When driving with a Nevada Class C instruction permit, the licensed driver accompanying you must be at least what age?
-
A.
21 years old Correct
-
B.
25 years old
-
C.
16 years old
-
D.
18 years old
The answer is "21 years old"
A Class C instruction permit holder must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21 years of age or older, has at least one year of licensed driving experience, and is seated beside them.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. 25 years old
Overshoots the supervisor age; the manual sets the requirement at 21, not 25. This answer confuses a rental-car age threshold with the 21-year permit-supervisor rule.
C. 16 years old
Confuses the driver's-license minimum age with the permit-supervisor minimum age. Sixteen is when a Nevada teen can first hold a full license, and that number gets pulled from memory in place of the actual supervisor threshold.
D. 18 years old
Confuses the general adult age with the required supervisor age of 21. This answer substitutes the age of majority for the 21-year supervisor requirement.
