Other than a warning letter from the Secretary of State, what else happens if I get a traffic ticket during the permit phase or initial licensing phase of the graduated driver license program?
Effective January 1, 2008, a driver must remain free of traffic convictions during the entire nine-month permit phase. If the driver is convicted of a traffic offense during this time, he/she will not move to the initial licensing phase until he/she is free of traffic convictions for a full nine months or until age 18, whichever occurs first. If the conviction is received by the Secretary of State’s office after the driver has moved to the initial licensing phase, the driver will be remanded back to the permit phase. A letter will be sent to the driver and the parents indicating the change in driving status. Drivers in the initial licensing phase (usually drivers ages 16 and 17), must remain conviction free for the final six months before moving to the next phase. If a new driver receives a conviction during this six-month period, he/she will not be able to move to the next phase of the program until he/she is conviction-free for a full six months or until age 21, whichever occurs firs
