You are under 18 years of age and have had your license for eight months. You may drive:
- At any time.
- Between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. ✓
- Between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Answer: B. Between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m.
You may drive between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says a provisional driver under 18 may not drive in the late-night period from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the first 12 months after getting the license. Eight months in, that restriction still applies. Outside that nighttime window, the provisional license does not impose the hour limit described here, so driving from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. fits the rule. The answer is the time range that is not barred.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. At any time. — Driving at any time ignores the late-night restriction that applies during the first 12 months for drivers under 18.
- C. Between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. — The 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. range is narrower than the handbook rule; it cuts off driving that the provisional restriction does not prohibit.
Remember it
Set a reminder for 11 p.m., because that is when the nighttime restriction begins for new provisional drivers.
