H.T.A Section 31 A & B A. The privilege of driving on a highway is granted to, and retained by, only those
persons who demonstrate that they are likely to drive safe.
B. Full driving privileges are granted to novice and probationary drivers only after
they acquire experience and develop or improve safe driving skills in controlled
