Under what circumstances may you lend your driver's license to another?
- To another person who is learning to drive
- For identification purpose only
- Never ✓
- In case of emergencies
Answer: C. Never
You may never lend your driver's licence to anyone else.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's licence chapter lists lending your licence to anyone else among the things you must not do, alongside using an invalid licence and altering your licence. The same section explains why: a driver's licence is widely accepted as trusted identification, and a licence that is stolen, scanned or faked can be used to commit crimes such as fraud or identity theft. So the rule is a flat never, not a limited permission for learners, emergencies or showing ID.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. To another person who is learning to drive — Handing your licence to a learner is still lending it to someone else, which the handbook says not to do.
- B. For identification purpose only — The handbook treats lending the licence as prohibited outright, and it does not carve out an exception for identification purposes.
- D. In case of emergencies — The handbook's list contains no emergency exception; lending the licence is simply listed as something not to do.
Remember it
Your licence is proof of who you are and what you may drive, so it stays in your own pocket, not in someone else's hands.
