When may a person use a provisional license in Georgia?

A provisional license in Georgia allows drivers who are at least 16 years old to operate a vehicle while under certain restrictions. To qualify for this provisional license, an individual must first hold a Class CP (learner's permit) license for a specified period, during which they must complete the required driving hours to gain experience and demonstrate their driving capability.

This process ensures that the individual has adequately practiced driving under the guidance of a licensed adult before being permitted to drive unsupervised with a provisional license. Once the person has met these requirements, they are eligible to transition to a provisional license, which grants them more driving privileges than a learner's permit, yet still includes some restrictions, such as limitations on passengers and nighttime driving.

The other choices do not align with the requirements for obtaining a provisional license, as they either refer to stages that do not involve the necessary experience, age requirements unrelated to the provisional license, or imply an immediate transition that does not consider the prerequisite holding period of the learner's permit.
