Continue your preparation with this second free test, which emphasizes common driving situations and traffic signals.

South Carolina GDL Program
The GDL program is a three-stage process for new drivers under 17. It begins with a Beginner’s Permit at age 15, which requires a licensed driver (21+) in the front seat and has time restrictions. You must hold the permit for at least 180 days before progressing.
The next stage is the Conditional License, available at age 15.5 after passing a road test. This allows unsupervised driving from 6 a.m. to midnight, with passenger restrictions. After one year with a clean record, you can obtain a Special Restricted License, which leads to a full, unrestricted license after another year.
