A 16-year-old holds a Class DJ license, not a learner permit or senior Class D license. May this driver take a car trip within Brooklyn?
Correct answer: No; a Class DJ license does not permit driving within New York City's five boroughs.

At 10 p.m. in Albany County, a Class DJ holder wants to drive home from a movie. A licensed 25-year-old friend offers to ride along but is not a parent, guardian, person in loco parentis, driver-education teacher or driving-school instructor. Which statement is correct?
Correct answer: The friend does not qualify; arrange permitted supervision or another ride.
A movie is not the employment or qualifying school-course exception. Upstate junior driving from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. otherwise requires a permitted supervisor, not just any adult friend.

At 2 p.m. in upstate New York, a Class DJ driver is allowed to drive without supervision. Two friends aged 17 and 18 want a ride; neither is immediate family and no qualified supervising adult will be present. What is the passenger limit?
Correct answer: At most one of these friends may ride.
In this unsupervised junior-license situation, only one passenger under 21 who is not immediate family is allowed. Having enough belts does not remove that limit.

An upstate Class DJ learner-permit holder plans to practice at 11 p.m. with a licensed 25-year-old friend. The friend is not a parent, guardian, person in loco parentis, driver-education teacher or driving-school instructor. Is that supervision sufficient?
Correct answer: No; junior-permit practice at that hour requires a qualified category of supervisor.
Upstate junior-permit nighttime practice has a narrower supervisor rule than daytime practice. A properly licensed adult friend alone does not meet it.

A 17-year-old has completed qualifying high-school driver education and has an MV-285 certificate, but still holds a Class DJ license that has not been changed to Class D. Which restrictions apply?

Course completion establishes eligibility for an early senior license; it does not by itself change a junior credential. The driver must complete the license change.

Your car's blind-spot warning is silent when you want to change lanes. What should you do?

Snow is covering your car's driver-assistance sensors before a trip. What is the appropriate response?
