Driver's License Test Prep
Texas Practice Graduated Licensing

During Phase Two, how many passengers under 21 who are not family members may a Texas provisional license holder carry at one time?

  1. A.
    Three
  2. B.
    One Correct
  3. C.
    None
  4. D.
    Two
The Why

The answer is "One"

Texas caps non-family passengers under 21 at one during Phase Two: the manual bars driving with more than one such passenger. Answer C is the trap because several other states' provisional programs forbid any young passengers during the first year, and drivers who studied a friend's out-of-state materials often port that stricter rule across.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. Three

Three exceeds the passenger cap the manual prints for Phase Two. This answer borrows a three-passenger cap that appears in some other states' rules but has no place in the Texas provisional program.

C. None

The Texas rule allows up to one non-family passenger under 21, not zero. This answer adopts the strictest version of the passenger limit used by other states' provisional programs instead of the Texas ceiling.

D. Two

Two would put the driver over the manual's cap of one non-family passenger under 21. This answer reads "more than one" as the number that is allowed, rather than the ceiling the rule sets.
