During which licensing stage is night driving usually restricted?

The intermediate license stage is designed to provide new drivers with an opportunity to gain experience while still having some restrictions in place to promote safety. During this period, night driving is typically restricted because research shows that novice drivers are at a higher risk of accidents during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced and reaction times may be slower. The restrictions aim to limit exposure to potentially challenging driving conditions, thereby helping new drivers build their confidence and skills in less risky environments. After successfully demonstrating adequate driving skills and maturity, drivers can transition to a full-privilege license, at which point these nighttime restrictions usually no longer apply.
