Graduated licensing is a system that allows new motorcycle riders to gradually gain experience and develop their skills over time, rather than being given full riding privileges immediately. It typically involves a multi-stage process, in which riders must pass a series of tests or meet certain requirements at each stage before progressing to the next. The stages of the graduated licensing program may include a learner’s permit stage, during which riders are allowed to practice riding under the supervision of a licensed rider; an intermediate stage, during which riders are subject to certain restrictions such as a curfew or a ban on carrying passengers; and a full license stage, after which riders have no restrictions on their riding. The goal of graduated licensing is to reduce the number of accidents involving novice motorcycle riders.
Texas does not use graduated licensing though we think it would be a great idea!
