The first license new drivers receive is a:

  1. Learner’s license ✓
  2. Class 5 license
  3. Class 6 license
  4. Class 1 license

Answer: A. Learner’s license

The first licence new drivers receive is a learner’s licence, issued as a Class 7L licence.

Why this is the answer

The handbook passage on getting your learner’s licence says plainly that the first licence new drivers receive is a learner’s licence. It explains that after you pass the knowledge test and a vision and medical screening, you are issued a Class 7L licence and an L sign. That directly matches the learner’s licence choice. The other licence classes named in the options are not described in the passages as the first licence a new driver receives.

Why the other answers are wrong

Remember it

Think L for the licence that comes first: Learner.
