What every parent should know about the Saskatchewan Graduated Driver’s Licensing Program (GDL)
September is among us and with it, a new season. This transition often brings a change in all of us. One of these is a number of new drivers completing their driver training course. These new drivers gain a new freedom (Yee Haw)!! What are often overlooked are the responsibilities that come with this new found freedom.
A number of Henderson’s clients, friends and parents have young adults who have just completed or will soon complete the driver training program. I therefore began to wonder and ask people, especially parents with young drivers, what they understood about the current Saskatchewan Graduated Driver’s Licensing Program (GDL). I guess I wasn’t really surprised when the response was “I know nothing”; “what’s a graduated driver’s license program”; “yeah I know there is some kind of rules or guidelines”. Well parents, there is a program and it comes with some driving restrictions and consequences for new drivers that we should all be aware of.
