What is Graduated Driver License or GDL ?
The Graduated Driver License law was
strengthened in 2005 when the Oklahoma Legislature passed HB 1653. This law requires teens to apply for the
license, which restricts their driving time to the hours of 5 a.m. to 11
p.m., with the exceptions for driving to work,
school, church or related activities, or if a licensed driver is seated
next to the teenager. The bill also prevents teenage
drivers from chauffeuring their friends around town, prohibiting teens
with a restricted license from driving with
multiple passengers younger than age 21 (other than family).
What happens if you break the rules and are convicted of a
moving violation... ?
You will remain at your current GDL level (learner
or intermediate) until six (6) months from the date of conviction has elapsed.
When is a probationary License... ?
A license issued to drivers under 18 is considered
probationary--You are on a trial period to show you can drive safely and legally. The
Department of Public Safety can, at its option, cancel or suspend your license for any moving traffic violation.
