A Nevada teen lives more than 30 miles from a DMV-approved driver's education school and cannot access the internet for a class. How much behind-the-wheel driving must this teen complete?
-
A.
150 hours, 15 in the dark
-
B.
50 hours, 10 at night
-
C.
100 hours, 10 in the dark Correct
-
D.
30 hours, 5 in the dark
The answer is "100 hours, 10 in the dark"
For teens who live more than 30 miles from a DMV-approved school and cannot access an online class, the manual requires 100 hours of behind-the-wheel driving experience, with 10 of those hours completed in the dark.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 150 hours, 15 in the dark
Overshoots the required hours; the manual sets the alternative at 100 hours, not 150. This answer inflates the 100-hour alternative requirement by 50 hours.
B. 50 hours, 10 at night
Confuses the standard 50-hour requirement for teens within the 30-mile radius with the 100-hour rule that applies here. This answer reaches for the 50-hour figure most Nevada teens actually work toward and does not realize the outside-30-mile exception doubles it.
D. 30 hours, 5 in the dark
Undershoots the required hours; teens outside the 30-mile radius must complete 100 hours, not 30. This answer slashes the 100-hour alternative requirement to under a third.
