A Maryland driver first obtained a provisional license at age 16 years and 6 months. With an uninterrupted qualifying record, when can the driver first reach the minimum age and provisional period for a full license?

Correct answer: At age 18, after 18 months with the provisional license.

Why

A full license requires a minimum age of 18 and completion of the applicable provisional period, ordinarily 18 months. Qualifying violations or probation before judgment can restart the required period; suspension or revocation also affects eligibility. Credited out-of-state experience has its own rules. This example assumes the driver’s first license was the Maryland provisional license and the qualifying record remains uninterrupted.
