What is the Kentucky GDL?

The Kentucky Graduated Drivers License, or GDL, was created as a means of reducing traffic incidents involving teen drivers. In the state of Kentucky, teen drivers make up 6% of the driving population, but are involved in 18% of Kentucky's fatal motor vehicle crashes. The GDL program adds a step to getting a license to protect young, inexperienced drivers. There is a six-month intermediate period between the learners permit and the full, unrestricted license. During this intermediate phase, teens have full driving privileges - with two restrictions:

• No driving between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m. (unless it's for an emergency, or for school or work).
• No driving with more than one unrelated passenger under the age of 20.
