- Anybody receiving for the first time a driver’s license for private passenger cars, and is younger than 30 years of age.
- Anybody receiving for the first time a driver’s license for private passenger cars, and is younger than 21 years of age.
- Correct answer: Anybody receiving for the first time a driver’s license for private passenger cars or a C1 class license for light trucks.
- Anybody receiving for the first time a driver’s license for private passenger cars, and is younger than 24 years of age.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Anybody receiving for the first time a driver’s license for private passenger cars or a C1 class license for light trucks.
The escort requirement applies to anyone who receives a first licence for a private passenger car or a C1 light truck, whatever their age. The idea is that every new driver gains early experience alongside an experienced driver. Options that limit the requirement to drivers under a certain age are wrong, because older new drivers must also have an escort.
