Question 1681 in the bank

A “new driver” under 21 yrs should not carry in a private passenger car:

  1. More than four passengers besides himself, unless he is accompanied by an escort.
  2. More than four passengers, and provided that all of them are licensed to drive private vehicles.
  3. Correct answer: More than two passengers besides himself, unless he is accompanied by an escort.
  4. More than one passenger besides himself, unless he is accompanied by an escort.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: More than two passengers besides himself, unless he is accompanied by an escort.

A new driver under 21 may carry in a private passenger car up to two passengers besides himself. To carry more than that, an escort must be sitting beside him. Therefore it is not correct that four passengers are allowed, nor is one passenger the limit. The restriction depends on the presence of an escort, not on whether the passengers hold driving licenses.
