When driving unsupervised on a Level Two Limited Provisional License, with no under-21 household members in the vehicle, how many non-household passengers under 21 may you carry (setting aside the narrow school-transport exception)?
-
A.
Any number of teens as long as one adult is present
-
B.
None; the passenger seat must be empty
-
C.
One passenger under 21 not in your household Correct
-
D.
Up to three passengers, provided they are all students
The answer is "One passenger under 21 not in your household"
A Level Two driver operating unsupervised may carry one passenger under 21 who is not a household member, and under-21 household members may not ride at the same time as any under-21 non-household passenger. The manual carves out one additional under-21 non-household rider only when that rider is a student being driven directly to or from school. Choice D is the trap for drivers who read the student carve-out as general permission to carpool classmates, when the manual grants it only for direct school transport of a single additional rider.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Any number of teens as long as one adult is present
An adult passenger does not reset the passenger cap under Level Two. Borrows the Level One supervising-driver rule and treats any adult onboard as unlocking the unsupervised Level Two cap.
B. None; the passenger seat must be empty
The rule allows one non-household passenger under 21, not zero. Carries the Level One front-seat seating restriction over into Level Two and mistakes it for a vehicle-wide passenger ban.
D. Up to three passengers, provided they are all students
The manual permits only one additional under-21 non-household rider, and only when that rider is a student being driven directly to or from school. Reads the one-extra-student, direct-to-school carve-out as blanket permission to carpool classmates.
