Minnesota Blue Card Practice Test

What time span restricts new drivers from being on the road?

1. Evening to morning

2. Midnight to 5 am

3. Sunset to sunrise

4. 10 pm to 6 am

The correct answer is: Midnight to 5 am

The time span that restricts new drivers from being on the road is midnight to 5 am. This restriction is typically part of graduated licensing laws in many states, designed to reduce the risks associated with inexperienced drivers during late-night hours. Late-night driving can be particularly hazardous due to factors such as decreased visibility, increased likelihood of fatigue, and a higher incidence of impaired drivers on the roads. Therefore, limiting new drivers from being on the road during this time helps enhance safety for both the novice drivers and the general public. By establishing specific hours in which new drivers are restricted, the regulatory authorities aim to encourage more responsible driving habits and gradually allow these drivers to gain experience in varied conditions over time.
