    1. Yes; any adult with a license qualifies.
    2. Yes; only the seat position matters.

    1. A qualifying permit held at least six months, with fewer than three points accumulated in the preceding six months.
    2. A permit held 30 days, regardless of points.
    3. Exactly one year of permit holding and no review of points.

    2. Yes; any signed practice log replaces a drive test.
    3. Yes, if all practice was during daylight.
    4. No, but only applicants over 18 need a drive test.

    4. 6 a.m. to midnight.

    My answer:

  12. 12. A POP holder finishes a work shift at 12:30 a.m. and travels directly home. How does the nighttime rule apply?

    4. The exception applies only if the employer rides along.

    1. No more than three such passengers.
    2. No more than one passenger under 19 who is not an immediate family member.
    3. Any number, because both friends are 18.
    4. No passengers of any age or relationship.

    My answer:

  14. 14. A POP holder believes the phone restriction ends when the learner stage ends. Is that correct?

    1. Yes; the POP permits every hands-free and handheld use.
    2. Yes; only school permit holders have a phone restriction.
    3. No, but only when an unrelated passenger is present.
    4. No; the POP also prohibits interactive wireless-device use while operating on the highways.

    My answer:

  15. 15. An adult rides in the rear seat of a modern car driven by a POP holder. May that passenger leave the available belt unused?

    4. Within one year.

    My answer:

    4. Vision, written and drive tests.

    My answer:

  20. 20. An adult new resident surrenders an out-of-state license that expired two years ago. Which tests does DMV require because of that expiration?
