Teen Driving Lessons
As a teenager, driver’s training is one of the first requirements you must satisfy before applying for a driver’s license with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
Driver’s education will not only prepare you for your driving skills test, but it will also teach you safe driving habits and help you to become a responsible, intelligent driver.
The minimum age requirements to begin each step of the New Jersey MVC GDL program are as follows:

• Student learner’s permit: 16 years old.
• Examination permit: 17 years old.
• Probationary driver’s license: 17 years old.
• Unrestricted driver’s license: 18 years old.

If you’re a new driver younger than 21 years old, you are required to complete the New Jersey MVC GDL program.
The GDL program is broken down into the following steps and restrictions:

• Special student learner’s permit, which requires:
• Completion of a Driver’s Education course with a certified HOWELL driving instructor.
• A reflectorized license plate decal to be displayed when you drive.
• The permit to be validated to begin supervised driving.
• Supervised driving at all times with a licensed adult who is at least 21 years old and has been driving for at least 3 years.
• No driving between 11:01 p.m. and 5 a.m.
• Your only passengers to be parents, legal guardians, or dependents.
• Parent or guardian supervision, if you have more than 1 passenger.

• No driving between 11:01 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless you have a written statement for religious or work reasons.
