What is a provisional license?

A provisional license is a temporary or intermediate driving permit issued to new drivers, typically teenagers or individuals learning to drive. It allows the holder to practice driving under certain restrictions, such as limits on nighttime driving, passenger numbers, or mandatory supervision by a licensed adult. These restrictions help new drivers gain experience and develop safe driving habits before qualifying for a full, unrestricted driver's license. The requirements and conditions for a provisional license vary by state or country.
