicant is between the ages of 14 and 16, what restriction could be placed on their license?

The reasoning behind the driving restriction of six months for applicants between the ages of 14 and 16 is rooted in safety protocols designed to mitigate risks associated with young, inexperienced drivers. At this age, individuals are typically in the process of obtaining their learner's permit or a provisional license, which often comes with conditions that limit their driving exposure to ensure they gain experience in a controlled manner.

These restrictions frequently include limitations on nighttime driving and the requirement to drive only under specific circumstances, such as with a licensed adult supervising. By enforcing a six-month restriction, the intention is to encourage young drivers to focus on skill development without overwhelming them with the full range of driving scenarios they might encounter if granted unrestricted access to driving. This measured approach helps to build their confidence and proficiency behind the wheel before they transition to more independent driving privileges.
