What is a primary restriction for holders of a Restricted Auto license?

Holders of a Restricted Auto license have specific limitations designed to ensure safe driving as they gain experience. One of the primary restrictions is the inability to drive after dark. This rule exists to reduce risks associated with nighttime driving, which can be more challenging due to decreased visibility and increased likelihood of encountering impaired drivers or other hazards. By prohibiting driving during these hours, new drivers are encouraged to gain the necessary experience in safer, less complex driving situations.

The other options address various driving conditions but do not encapsulate the primary concern of nighttime safety regulated by this specific license. For instance, driving during rush hour can occur when traffic is heavy but doesn’t inherently increase danger in the same manner, and GPS usage, while potentially distracting, is not prohibited under the standard restrictions of a Restricted Auto license. Driving on highways may also be possible under certain conditions, though not typically recommended for inexperienced drivers.
