Which term describes the final stage in the GDL program?

In Nova Scotia’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system, driving privileges are phased to build experience with rules that tighten as you gain time behind the wheel. The last step before you can be considered a fully independent driver is the restricted stage. During this phase, you must follow specific restrictions (like limits on passengers, nighttime driving, and other rules) to keep new drivers safe while they gain experience. That status—being in the final GDL phase and driving under those restrictions—is described as a restricted driver. The other terms refer to earlier stages or the final goal (being a fully licensed driver) rather than the current, last step of the GDL process.
