Rules for teen drivers loosened in new law
LANSING (AP) -- Teens with so-called "Level 2" graduated driver's licenses will be allowed to drive between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. if they're going to school-related functions or other authorized activities under legislation signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The governor's office said last Thursday that Snyder signed the bill the day before.
The measure expands the exceptions to restrictions contained in a new state law that took effect earlier this year. The changes would allow those with Level 2 licenses to drive to school-sanctioned programs, church functions and some other extracurricular events.
That would add to current exceptions allowing teens to drive to work during those hours.
The graduated license program increases privileges as young drivers grow older and gain experience. It ends when they turn 18.
