A breakdown of the steps required for a teen to get their driver's license in Michigan. The three licensing levels in GDL are: a supervised learner's license (Level 1 License), an intermediate license that limits passengers and unsupervised nighttime driving (Level 2 License), and a full-privilege driver's license (Level 3 License) issued after a teen driver has successfully completed all previous instruction and driving requirements.

In this part of the test, you will have to demonstrate your ability to drive safely in different traffic situations including city, residential and expressway driving. You are required to follow the examiner's instructions; the instructions will be given as far in advance as possible. During the whole test, you are required

• to wear your safety belt
• to obey all traffic signs, signals and laws
• to complete all traffic checks by moving your head
• to keep both hands on the steering wheel (unless shifting)
• to avoid accidents and moving violations

The examiner will score you on the following maneuvers:

• Left and right turns
• Going through intersections that involve stopping and then driving straight through
• Going through intersections that involve driving straight through without stopping
• Expressway or rural highway driving (lane changes required)
• Urban and residential driving (lane changes required)
• Avoiding collision (simulated head-on collision)
• Driving through curves
• Railroad crossing (actual or simulated)
• Turning a radio on and off while driving

Automatic Failures

You will fail the test automatically if you perform any of the following:

• refusal to perform a maneuver
• repeated failure to follow instructions
• not wearing a seat belt
• accident involvement or accident prevented by others
• traffic violations or hazardous actions
• failure to yield when required
• speeding
• following another vehicle too closely (one warning)
• passing a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing

Casino Employees/Occupational License Fees and Information

Michigan law requires many casino employees and employees of companies that supply goods and services to casinos to be licensed by the MGCB. You must first apply to the casino’s or the supplier’s Human Resources Department.The MGCB will not process an occupational license application without a written statement that the casino/supplier has or intends to hire you.
If you are hired or the casino/supplier company extends you an employment offer, you must complete an occupational license application for submission to the MGCB. The casino/supplier will have more information regarding application procedures.

Upon receipt of the application and fee, the MGCB will conduct a background investigation of each applicant and determine whether an occupational license will be issued. Background investigations may take several weeks depending on the license level and complexity of the investigation. Your application must be accompanied by an application fee (see chart below).

Temporary Occupational License

The MGCB may issue a temporary occupational license if a preliminary review of the application and a computerized criminal history check do not indicate any discrepancies that could result in denial. Temporary licenses are valid from the date of issue until an occupational license is granted. The MGCB may renew a temporary license if no disqualifying information is revealed during the investigation.

Denial

The MGCB will deny an occupational license if you have been convicted of:

• Any felony

• A misdemeanor involving gambling, theft, dishonesty or fraud

You also may be denied a license if the MGCB determines you are not suitable due to your integrity, moral character or reputation.
