At age 16, you can finally graduate up to having a provisional license if you have displayed good driving behavior, completed 30 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, had your permit for at least six months, and passed the driving test. A provisional license will allow you to finally drive by yourself. However, you still can’t drive between midnight and 5 a.m., you can’t drive with more than one passenger under 21 years old, and you cannot use a cell phone (even with a headset) except in the event of an emergency. These restrictions will be lifted after one year of good driving on your provisional license, or when you turn 18.
