When driving with a learner's permit, which requirement must be met?

• A. You may drive without a licensed driver
• B. You must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 25 or older and seated in the back seat
• C. You must have a licensed driver in the back seat
• D. You must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21 or older and seated in the front passenger seat

Answer: (D)

Supervised driving is required: a learner's permit holder must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21 years of age or older and seated in the front passenger seat. This setup ensures an experienced adult is immediately available to supervise and take control if needed, and the front-seat position is essential for clear visibility and instruction. The other scenarios don’t fit because you can’t drive without a licensed supervisor, the age isn’t 25 or older, and the supervising driver must be in the front seat—not the back.
