Prepare one topic at a time

Use these quizzes alongside the Alabama Driver Manual and the ALEA graduated licensing guidance. The goal is to understand each rule—not simply memorize answer positions.

Turn mistakes into progress

  • Read the current Alabama Driver Manual and official GDL guidance.
  • Start with General Knowledge before moving into focused topic tests.
  • Review why each wrong choice is unsafe or inconsistent with the rule.
  • Take the Full Mock Test only after strengthening weaker topics.

50 hours, or a driver education course — there is no middle ground

Alabama gives you a straight either/or before Stage II. Driver education fully replaces the 50 practice hours, and the hours fully replace the course. There is no partial credit for doing some of each.

01

Stage I — learner’s permit at 15

Pass the vision and written exams, based on the Alabama Driver Manual, with parental consent.

  • Held at least six months before Stage II
  • A parent or guardian, licensed driver aged 21+, or certified instructor in the front passenger seat
  • Proof of school enrolment or graduation required under 19
02

Stage II — restricted licence at 16

You bring Form DL-31 and one of these two:

  • The ALEA verification form signed by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian or certified driving instructor confirming 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice, or
  • A completion form from the State Department of Education for an SDE-approved driver education course
03

Stage II restrictions

You may drive unsupervised, but:

  • No more than one non-family passenger under 21, beyond a parent, guardian or supervising driver aged 21+
  • No driving between midnight and 6 a.m., with exceptions for work, school and emergencies
  • Stage III follows at 17, after six months on Stage II

Turning up to the Stage II application without the completed DL-31 documentation means being turned away, so start the practice log at the beginning of Stage I rather than reconstructing it later. Requirements reflect ALEA guidance and Alabama Code §32-6-7.2 — confirm current rules before applying.

Alabama learner permit and restricted licence FAQs

How many practice hours does Alabama require?

Fifty hours of behind-the-wheel practice, verified on an ALEA form signed by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian or certified driving instructor — unless you take the driver education route instead.

Can driver education replace the 50 hours?

Yes, entirely. Submitting a State Department of Education completion form for an SDE-approved driver education course satisfies the requirement in place of the 50 hours. There is no partial credit either way.

What is Form DL-31?

The Graduated Driver License form. It contains the parent or guardian permission section, the behind-the-wheel verification section and the driver education certificate of completion option, all in one document.

What are the three Alabama GDL stages?

Stage I is the learner’s permit at 15, Stage II the restricted licence at 16, and Stage III the unrestricted licence at 17. Each stage requires the previous one to have been held for at least six months.

Who can supervise me on a Stage I permit?

A parent or legal guardian, a licensed driver aged 21 or older, or a licensed or certified driving instructor, seated in the front passenger seat beside you.

How many passengers can I carry on a Stage II licence?

No more than one passenger who is not an immediate family member, not counting a parent, guardian, or supervising licensed driver aged 21 or older.

What is the Alabama night driving restriction?

Stage II drivers may not drive between midnight and 6 a.m., with exceptions including driving to or from work or a school event, and emergencies.

Do I need proof of school enrolment?

Applicants under 19 must show proof of school enrolment, graduation or a GED. Alabama ties licensing to school attendance for teen drivers.
