What is a JOL license in Massachusetts?

A Junior Operator License (JOL) in Massachusetts is specifically designed for drivers aged 16.5 to 18 years old. This license allows young drivers to operate a motor vehicle under certain restrictions aimed at promoting safety and responsible driving. JOL holders must adhere to specific rules, such as limitations on night driving and passenger restrictions, to help them gain experience while minimizing risks associated with driving at a young age.

The other options do not accurately capture the definition or eligibility criteria for a JOL. The JOL is unique to a particular age range, and it is not applicable to all drivers under 21 or to motorcycle operators. Additionally, a standard driver's license is available for all ages and does not have the same restrictions as a Junior Operator License.
