Under what circumstances may you lend your driver's license to another person?
- To a person who is learning to drive
- To a person who needs some ID
- Never ✓
- To a person who has lost their own license
Answer: C. Never
You may never lend your driver's licence to another person.
Why this is the answer
The official handbook lists lending your licence among the illegal acts, along with letting someone else use it. The rule is stated without exceptions, so none of the listed reasons creates a permitted case. It also forbids using another licence as your own, which reinforces that a licence is for the person it was issued to. That supports the answer that lending it is never allowed.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. To a person who is learning to drive — Lending it to a learner is still lending your licence, and the handbook lists lending a licence as illegal with no learner exception.
- B. To a person who needs some ID — Letting someone use it as ID is letting another person use your licence, which the handbook says is illegal.
- D. To a person who has lost their own license — Someone who lost their licence cannot use yours, because using another licence as your own is illegal and you cannot lend it.
Remember it
Treat your licence like your signature: it stays with you and is never passed to someone else.
