New-driver rules in Georgia

Georgia licenses teens through TADRA, a three-step graduated program: a Class CP instructional permit at 15, a Class D provisional license at 16-17 after holding the permit 12 months and a day, and a full Class C license at 18. Joshua's Law requires drivers under 18 to complete a state-approved driver education course (minimum 30 hours of classroom instruction plus behind-the-wheel training) and 40 hours of supervised driving, 6 of them at night. Class D holders may not drive between 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m., carry only immediate family as passengers for the first six months, then one non-family passenger under 21 for the next six months, and no more than three thereafter.
