Practice question

At what age can you apply for a full unrestricted driver’s license after holding a learner’s permit in Massachusetts?

  1. At least 16 years old
  2. At least 17 years old
  3. At least 18 years old
  4. At least 19 years old

Answer: C — At least 18 years old

In Massachusetts, an individual can apply for a full unrestricted driver's license at the age of 18 after holding a learner's permit. The learner's permit is typically held for a minimum period, during which the new driver must gain experience. Once the individual turns 18 and has met all the necessary requirements, including a certain number of supervised driving hours, they can then apply for the full license. This is in alignment with Massachusetts laws that emphasize ensuring young drivers have adequate experience before obtaining full driving privileges.
