A provisional driver needs to drive during restricted hours for a school activity. Who must sign the note they carry?
-
A.
The DMV field office manager for the driver's home region.
-
B.
A parent or guardian, and a teacher as a witness.
-
C.
The school principal, dean, or designee. Correct
The answer is "The school principal, dean, or designee."
The school-activity note has to be signed by the principal, dean, or designee. The pull toward B comes from carrying the parental-signature step from the original application over to a note the manual routes through school leadership.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. The DMV field office manager for the driver's home region.
DMV does not sign school-exception notes; the school principal, dean, or designee does. This answer assumes any driving waiver flows through DMV, the source of most driver permissions.
B. A parent or guardian, and a teacher as a witness.
Parent and teacher signatures do not satisfy the school-activity exception; only the principal, dean, or designee can sign. This answer blurs the parental-consent step from the original application with the separate school-exception note.
