How long must you hold a Level Two Limited Provisional License before applying for a Full Provisional License?
-
A.
Twelve months
-
B.
Three months
-
C.
Nine months
-
D.
Six months Correct
The answer is "Six months"
You must hold a Level Two Limited Provisional License for at least six months before applying for a Full Provisional License. Nine months tempts readers who study the two tiers back to back and carry the Level One holding period over to the Level Two line.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Twelve months
Twelve months doubles the required hold period. Picked by drivers reaching for the one-year license revocation printed a few pages later for a provisional licensee's underage alcohol conviction and reading it as a holding period.
B. Three months
Three months is too short. The manual requires six months at Level Two before applying for Level Three. Picked by drivers thinking of the 90-day probation stage some other states' graduated licensing programs attach to the second teen license tier.
C. Nine months
Nine months is the Level One Limited Learner Permit holding period printed on the facing page, not the Level Two hold. Picked by readers whose eye lands on the nine-month figure first and who assume both stages share one holding period.
