====Driver training====
Drivers may be required to take lessons with an approved [[driving instructor]] (or are strongly encouraged to do so) and must pass a [[driving test]] before being granted a license. Almost all countries allow all adults with good vision and health to apply to take a driving test and, if successful, to drive on public roads.

In many countries, even after passing one's driving test, new drivers are initially subject to special restrictions under [[graduated driver licensing]] rules. For example, in Australia, novice drivers are required to carry "P" ("provisional") plates,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://roads-waterways.transport.nsw.gov.au/geared/your_licence/keeping_your_licence/rules_for_l_and_p_plate_drivers.html|title=Restrictions for L and P plate drivers – Keeping your licence – Your licence – GEARED|website=Geared – Transport for NSW|date=16 August 2021 }}</ref> while in [[New Zealand]] it is called restricted (R).<ref>{{cite web|title=Conditions and restrictions of a restricted licence|url=https://www.drivingtests.co.nz/roadcode-questions/car/theory/if-you-have-a-restricted-license-what-ho/|website=Driving Tests}}</ref> Many U.S. states now issue graduated drivers' licenses to novice minors. While graduated driver licensing rules vary between jurisdictions, typical restrictions include newly licensed minors not being permitted to drive or operate a motorized vehicle at night or with a passenger other than family members, zero blood alcohol, and limited [[power-to-weight ratio]] of the vehicle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/license_laws.html |title=Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Laws |date=July 2012|access-date =2012-07-22 }}</ref>
