What kind of vehicles does a Class D license restrict operation of regarding passenger capacity?

Vehicles for four passengers or less
Vehicles meant for 10 passengers or more
Vehicles meant for 15 passengers or more
Vehicles for two passengers only

The correct answer is: Vehicles meant for 15 passengers or more

A Class D license in Minnesota allows individuals to operate standard passenger vehicles as well as some light trucks and vans, but it restricts drivers from operating larger vehicles designed to carry more passengers. Specifically, this license does not permit the operation of vehicles that are built to transport 15 passengers or more, which includes larger vans and certain types of buses. In contrast, vehicles for fewer passengers, such as those for four, ten, or even two passengers, fall within the scope of what a Class D license covers. Therefore, the distinction lies in the vehicle's passenger capacity, where 15 or more is the threshold that requires a different class of license, often reflecting the additional responsibilities and potential complications involved in operating larger passenger vehicles.
