A driver under age 19 may use a wireless device while driving only to contact which of the following in an emergency?
-
A.
Any roadside towing or auto repair service
-
B.
Their parent or legal guardian at home
-
C.
A close friend or nearby family member
-
D.
Law enforcement, health care, or emergency services Correct
The answer is "Law enforcement, health care, or emergency services"
The Graduated Driver Licensing rule limits under-19 drivers to contacting law enforcement, a health care provider, or emergency services during an emergency. The parent choice tempts test-takers who assume 'emergency' for a teen means calling a parent; the manual's list is narrower and does not include family.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Any roadside towing or auto repair service
Towing and repair services are not among the emergency-contact exceptions for under-19 drivers. This answer treats roadside assistance as an emergency service, when the manual limits the exception to responders and providers.
B. Their parent or legal guardian at home
A parent is not on the manual's short list of allowed emergency contacts. This answer treats calling a parent as a teen's default emergency contact, when the manual lists only official responders.
C. A close friend or nearby family member
The manual does not include friends or family in the under-19 emergency exception. This answer extends 'emergency' to any trusted person, when the manual names only law enforcement, health care, and emergency services.
