The period that a “new driver” is obliged to be escorted in a private passenger vehicle is?
- Two years from the date in which the license was initially received.
- Correct answer: Three months from the date in which the license was initially received.
- Two months from the date in which the license was initially received.
- There is no time limitation as regards to a new-driver escorting period.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Three months from the date in which the license was initially received.
A new driver of a private passenger vehicle must drive with an escort for the first three months from the date the licence was first received. The escort lets the new driver gain experience under the supervision of an experienced driver. Two years is the length of the whole "new driver" status, which carries other restrictions, but the escort obligation is shorter.
