GDL restrictions — South Carolina Permit Test

With a conditional or special restricted license you may drive alone from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., or until 8 p.m. during daylight saving time.

Daylight hours give a new driver the best view of the road and fewer impaired or tired drivers around them.

You may drive alone from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (8 p.m. during daylight savings time).

During daylight saving time, a conditional or special restricted license holder may drive alone until 8 p.m.

The later limit follows the later sunset, so the rule still keeps unsupervised driving to daylight.

You may drive alone from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (8 p.m. during daylight savings time).

From 6 p.m. (8 p.m. in daylight saving time) to midnight, a conditional or special restricted license holder may drive only with a licensed driver who is at least 21.

Evening driving brings darkness and more risk, so an experienced adult must be in the car until the teen has more practice.

You may drive with a licensed driver, who is at least 21, from 6 p.m. (8 p.m. during daylight savings time) to midnight.

With a conditional or special restricted license you cannot carry more than 2 passengers under 21 unless a licensed adult who is at least 21 is with you.

Each young passenger adds distraction and peer pressure, and crash risk for teen drivers climbs with every one.

You cannot have more than two passengers under 21 in the vehicle with you unless you are with a licensed adult who is at least 21.

The only exception to the passenger limit is transporting family members or students to and from school.

Families and school runs are routine, short trips, so the limit does not stop a teen from doing them.

The only exception is if you are transporting family members or students to and from school.

If you are under 17 and receive 6 or more points before holding your license for 1 year, your license will be suspended.

A new driver piling up violations early is showing exactly the habits that lead to crashes, so the response is swift.

If you are under 17 and receive six or more points on your record before you have held your license for one year, your license will be suspended for six months.

A driver under 17 who receives 6 or more points in the first year of holding a license is suspended for 6 months.

A long suspension takes the riskiest new drivers off the road long enough for the lesson to land.

If you are under 17 and receive six or more points on your record before you have held your license for one year, your license will be suspended for six months.
