Driver's License Test Prep
California Practice Graduated Licensing

A provisional driver must drive to work between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. What documentation is required?

  1. A.
    A note signed by your employer. Correct
  2. B.
    A copy of your work schedule.
  3. C.
    A note from a school principal or dean.
The Why

The answer is "A note signed by your employer."

The manual requires a note signed by the employer confirming employment. Drivers who land on B reach for the paper already in hand, treating a work schedule as proof of the job and missing that the manual specifies an employer's signature on a note written for this purpose.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

B. A copy of your work schedule.

A schedule alone is not the document the manual names for the work-hours exception. This answer picks the paper the driver already has in hand, missing that the manual asks for an employer signature.

C. A note from a school principal or dean.

Names the document required for the school-activity exception, not the work exception. This answer blends the school exception into the work exception because both sit in the same bullet list.
