How many non-family passengers under 21 can a driver with a Provisional License have?

A driver with a Provisional License in Texas is allowed to have one non-family passenger under the age of 21. This restriction is in place to help new drivers gain experience without the additional distractions that multiple passengers can bring. The focus during the provisional period is on safety and developing better driving habits.

This regulatory measure also reflects the statistical data on teen driving and passenger presence, indicating that having fewer passengers can lead to safer driving conditions. The law acknowledges that family members are generally viewed as more supportive and responsible, thus allowing them while placing limits on non-family passengers.
