At what age can a person legally obtain a full New Jersey driver's license after provisional licensing?

A person can legally obtain a full New Jersey driver's license after completing the provisional licensing stage at the age of 18. In New Jersey, the graduated licensing system allows individuals to hold a provisional license from the age of 17 after meeting certain requirements, including passing the driving test and adhering to specific restrictions.

Once the driver reaches the age of 18, they are eligible to transition from a provisional license to a full, unrestricted driver's license, assuming they have completed the necessary probationary period and have not violated any licensing laws during that time. This full license enables them to drive without the constraints that come with a provisional license, marking the final step in the graduated licensing process.

This structured approach helps ensure that young drivers gain sufficient experience and skills before obtaining full driving privileges, contributing to overall road safety.
