In the state of Alabama, a driver may be a minimum of 17 years old to receive their full Driver License. A driver must be at least 15 years old to get a Learner License and at least 16 years old to obtain a Restricted License. To work up to full driving privileges, minors are required to go through a gradual licensing process with several levels of driving practice. A driver should be aware of any restrictions that are placed on their type of license, such as the number of passengers allowed in their vehicle at one time and whether or not they are allowed to drive during nighttime hours.
