You are 17 with a California provisional license. Which type of driving does the manual specifically prohibit?
-
A.
Driving your immediate family members to school.
-
B.
Driving on freeways during daylight hours.
-
C.
Driving for pay or a commercial Class A, B, or C vehicle. Correct
The answer is "Driving for pay or a commercial Class A, B, or C vehicle."
Provisional drivers cannot drive for pay or in vehicles requiring a commercial Class A, B, or C license. The freeway answer comes from a graduated program elsewhere that restricts highway driving for new licensees; California limits hours, not roads.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Driving your immediate family members to school.
Family transportation is not prohibited; the manual lists driving an immediate family member as an exception to other restrictions. This answer confuses the passenger-under-20 rule with a broader ban on driving relatives around.
B. Driving on freeways during daylight hours.
California sets no daylight freeway ban for provisional drivers; the restricted hours run from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. This answer invents a freeway restriction that some other states apply to new drivers but California does not.
