Driver's License Test Prep
North Carolina Practice Graduated Licensing

You hold a Level Two Limited Provisional License. Apart from direct trips to or from work or a qualifying volunteer fire, rescue, or EMS call, during what hours may you drive without supervision?

  1. A.
    Any time a parent knows your destination.
  2. B.
    Between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. Correct
  3. C.
    Between 6 a.m. and midnight.
  4. D.
    From dawn until dusk.
The Why

The answer is "Between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m."

A Level Two driver in North Carolina may drive unsupervised only from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m.; the work and qualifying volunteer emergency service trips are the exceptions the prompt already sets aside. Drivers who pick 6 a.m. to midnight are borrowing a familiar teen weekend curfew shape from other states, missing that North Carolina opens the window an hour earlier so early-shift commuters are covered and cuts it off three hours before midnight.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. Any time a parent knows your destination.

Parental knowledge does not override the printed time window. This answer substitutes a household check-in habit many families already use for the fixed clock hours North Carolina writes into the license itself.

C. Between 6 a.m. and midnight.

Both ends of this window sit outside the times the manual sets. This answer reads the unsupervised window as an ordinary teen weekend curfew borrowed from other states, missing that North Carolina starts it an hour earlier and cuts it off three hours before midnight.

D. From dawn until dusk.

The rule uses specific clock times, not daylight. This answer treats the restriction as a daylight-hours limit borrowed from headlight-use logic instead of the specific clock hours printed for Level Two.
