Within the required practice hours for an applicant under 18, what specific conditions must be covered?
-
A.
At least 10 hours at night and five in bad weather Correct
-
B.
Any 20 of the hours must be on interstate highways
-
C.
Night driving counts only after a training course
-
D.
At least five hours after dark, with no poor-weather minimum
The answer is "At least 10 hours at night and five in bad weather"
The 65 hours are not undifferentiated. No less than 10 hours must be at night and five must be in bad weather. Choice D tempts drivers who recall the night figure as five and then drop the bad-weather minimum, collapsing two separate requirements into one number.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Any 20 of the hours must be on interstate highways
The practice requirement names no road type at all. This answer imports a highway-mileage idea from commercial-license training that the junior permit rule does not include.
C. Night driving counts only after a training course
Nighttime hours count from the start of supervised practice. This answer assumes night practice is something a learner must earn permission for by first finishing a course.
D. At least five hours after dark, with no poor-weather minimum
Both a nighttime minimum and a bad-weather minimum apply, and the nighttime figure is the larger one. This answer swaps the ten- and five-hour figures because the smaller number sticks in memory first.
