Maryland’s graduated licensing system (GLS) moves new drivers from a learner’s permit to a provisional license and, ultimately, a full license. 10A Driving School Silver Spring provides practical instruction based on GLS requirements.
The Driver’s Education program includes 30 hours of online instruction and 6 hours of in-car lessons for $365. Additional private practice for 2 hours and MVA test escort services cost $110 each.
Maryland’s GLS has three stages: learner’s permit, provisional license, and full license. The permit stage builds driving experience, while the provisional stage leads toward greater independence. Holding a permit does not automatically qualify someone for a provisional license.
Eligibility means meeting Maryland’s requirements for the next licensing stage. Readiness means consistently applying skills such as checking surroundings, managing speed, and responding calmly to traffic. Use the applicable requirements to identify the learner’s next step.
- Licensing stage: Record whether the learner holds a permit or provisional license to ensure education and practice meet MVA requirements.
- Instruction: Track completed driver education and lessons to identify what has been covered and what still needs attention.
- Driving skills: Note areas needing practice, such as turns, lane changes, and parking, to guide future instruction.
