Alberta Written Drivers Learners Test Practice

The Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) system is designed to promote safer driving habits over time by gradually introducing new drivers to the complexities of driving. This system typically includes multiple stages, starting with a learner's permit that allows driving under specific conditions, followed by intermediate and full licensing stages, where restrictions are gradually lifted as the driver gains experience. By implementing this phased approach, new drivers can develop the necessary skills and knowledge while having the opportunity to learn in lower-risk environments. For example, during the learner stage, they may be required to drive with a licensed adult, minimizing the risk of accidents that can occur due to inexperience. Each stage may also involve specific driving restrictions, such as limitations on nighttime driving or the number of passengers, further enhancing safety. This focus on incremental learning and gradual exposure to driving challenges helps ensure that drivers are better prepared for the demands of the road by the time they receive their full license.
