Except as provided in the following subdivisions and in subsection (c) of this section, no driver's license may be issued for less than three years or for more than seven years and shall be valid for a period of five years, expiring on the licensee's birthday in a year in which the licensee's age is evenly divisible by five.
          (2) Every driver's license issued to a person who has not attained his or her twenty-first birthday shall expire thirty days after the licensee's twenty-first birthday, except as provided in section three-a of this article.
