Teenage & Adult Driver Responsibility Act other words known a TADRA is a graduated driver license program for individuals under the age of 18. Owing to a high incidence of fatal accidents involving teenagers, the state of Georgia, in 1997 passed the TADRA Act. This Law divided Driver’s license into 3 categories: The Instructional Permit or Class CP; The Provisional License or Class D; and the full adult class C. The Lawmakers identified lack of experience and inadequate training among other causes, as the major reasons why our young children are so involved in rampant and fatal car crashes. This law requires that one has to be at least 15 years old to obtain a Learner License. Learner License must be kept for at least one year plus one day in order to be eligible for road Test. (12 months and 1 day or 18th Birthday, whichever comes first).
Effective January 1, 2007, the State of Georgia, in its quest and effort to make our teens’ driving experience, a safe and educated one, enacted the Joshua’s law. This law in addition to the TADRA law requires 16 year olds to take a 30-hour driver education course from a licensed school or approved online course; and additional 40 hours of supervised driving including 6 hours of night driving, before they can obtain a class D – provisional license.
