A “new driver” aged less than 21 years (or has not completed two years from the date of receiving a "new driver" license) cannot transport in a vehicle:
- More than three passengers, besides himself, unless an escort sits beside him.
- More than one person, besides himself.
- More than four passengers, besides himself, unless an escort sits beside him.
- Correct answer: More than two passengers, besides himself, unless an escort sits beside him in the front seat.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: More than two passengers, besides himself, unless an escort sits beside him in the front seat.
Young, inexperienced drivers are easily distracted by several passengers, which raises their crash risk. So a new driver under 21 may carry no more than two passengers besides himself. The limit is lifted only when an escort sits beside him in the front seat and supervises the driving. An escort sitting in the back does not allow extra passengers.
