GDL program requires young drivers to progress through a series of licensing stages. Typically these programs have three stages: learner's permit stage, intermediate license stage, and the full-privilege stage.

answer

Graduated Driver Licensing Program:

question

Supervised conditions require that - the learner receives a permit to drive when supervised by an adult, licensed driver - the permit must be held for a minimum period - usually six months - of violation-free and collision-free driving - other licensed drivers, such as family members, may be asked to provide a minimum number of hours of practive driving

answer

Learner's Permit Stage:

question

A CM is the best way to eliminate blind spots. They are attached to each outside mirrors. The surface of a CM is curved outward like the exterior of a ball, which allows a wider view of the area to the side and rear of the vehicle. When you see something that is in both the flat and convex mirror, you should judge its position to your vehicle by use of the flat mirror. When you can see something in the convex mirror, but not in the flat mirror, then it is in the blind-spot area. It will be unsafe to move into its path.
