The Certification of Supervised Driving requires that a minimum share of practice hours take place after sunset. How many?
-
A.
20 hours
-
B.
25 hours
-
C.
15 hours Correct
-
D.
10 hours
The answer is "15 hours"
Out of the 50 supervised hours, at least 15 must be logged after sunset so a new driver gets real practice under headlights. Choice D is the figure a driver carries in from a state whose GDL sets ten nighttime hours; New York asks for fifteen, and it's worth memorizing on its own rather than as a share of the fifty-hour total.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 20 hours
The manual's after-sunset minimum is 15 hours, not 20. This answer rounds the fifteen-hour figure up to a familiar even number on a general instinct that night driving deserves a bigger share.
B. 25 hours
The after-sunset minimum is 15 hours, not half of the 50-hour total. This answer splits the fifty-hour requirement in half on the assumption that night practice must match daytime practice.
D. 10 hours
New York's after-sunset minimum is 15 hours, not 10. This answer carries over the ten-hour after-dark minimum set by several other states' graduated licensing laws.
