What are the hours that a GDL learner's permit holder is not allowed to drive?

The restriction on driving hours for a GDL (Graduated Driver License) learner's permit holder in New Jersey explicitly prohibits driving between 11:01 PM and 5:00 AM. This rule is part of the GDL program designed to enhance safety for new drivers, as nighttime driving can present additional challenges due to reduced visibility and the likelihood of encountering impaired drivers.

By restricting driving during these hours, the system aims to reduce the risk of accidents among inexperienced drivers who may not yet be accustomed to handling vehicles in challenging conditions. This rule is particularly vital for learner permit holders, who are still in the process of developing their driving skills and gaining experience on the road.
