Georgia Graduated Driver's Licensing (GDL) Process

  • A provisional license (Class D) can be upgraded to a Class C license at 18 years old.
  • The individual must have held a valid Class D license for at least 12 months without any major traffic violations or suspensions.
  • If an individual under 21 years old is convicted of certain traffic offenses, their license will be suspended for a period of 6 months for a first offense, or 12 months for a second or subsequent offense.
  • These offenses include hit and run, racing on highways or streets, reckless driving, aggressive driving, using a motor vehicle to flee a police officer, underage possession of alcohol while operating a motor vehicle, and any other offense for which 4 or more points are assessed against the driver's license.
  • If an individual under 21 years old accumulates 4 or more points against their driver's license in any 12-month period, their license will be suspended.
  • In Georgia, individuals under 21 years old are presumed to be DUI if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .02 or greater.
  • If a driver under 21 years old has a BAC of .02 or greater, but less than .08, their license will be suspended for a minimum of 6 months.
  • A second DUI will result in an 18-month suspension with restrictions during the final 12 months.
  • A third DUI will lead to a 5-year revocation of the driver's license and the driver being declared a habitual violator.

Traffic Laws and Safe Driving

  • Front seat passengers must be restrained by a seat safety belt approved under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208.
  • Passengers under 8 years old must be properly restrained in a child passenger restraining system appropriate for their height and weight.
  • Children under 1 year or up to 20 pounds should be in a rear-facing infant seat.
  • Toddlers up to 4 years or 40 pounds can be in a forward-facing car seat.
  • Children ages 4-8, between 40 and 80 pounds, should be in a booster seat.

  • When steering, maintain a good posture with hands at the 8 and 4 o'clock position on the steering wheel.
  • Keep both hands on the wheel unless performing a safe driving-related task.
  • Driving at night can impair vision and make it difficult to judge size, speed, color, and distance of objects.
  • Reduce speed and increase following distance at night.
  • Speeding reduces a driver's ability to steer safely, extends the stopping distance, and increases the distance a vehicle travels during a driver's reaction time.
  • Always be aware of your speed and the speed limit.
  • Distracted driving, such as talking on the phone, texting, adjusting the stereo system, or having passengers, can cause accidents.
  • Drivers under 18 years old with a Class D license or learner's permit are prohibited from using any wireless device while driving.

  • Maintain at least a 3-second space margin between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
  • Increase the distance during inclement weather or hazardous road conditions.
  • When stopping behind another vehicle, position your vehicle so you can see the back tires of the car in front of you.
  • Underage drinking is defined as consuming alcohol before reaching the minimum drinking age of 21 years.
  • Alcohol consumption is linked to unintentional injuries, physical fights, academic and occupational problems, illegal behavior, and fatalities.
