1. Learner's Permit: Must drive with a fully licensed, adult supervisor (typically 21+ years old) in the front seat at all times.
2. Intermediate: No unsupervised driving during high-risk hours (e.g., late night/early morning, usually 10 PM to 5 AM) and limits on the number of teen passengers.
3. Full License: No restrictions beyond standard traffic laws for all licensed drivers.
