Welcome
On July 1, 1999, Maryland implemented laws commonly referred to as "The Rookie Driver", Graduated Licensing System."
These laws apply to all non-commercial driver license applicants, regardless of age, who have never held a license in Maryland or any other state for less than 18 months. The program requires novice drivers to gain more driving experience with a supervising driver and gradually move up through the licensing process until full license status if achieved.
Under the graduated licensing system, non-commercial license applicants, who have never held a drivers license must progress through three licensing levels:
Level 1 - Learners Permit
Level 2 - Provisional License
Level 3 - Full License
Licensed and Certified Driving School
