What is the minimum age for a driver to qualify for a GDL?

16 years old
17 years old
15 years old
18 years old

The correct answer is: 16 years old

The minimum age for a driver to qualify for a Graduated Driver License (GDL) in Delaware is indeed 16 years old. This reflects the tiered approach to licensing that allows new drivers to gain experience and skills gradually while under less demanding conditions. At 16, individuals can obtain a learner's permit, which permits them to practice driving with an adult who has a valid driver's license in the vehicle. This system is designed to enhance safety by ensuring that inexperienced drivers have the opportunity to develop their driving abilities before obtaining full driving privileges. The age requirements for other options exceed the minimum age, making them unaligned with the state’s regulations regarding GDL. In Delaware, the GDL program combines education, supervised practice, and a restricted driving phase to reduce the risks associated with novice drivers, promoting better road safety for all.
