Question Analysis

In New York State, a person under 18 who holds a driver's license or learner permit must have parental consent. This consent can be revoked by the parent or guardian who signed it, but only under specific conditions. According to the New York State Driver's Manual, a parent or guardian may revoke their consent at any time before the minor turns 18, provided the minor is not emancipated or married. The revocation must be done in writing and submitted to the DMV, and it results in the suspension of the minor's license or permit.

Correct Answer Analysis

Correct Answer: Yes, provided the person is not yet 18, is not emancipated or married

The correct answer is 'Yes, provided the person is not yet 18, is not emancipated or married.' This aligns with the DMV rule that parental consent can be revoked if the minor is under 18 and not emancipated or married. The revocation must be in writing and filed with the DMV, and it will suspend the minor's driving privileges.

Wrong Options Analysis

Option: Yes, provided both parents verbally agree to revoke consent at a registry

This is incorrect because the revocation must be in writing and submitted to the DMV, not just verbally agreed upon at a registry. Verbal agreement is not sufficient; the DMV requires a formal written revocation.

Option: No, once given it remains in effect until the person turns 18

This is incorrect because parental consent can be revoked before the minor turns 18, as long as the minor is not emancipated or married. The consent is not irrevocable.

Option: No, but another consent form must be signed by both parents

This is incorrect because the parent or guardian who originally gave consent can revoke it without needing to sign a new consent form. The revocation is a separate action, not a replacement of consent.
