Practice question

What must all drivers under 18 years of age complete before obtaining their full license?

  1. driver education program
  2. defensive driving course
  3. state-approved traffic safety seminar
  4. An online driving test

Answer: A — driver education program

In Massachusetts, drivers under 18 years of age are required to complete a driver education program before they can obtain their full license. This program is essential as it ensures that young drivers receive the necessary training in both the theoretical and practical aspects of driving. The driver education program typically includes classroom instruction, behind-the-wheel training, and possibly some additional education on safe driving practices. This requirement is in place to help foster responsible driving habits among new drivers, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall road safety. The other choices, while potentially beneficial for drivers, do not fulfill the specific requirement mandated by the state for those under 18 looking to transition from a learner's permit to a full license.
