Driver's License Test Prep
North Carolina Practice Graduated Licensing

A supervising driver for a Level One or Level Two licensee must have been licensed for at least how many years?

  1. A.
    Three years
  2. B.
    Ten years
  3. C.
    Five years Correct
  4. D.
    Two years
The Why

The answer is "Five years"

North Carolina requires a supervising driver to hold a valid license and have been licensed for at least five years. Drivers who learned in a state with a shorter supervisor rule often carry the lower minimum over and pick D.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. Three years

Three years is still shorter than North Carolina's five-year minimum. This answer splits the difference between a too-short guess and the correct number instead of reading the manual's five-year rule.

B. Ten years

Ten years overstates the licensure history the manual requires. This answer rounds up on the assumption that supervising a new teen driver must call for a full decade of experience.

D. Two years

Two years is below North Carolina's five-year minimum for a supervising driver. This answer carries over a shorter supervisor licensure minimum from a previous state.
