At what age can you receive a full, unrestricted Maryland driver's license?

A full, unrestricted Maryland driver's license can be obtained at 18 years of age. At this age, individuals are considered adults under Maryland law, which allows them to drive without the restrictions placed on provisional licenses. Prior to turning 18, drivers must typically hold a learner’s permit for at least nine months and then transition to a provisional license at 16 or 17, which imposes certain limitations such as legal driving hours and passenger restrictions. These measures are designed to ensure that young drivers gain sufficient experience before receiving full driving privileges. This is why the correct answer is the age at which the transition to a full license occurs, offering complete freedom in driving without any restrictions.
