What is the main restriction during Phase Two of the GDL program?

During Phase Two of the Graduated Driver License (GDL) program in Texas, the main restriction is that driving privileges are restricted until the individual turns 18. This phase is designed to provide young drivers with increased driving experience while still enforcing certain limitations to promote safety.

In this phase, the holder of a provisional license must demonstrate responsible driving behavior during a set period. While they are allowed to drive with passengers, there are restrictions on the number of non-family members who can accompany them in the vehicle. This approach aims to help young drivers develop their skills in a controlled environment before granting full, unrestricted driving privileges once they reach adulthood, thus enhancing overall road safety.

Options such as driving only during daylight hours, having no passengers allowed, or restrictions on speed limits do not accurately represent the primary focus of Phase Two, which centers around the age restriction for full driving privileges and the careful monitoring of the young driver's actions on the road.
