At age 15, teens enrolled in a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program can apply for a learner license in the state of Texas. During the process teens first obtain a “learner license”. Texas teens start learning how to drive through a multi-stage procedure.
It is imperative that both parents and teens understand the restrictions placed on teen drivers and the penalties involved with violating a restriction. As a category of accidents, motor vehicle traffic accidents comprise 73% and is the leading cause of death to teenagers.Īs such, in Texas there are additional driving laws that teens must adhere to which are specifically designed to reduce the number of teen car accident deaths. Accidents account for nearly one-half of all teenage deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Health Statistics, the five leading causes of death among teenagers are Accidents (unintentional injuries – 48%), homicide (13%), suicide (11%), cancer (6%), and heart disease (3%). However, teen drivers have more laws and restrictions to follow than any other age group, and with good reason. Of course, all drivers must obey all of the laws and restrictions when they operate a motor vehicle on a public roadway.
