What is the curfew for teen drivers in Maryland?

I have a daughter who’s about to turn 16. On her birthday, she wants to go to the DMV to get her license. I’m excited for her, but I’m also scared about her driving at night once she’s licensed. Does Maryland have a curfew for teen drivers?

Pass along a happy birthday to your daughter! Once she’s 16, she gets a little slice of freedom, but Maryland doesn’t give her full driving privileges.
The curfew for teen drivers in
Maryland
is from midnight to 5 a.m. This is enforced until she’s 18 and can legally get an unrestricted license.
She’s also not allowed to have a passenger in the car for the first five months of driving. This goes a long way to limit distractions and make sure she’s concentrating on the road.
But if you’re not satisfied with Maryland’s teen driving restrictions, you can always make your own. Talk about your concerns with your daughter, let her voice her opinion, and hopefully, you can come to a satisfactory curfew agreement.
For added peace of mind, make sure your teen driver has great car insurance. The
