Stricter Teen Driving Rules to Go Into Effect in Michigan
Michigan is preparing to enact new restrictions on teen drivers-in-training.
Law enforcement, insurance and education leaders gathered in East Lansing this week to explain the requirements that take effect March 30.
The new legislation limits how many passengers drivers with level 2 intermediate licenses can carry. They won’t be allowed to have more than one unrelated passenger under age 21 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian or they are driving to and from school events.
The law also prohibits new teen drivers from getting behind the wheel between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are driving to or from work. The previous law allowed them to drive until midnight.
The provisions update the state’s graduated driver’s license program, which was enacted in 1996.
