Detailed Explanation

Connecticut's Graduated Driver License program restricts learner's permit holders to only a driving instructor or a parent/legal guardian as a passenger during the first 6 months. After that, additional family members become eligible. Friends and non-family passengers remain prohibited until the full license is obtained.
