From what time are drivers with a provisional license prohibited from driving?

  1. 10 PM to 6 AM

  2. Midnight to 5 AM

  3. 11 PM to 5 AM

  4. Midnight to 6 AM

The correct answer is: Midnight to 5 AM

Drivers with a provisional license in Minnesota are prohibited from driving during the hours of midnight to 5 AM. This restriction is in place to ensure that novice drivers gain experience in a variety of driving conditions and to reduce the risk of accidents during late-night hours, which are statistically more dangerous due to factors like decreased visibility and the potential for encountering impaired drivers. This nighttime driving restriction helps reinforce safe driving habits and maturity by encouraging provisional drivers to limit their driving during the hours when the roads are less safe. Understanding and adhering to this rule is crucial for provisional license holders as it supports their development into responsible drivers and helps them progress to a full, unrestricted license in the future.
