the director shall issue, an intermediate driver's license entitling
the applicant, while having such license in his or her possession,
to operate a motor vehicle of the appropriate class upon the highways
of this State in conjunction with the requirements of this Section.
An intermediate driver's license shall be readily distinguishable
from a license issued to those over the age of eighteen (18). All
applicants for an intermediate driver's license shall:
1.
Successfully complete the examination
required by Section 302.173, RSMo.;

guardian or, if the applicant is a participant in a Federal residential
job training program, a driving instructor employed by a Federal residential
job training program, sign the application stating that the applicant
has completed at least forty (40) hours of supervised driving experience
under a temporary instruction permit issued pursuant to Subsection
(1) of Section 302.130, RSMo., or, if the applicant is an emancipated
minor, the person over twenty-one (21) years of age who supervised
such driving. For purposes of this Section, the term "emancipated
minor" means a person who is at least sixteen (16) years of age but

contacts as defined in Section 302.525, RSMo., during the preceding
twelve (12) months; and
6.
Have no non-alcoholic traffic convictions
for which points are assessed pursuant to Section 302.302, RSMo.,
within the preceding six (6) months.
B.
An intermediate driver's license grants
the licensee the same privileges to operate that classification of
motor vehicle as a license issued pursuant to Section 302.177, RSMo.,
except that no person shall operate a motor vehicle on the highways
of this State under such an intermediate driver's license between
the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. unless accompanied by a person
described in Subsection (1) of Section 302.130, RSMo., except the
licensee may operate a motor vehicle without being accompanied if
the travel is to or from a school or educational program or activity,
a regular place of employment or in emergency situations as defined
by the director by regulation.
C.
Each intermediate driver's license shall
be restricted by requiring that the driver and all passengers in the
licensee's vehicle wear safety belts at all times. This safety belt
restriction shall not apply to a person operating a motorcycle. For
the first six (6) months after issuance of the intermediate driver's
license, the holder of the license shall not operate a motor vehicle
with more than one (1) passenger who is under the age of nineteen
(19) who is not a member of the holder's immediate family. As used
in this Subsection, an intermediate driver's license holder's immediate
family shall include brothers, sisters, stepbrothers or stepsisters
of the driver, including adopted or foster children residing in the
same household of the intermediate driver's license holder. After
the expiration of the first six (6) months, the holder of an intermediate
driver's license shall not operate a motor vehicle with more than
three (3) passengers who are under nineteen (19) years of age and
who are not members of the holder's immediate family. The passenger
restrictions of this Subsection shall not be applicable to any intermediate
driver's license holder who is operating a motor vehicle being used
in agricultural work-related activities.
D.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
302.177, RSMo., to the contrary, the fee for an intermediate driver's
license shall be five dollars ($5.00) and such license shall be valid
for a period of two (2) years.
E.
Any intermediate driver's licensee accumulating
six (6) or more points in a twelve-month period may be required to

approved by the State Highways and Transportation Commission. The
driver improvement program ordered by the Director of Revenue shall
not be used in lieu of point assessment.
F.

which points are assessed, upon reaching the age of eighteen (18)
years or within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding their 18th
birthday may apply for and receive without further examination, other
than a vision test as prescribed by Section 302.173, RSMo., a license
issued pursuant to this Chapter granting full driving privileges.
Such person shall pay the required fee for such license as prescribed

license if such offense occurred within five (5) business days immediately
following an expiration date that occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday.

The Director of Revenue shall deny an application for a full driver's license until the person has had no traffic convictions for which points are assessed for a period of twelve (12) months prior to the date of application for license or until the person is eligible to apply for a six-year driver's license as provided for in Section 302.177, RSMo., provided the applicant is otherwise eligible for full driving privileges. An intermediate driver's license shall expire when the licensee is eligible and receives a full driver's license as prescribed in Subsection (A) of this Section.

(18) years whose intermediate driver's license and driving privilege
is denied, suspended, canceled or revoked in this State or any other

whose intermediate driver's license has been revoked pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 302.010 to 302.540, RSMo., shall, upon receipt
of reinstatement of the revocation from the director, pass the complete
driver examination, apply for a new license and pay the proper fee
