Under existing law, a driver may obtain a graduated license, including a Stage I-learner's permit, Stage II-regular driver's license with restrictions based on age, and Stage III-unrestricted driver's license. Also under existing law, a violation of the restriction of a Stage II licensee is a traffic violation, but no points may be assessed for the violation.
This bill would revise the penalties for a violation of the restrictions on a Stage II license, including revocation of the license and reversion to a Stage I license for a period of six months, would require the driver to revert to a Stage I license for a period of six months, would require the court to assess a fine of $250, plus court costs, and would provide for the assessment of two points.
This bill would also provide that a parent, legal guardian, or other adult who knowingly allows a driver with a Stage I or Stage II license to drive a motor vehicle in violation of applicable restrictions is subject to a fine of $500, plus court costs.
