A driver's license marked as "provisional" indicates that the license holder is under the age of what?

A driver's license marked as "provisional" is an indication that the license holder is typically under the age of 18. Provisional licenses are designed for young drivers who have met certain requirements, such as completing driver's education and passing a driving test, but are still learning to drive independently. The provisional status imposes certain restrictions, such as limitations on the number of passengers or curfews, aimed at ensuring safety as the new driver gains more experience behind the wheel.

This framework supports the gradual transition into full driving privileges, which usually occurs when the individual reaches 18 years of age, at which point they can receive a full, unrestricted driver's license.
