It is a crucial stage in becoming an adult and gaining freedom. However, both teens and family members must be aware of the laws surrounding underage drivers and what is necessary to obtain a California driver&#8217;s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California was one of the first states to implement a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program, which grants full driving privileges in phases and lower-risk settings. This program is used to keep teen drivers safe and prevent motor vehicle crashes, which is one of the leading causes of teenage death in the U.S. Young drivers are at a higher risk of suffering an injury or death due to their inexperience, <a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/how-parents-can-prevent-young-drivers-from-dui\/\">drinking and driving<\/a>, and high speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what to know about California teen driving laws:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Learner&#8217;s permit: Available at 15\u00bd years old (cannot drive alone)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provisional license: Available at 16 after 6 months with a permit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cannot drive alone at night: 11 PM &#8211; 5 AM curfew for first 12 months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No passengers under 20 for the first 12 months (without adult supervision)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cell phone use is prohibited (even hands-free) except emergencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zero tolerance DUI: 0.01% BAC limit for under 21<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full license: Available after 12 months of provisional license<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learner\u2019s Permit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in obtaining a driver\u2019s license is a learner\u2019s permit, also known as an instruction permit. California drivers must be at least 15 \u00bd years old but under 18 to apply for a driver&#8217;s permit. To obtain a learner\u2019s permit, a teen driver must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Complete a driver&#8217;s license or ID card application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a parent or legal guardian sign the application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/\">California DMV<\/a> with identification and residency documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit proof of completion of the driving education program on the DMV website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit the DMV to take a vision exam, a knowledge exam, a fingerprint scan, and a photograph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provisional License&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once teen drivers turn 16 and have held a learner\u2019s permit for at least six months, they can apply for a provisional license in California. This license allows them to drive without supervision for the first year, but with certain restrictions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Driver\u2019s License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To obtain a full driver\u2019s license, teen drivers must be between 16 and 18 years old and have held a provisional instruction permit for at least six months. They must have completed driver education and six hours of professional driving practice. They must also complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving, including at least 10 hours at night, with a California-licensed driver 25 years or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driving test consists of two parts: a pre-drive safety check and a driving performance evaluation (DPE). The safety check ensures the vehicle meets the minimum DMV safety standards and that the teen is familiar with the operation of the vehicle. The driving performance evaluation assesses driving skills and the ability to follow traffic laws and safe driving practices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-notice align wp-block-dklaw-notice has-background has-primary-beige-background-color\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that a teen driver with a learner\u2019s permit cannot drive alone. They must be accompanied by a licensed driver 25 years old or older in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restrictions for Teen Drivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each state has its own <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archive\/victimcompensation\/law_ca.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrongful death statute<\/span><\/a>,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which dictates who can file a wrongful death lawsuit. In California, the following people may seek compensation:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per California\u2019s statute of limitations, a wrongful death suit must be filed within two years of your family member&#8217;s death. After this deadline passes, you will lose the right to seek compensation through a wrongful death suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cell Phone Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under California law, teens cannot use a cell phone or any other wireless electronic communication device while driving, even with a hands-free device, unless it is for calling emergency services. This&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/myths-about-distracted-driving\/\">prevents distractions<\/a> and accidents that could endanger them and others on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passengers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first 12 months, teens with a provisional driver&#8217;s license cannot transport passengers under 20 years old unless a parent, guardian, or licensed driver over 25 years old is in the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curfew<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first 12 months, teens cannot drive between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they have a valid reason and a signed note from a parent or guardian. This is to limit exposure to dangerous driving situations and impaired drivers, which are more common at night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DUI Laws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving with any amount of alcohol in your blood is illegal for anyone under 21 in California. The legal limit for a teen driver under 21 is 0.01% BAC, and the penalties include a one-year license suspension, fines, and mandatory education programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Penalties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are penalties for violating these restrictions. If a teen driver accumulates two or more points in one year, they will face an immediate 30-day restriction on their license. If a teen accumulates three or more points, they will receive a six-month suspension and one-year probation. Fines, community service, and other consequences can also result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penalties can also affect a teen&#8217;s insurance, as auto insurance companies will look at a teen&#8217;s record and determine whether they received any violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exceptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few exceptions to these restrictions as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Medical necessity:<\/strong> Requires a doctor\u2019s note<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Family member necessity:<\/strong> Requires a note signed by a parent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>School necessity:<\/strong> Requires a note signed by the school principal or dean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employment necessity:<\/strong> Requires a note from the employer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An emancipated minor must show the DMV their California Insurance Proof Certificate along with emancipation court orders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January is Teen Driving Awareness Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>January is Teen Driving Awareness Month, which aims to educate teens and their parents to prevent traffic crashes and fatalities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/teen-drivers\/about\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C.D.C.)<\/a>, around eight teens ages 13 to 19 die every day from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. A lack of experience and engaging in risky behaviors, such as speeding, make teens more dangerous behind the wheel.

They cannot drive alone at any age under 16. The earliest a teen can obtain a learner&#8217;s permit is 15\u00bd years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you drive alone at 16 in California?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but with restrictions. At 16, teens can drive alone with a provisional license if they&#8217;ve held a permit for 6 months and completed all requirements. However, they cannot drive between 11 PM &#8211; 5 AM or transport passengers under 20 for the first 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the driving curfew for 16 year olds in California?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>16 year olds with a provisional license cannot drive between 11 PM and 5 AM for the first 12 months unless they have a valid reason (medical, school, work, or family necessity) with a signed note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the driving curfew for 17 year olds in California?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>17 year olds follow the same curfew as 16 year olds if they&#8217;re still within their first 12 months of having a provisional license (11 PM &#8211; 5 AM). After 12 months with a provisional license, the curfew restriction is lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When can teens drive friends in California?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teens must wait 12 months after getting their provisional license before transporting passengers under 20 without adult supervision. This means most teens can drive friends alone starting at age 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do driving restrictions apply after turning 18?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, all provisional license restrictions automatically end when a driver turns 18, even if they haven&#8217;t held the license for 12 months.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact an Accident Lawyer&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>No parent should have to worry about their child being involved in a car accident. However, even the safest teen driver can get into an accident. For legal guidance, consult with a car accident lawyer.
