Apart from a driving instructor, who may escort a “new driver”?
- Any holder of a valid driving license for the same class of vehicle, and aged at least 24 yrs old.
- A holder of a driving license for the same class of vehicle for at least 3 years and aged at least 30 yrs old, or a holder of a license for at least 2 yrs and aged at least 35 yrs old.
- Any person who has not been convicted for any traffic offence during the past two years.
- Correct answer: A holder of a driving license for the same class of vehicle for at least 5 years and aged at least 24 yrs old, or a holder of a license for at least 3 yrs and aged at least 30 yrs old.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A holder of a driving license for the same class of vehicle for at least 5 years and aged at least 24 yrs old, or a holder of a license for at least 3 yrs and aged at least 30 yrs old.
An escort for a new driver must meet two conditions together: a minimum age and a minimum number of years holding a licence for the same class of vehicle. The options are at least 5 years of licence and age 24, or at least 3 years and age 30. A valid licence at age 24 alone is not enough because it lacks experience, and a clean traffic record is not the deciding criterion.
