- A 14
- B 15 and a half
- C 15
- D 16
Show answer
C. 15
Teens can start with a Class D instruction permit at age 15 once they pass the knowledge, signs and vision tests. They must also be enrolled in driver education, including the behind-the-wheel portion.
Besides passing the tests, what must a 15-year-old do before Wisconsin will issue an instruction permit?
- A Log 50 hours of supervised driving with a parent or guardian
- B Finish a full year of high school driver theory
- C Pass the road test with a DMV examiner
- D Be enrolled in driver education, including behind-the-wheel
Show answer
D. Be enrolled in driver education, including behind-the-wheel
Applicants under 18 must be enrolled in a driver education program that includes the behind-the-wheel portion. The behind-the-wheel school gives you a signed MV3001 application to bring to the DMV.
How much licensed driving experience must the person supervising a Class D permit holder have?
- A At least three years
- B At least five years
- C At least one year
- D At least two years
Show answer
D. At least two years
The supervising driver must have at least two years of licensed driving experience and hold a valid regular license. This makes sure the coach has real experience before teaching a new driver.
Your 23-year-old cousin, licensed for three years, now holds only an occupational license. Can she supervise your instruction-permit driving?
- A Yes, because she is over 21 years old
- B Yes, but only during daylight hours
- C Yes, any valid Wisconsin license qualifies for supervision
- D No, the supervisor must hold a valid regular license
Show answer
D. No, the supervisor must hold a valid regular license
A permit supervisor must hold a valid regular license, not a probationary or occupational one, and have two years of experience. An occupational license is a restricted privilege, so it does not qualify someone to coach a learner.
