Question about New Connecticut Teen Driving Laws?

I emailed the CT DMV Teen Taskforcewhatever the same question, my 6 month restrictions end on April 31. So basically I can drive non family members for 3 months until the new restrictions apply- then loose them for 3 months until the end of October, when I gain them back again.

I explained this in my email and all I got back was a rude "Thank you for your email" and a link to the same DMV page I've been studying for days.

I would be happy to pass along any other (helpful) responses that I get; it seems that we're stuck in the same pickle.
